Separating the Pretenders from the Contenders: Using AI in the SOC

Abnormal Security's Field CISO, Mick Leach, shares how SOC professionals can differentiate true AI-powered solutions from those with AI bolted on.

Key Insights

Most vendor AI solutions are bolt-on additions that save minutes, not the promised hours of analyst time.

SOC professionals remain skeptical of AI claims because few solutions use AI to its fullest potential.

Security leaders must distinguish between AI solutions that are superficially added versus deeply integrated into workflows.

Every vendor today claims that their solution uses AI, but SOC professionals remain unimpressed. Why? Because the majority of these solutions simply bolt AI onto the side of something that already exists, saving us minutes instead of the promised hours.

But there are solutions that truly use AI—if we can discover them. In this video, Abnormal Field CISO Mick Leach discusses the frustrations the SOC is feeling, how AI can look when used to its fullest potential, and how you can separate the pretenders from the contenders.
