Today’s SOC analysts are drowning in myriad notifications. They’re trying to parse what’s real, what matters, and what’s a genuine threat to the organization. This exhausting daily routine is significantly contributing to job dissatisfaction and the high turnover rate in SecOps teams. But there’s a major new innovation that solves it: AI-driven hyperautomation. This modern SecOps approach is enabling a key shift away from code reliance and it’s transforming analysts’ roles forever.
SecOps Is No Longer Just For Code Warriors
During the legacy SOAR era, SecOps was largely exclusively the realm of expert coders. Analysts needed months of complex training and the ability to dig deep into myriad programming languages in order to assess and address threats.
Together, hyperautomation and generative AI liberate analysts from these requirements. The combination delivers auto-calibrated workflows in real time that can predictively mitigate threats before they happen–and even more importantly–handle them as they occur in real time. No code needed. The hyperautomation platform does all the work. And if something exceeds a critical impact threshold, hyperautomation’s human-in-the-loop crosschecks ensure the analyst is informed before a remediation approach is executed.
Out-of-the-Box Automations Don’t Cut It Anymore
Given the fact we’re living in the most complex security threat landscape in history, legacy SOAR’s out-of-the-box automations are simply no longer effective. They’ve historically been valuable prior to the explosion of novel cyberthreats, but with attackers hitting enterprises with more and more unanticipated tactics and strategies, the automation response must keep pace. Generative AI delivers a machine speed defense unlike anything we’ve previously seen in cybersecurity.
AI-driven hyperautomation is transforming and democratizing the role of SecOps analysts, so they can do more, with less training. This is lowering the bar to entry in the field, while further empowering their capabilities. By embracing AI-driven hyperautomation, we’re not just optimizing processes; we’re reinvigorating our teams, allowing them to shift from constant firefighting to proactive threat hunting and analysis.
