Legacy SOC infrastructure can't keep pace with the modern threat landscape, leaving SecOps teams overwhelmed and underprepared to face increasingly sophisticated and frequent cyber threats. Security alerts and malicious actors eventually slip through the cracks, putting organizations at risk of catastrophic incidents.

CISOs with underperforming, inefficient or otherwise struggling SOCs should consider investing in modernization initiatives that address people, processes and technology to achieve better security outcomes. These include integrating tools such as security incident and event management (SIEM), security orchestration, automation and response (SOAR) and extended detection and response (XDR); automating repetitive tasks so staff can focus on more engaging work; and using AI-enabled tools to detect threats and prioritize alerts.
