From Playbooks to Agents: Rethinking Automation in the SOC with Filip Stojkovski
Q: What are, from your point of view, the three main questions that this person should ask to avoid buying something that is not exactly what they're aiming for?
Filip advises understanding use cases and operating models, as well as ensuring the solution is auditable and not just a black box.
From Playbooks to Agents: Rethinking Automation in the SOC with Filip Stojkovski
Q: How would you typically measure the help that the AI is bringing across? How would you measure how effective an AI is at doing the read work?
Filip suggests focusing on metrics such as escalation accuracy and decision accuracy to assess AI effectiveness, rather than just speed.
From Playbooks to Agents: Rethinking Automation in the SOC with Filip Stojkovski
Q: Can you unpack that a bit, explain what's broken from a point of view, and why still many organizations keep clinging to these automation-based playbooks?
Filip discusses the limitations of traditional automation in SOCs and how organizations often cling to outdated playbook-based systems, despite their inefficiencies.
The MSSP vs. Enterprise Divide: How Autonomous AI Changes the SOC Service Model ft. Erik Bloch @illumio
Q: What is one thing that you think AI vendors keep overselling?
AI vendors tend to oversell their ability to detect advanced persistent threats (APTs) rather than focusing on more common issues like phishing.
The MSSP vs. Enterprise Divide: How Autonomous AI Changes the SOC Service Model ft. Erik Bloch @illumio
Q: If you have $5 million to improve a SOC, what would be the first thing you would spend this money on?
I would initially fund a vacation for the team to reward their hard work, followed by hiring a program manager to implement process improvements and measurement systems.
