The evolution of the Security Operations Center (SOC)

Will Ledesma, Senior Director of MDR Cybersecurity Operations at N-able joins SDxCentral’s Kat Sullivan to discuss the rapid evolution of the Security Operations Center as companies race to keep pace with faster cyber threats. But how often is this transformation driven by intentional design versus reactive change? Key discussion points include:

  • How SOCs are shifting from manual, alert-driven operations to AI-led investigation models
  • The growing role of AI SOCs incorporating SOAR to augment analysts
  • Why faster breach times are rendering traditional response models obsolete
  • How the analyst role is evolving toward deeper incident response work
  • Why continuous learning is essential in an AI-driven security landscape
