About this episode
This episode discusses the evolution of the Security Operations Center (SOC) towards a Wisdom-Led, AI-driven model to improve threat detection and analyst efficiency.
Your SOC is drowning in alerts, false positives, and static tuning, while attackers evolve faster than your team can respond. Analysts burn out chasing noise. Real threats slip through. And traditional metrics reward ticket volume instead of investigation quality, creating “Swiss cheese security.” In this CISO Tradecraft episode, G. Mark Hardy and Oren Saban break down the rise of the Wisdom-Led, AI-driven SOC, where AI agents handle investigations and humans focus on judgment, prevention, and faster containment.
