AI SOC vs. SOAR: Augmentation or Replacement?
For SOC leaders approaching a SOAR renewal or weighing another automation investment, the question isn’t whether AI SOC replaces SOAR, it’s which parts of the workflow still need static playbooks.

Automated response and SOAR design patterns for security teams
Security teams often reach a point where alerts are arriving faster than people can triage them. At that stage, the question is not whether to automate, but what to automate, how far to automate, and how to keep control when… First seen on securityboulevard.com Jump to article: securityboulevard.com/2026/09/automated-response-and-soar-design-patterns-for-security-teams/

Stop Building a 2003 SOC with AI: Local Context, Failure Modes and Your Path (Part 3)
In Part 1 of this series, we dumped a pile of uncomfortable questions on you and promised answers. In Part 2 of the series, we talked about why 1990s-2000s alert triage must die. The core thesis, if you recall: if you add AI agents into a legacy, swivel-chair SOC structure, you are essentially building a robotic…
