The Security Operations Center, or SOC, is the backbone of modern security operations. By centralizing security monitoring, detection, and response, SOCs help organizations manage security risks more efficiently and effectively.

In the face of massive growth, ITOps teams can face major challenges with productivity, burnout and efficiency.

History will look back on this period of the 21st century as a pioneering, resilient, and excitingly disruptive time.

The sheer force and potential of AI—coupled with unprecedented security risks and ongoing infrastructure advances will shape enterprises for years to come.
