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 […]
Detection Fidelity Is the New SecOps Efficiency Metric Read More »
Every security leader has heard the promise by now: AI will transform security operations. It will reduce alert fatigue. It will accelerate investigations. It will make analysts more productive. It will help teams do more with less. The promise is real, but there is a catch. AI does not improve security outcomes simply because a

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

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
NDR is a Requirement for Modern Security Defenses and the Agentic SOC Read More »
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
If RSAC 2026 showed anything, it’s this: we’ve hit peak AI fatigue.

Every vendor says their SOC platform has AI agents. Most of them are running glorified chatbots on top of the same alert queues your analysts are already drowning in.

The average enterprise runs 45 security tools. Most of them can’t talk to each other and that’s a problem.

Executive Summary Modern SOCs are overwhelmed by data volume and complexity. The ability to filter, normalize, enrich, and route security data at scale without losing fidelity directly impacts detection accuracy, analyst efficiency, and compliance posture. With the full understanding of the significance of the data challenges and needs of such ability, Stellar Cyber’s data pipeline

Why SIEM + NDR + Any EDR Is the Strongest Path to a Human-Augmented Autonomous SOC Every security leader faces the same question: what should be at the core of a modern SecOps platform? CrowdStrike, SentinelOne, and others argue for an endpoint-first approach: start with EDR, then bolt on SIEM and any NDR. At Stellar

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
Live Network Traffic is the Missing Link: AI Can’t Detect What It Can’t See AI is dominating cybersecurity conversations—and MSSPs are rushing to capitalize. Whether through SIEM platforms with built-in ML, or EDRs with AI-assisted investigations, the promise is clear: faster detection, smarter triage, and better outcomes. But here’s the hard truth—AI alone won’t save

Scaling Cybersecurity Services with Agentic AI—Without Losing the Human Touch For today’s MSSPs (Managed Security Service Providers), the game has changed. Rapidly increasing alert volumes, evolving threat vectors, and an unforgiving labor market are forcing providers to rethink how they deliver security services. While legacy SIEMs and first-generation automation promised relief, they often led to

The cybersecurity landscape is filled with siloed tools and stitched-together so-called platforms. Meanwhile security teams are constantly under pressure to do more with less: faster detection, smarter triage, and reliable outcomes without endlessly expanding headcount or budgets.

Have you heard? SMB spending on small business cloud security is set to rise from six (6%) to eight (8%) percent YoY by 2028. So, what’s fueling the increase in IT spending? Gartner says record IT spending in the world’s hottest tech markets is being fueled by AI. And Deloitte says AI will be embedded
