The agentic SOC—Rethinking SecOps for the next decade

The agentic SOC is a new operating model where security operations centers use AI agents (software programs that can act autonomously) and automated defenses to respond to threats faster and more independently, rather than waiting for human analysts to handle every alert. Instead of reacting to individual incidents, this approach anticipates cyberattacker movements and automatically takes defensive actions, freeing human analysts to focus on strategic decisions and deeper investigation.
