Beyond SOAR: How AI Agents Are Transforming Security Operations


Listen Later

Alert overload, 24/7 coverage gaps, and human threat actors who never stop — the SOC has problems that traditional SOAR and rule-based systems simply can't solve. In this sponsored videocast, KuppingerCole analyst Matthew Gardiner and Rick Bosworth, Head of Product Marketing at Torq, dig into the findings of KuppingerCole's Emerging AI SOC Leadership Compass and explore what it actually takes to build an AI-powered security operations center.

Key Topics:

✅ Why rule-based SOAR has hit a wall — and how AI agents address what it can't
✅ The autonomy dial: why full automation isn't the goal and how to build trust incrementally
✅ Integrations, RAG, and MCP: the new data infrastructure powering AI agents in the SOC
✅ DIY SOC vs. managed providers: how agentic AI is reshuffling the build-vs-buy decision
✅ Where to start: alert triage, phishing, and typosquatting as low-risk entry points
✅ Guardrails, transparency, and the non-deterministic challenge of AI-driven security

"AI agents hate people because they're slow" — but full autonomy isn't the answer either. Find out how leading SOC teams are finding the right balance between speed and control.

This videocast is sponsored by Torq — featured in KuppingerCole's Emerging AI SOC Leadership Compass. Read the report, then watch this session to hear the findings brought to life.
