The goal is for AI to be a force multiplier for hardworking security professionals. Security operations center (SOC) analysts, as we saw in the most recent Devo SOC Performance Report™, are often overwhelmed by the never-ending number of alerts that hit their screens each day. Alert fatigue has become an industry-wide cause of analyst burnout.
Ideally, AI could help SOC analysts keep pace with (and stay ahead of) clever and relentless threat actors who are using AI effectively for criminal or espionage purposes. But unfortunately, that doesn’t seem to be happening yet.
