CISO Guide to SOC Productivity

Security Operations Centers (SOCs) are facing unprecedented challenges: overwhelming alert volumes, talent shortages, burnout, and rising pressure from increasingly sophisticated cyber threats. This guide offers CISOs a strategic approach to reclaiming productivity through AI automation.

Drawing on recent industry data, it highlights the root issues—like alert fatigue, slow response times, and a shortage of skilled analysts—and presents how AI can dramatically shift SOCs from reactive to proactive. AI-powered platforms can automate alert triage, email threat response, SIEM log prioritization, and XDR correlation—leading to up to 5,000 hours saved annually, a 35% improvement in response times, and significantly fewer false positives.
