The Hidden SecOps Bottleneck: Getting the Right Data In and the Right Actions Out

AI-driven security, Artificial Intelligence, Cybersecurity, MSSPs, Security Operations Center (SOC), SOC / /

Every security team wants better outcomes. Faster detection. Faster triage. Faster investigation. Faster response.But many teams are slowed down by a less visible problem: operational friction. A customer has a data source that is not supported yet. A parser needs to be built. A log format is messy. A hunting playbook works in one environment […]

Detection Fidelity Is the New SecOps Efficiency Metric

Cybersecurity, Identity Threat Detection & Response (ITDR), Network Security, SOC / /

Security teams have spent years collecting more data, generating more alerts, and covering more attack surfaces. But more is not always better. More alerts can mean more noise. More detections can mean more false positives. More telemetry can mean more data to search, store, normalize, and explain. For MSSPs, that creates margin pressure. For lean

Just after the turn of the century, IBM introduced the term, ‘autonomic IT.” At the time, IBM’s perspective was that IT applications, networks, and systems had become too complex for humans to manage, monitor, or secure. IBM presented its autonomic IT concept, with a vision of IT systems that could manage themselves with advanced capabilities

NDR is a Requirement for Modern Security Defenses and the Agentic SOC

AI-driven security, Artificial Intelligence, Cybersecurity, Network Security, Security Operations Center (SOC), security technology, SOC / /

Network Detection and Response (NDR) has been the Rodney Dangerfield of security tools over the past few years – “it don’t get no respect.” Conceivably, this state of disrepute came from all the marketing money thrown at Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) and eXtended Detection and Response (XDR). It could also be related to growth

Anthropic’s Mythos Preview just changed the threat landscape in ways the security industry isn’t fully prepared for

Application Security, Artificial Intelligence, Cybersecurity, Security Operations Center (SOC) / /

The attacker’s blind spot just disappeared Today’s attackers largely treat software as a black box. Some study open-source software (OSS) to tailor their techniques, but doing this at scale has always been practically impossible which created a natural ceiling on adversarial precision. Mythos removes that ceiling entirely. Because frontier LLMs are trained on virtually all

Bullish on Autonomous SOC. Realist about what gets us there. There’s been plenty of talk lately about the Autonomous SOC — a future where machines don’t just alert but correlate, triage, investigate, and respond. It sounds fantastic, especially if you’ve ever worked the night shift buried in alerts. But here’s the truth: you can’t automate

In today’s hybrid world, identity is the new perimeter-and attackers know it. As traditional EDR and SIEM tools struggle to keep up, identity-focused attacks are rising fast. In fact, 70% of breaches now start with stolen credentials, according to Verizon’s 2024 and 2025 DBIR reports. This calls for a smarter approach to identity security-one that

In today’s cybersecurity arms race, visibility is everything—but context is king. Network Detection and Response (NDR) has long been one of the most effective ways to detect lateral movement, ransomware behaviors, and post-compromise activity using deep packet inspection and behavioral analysis. But as threat actors become more evasive and distributed, relying solely on NDR as a
