Attackers got faster. Vendors got louder. A year ago, a handful of vendors claimed the AI SOC — today, more than 100 do. It’s time to separate the over-hyped from the battle-tested.

Torq Co-Founder and CTO Leonid Belkind sits down with hosts Maycie Belmore and Bob Boyle for his unfiltered take on the state of the AI SOC market — covering what’s driving the noise, what’s burning analyst trust, and how security teams can cut through 100+ AI SOC vendors to find what actually works.

On the table:

  • Triage-only chatbots that shift the work and create more noise for analysts
  • Legacy platforms with a fresh coat of paint that still struggle to scale
  • Black-box demos that don’t show (or have) the receipts on agentic decisions
  • Overfunded startups that have never seen a Fortune 500 SOC from the inside

Most won’t survive the year. A few will get acqui-hired. Only one will win. Tune in to hear Leonid’s state of the union on the AI SOC, and discover the one AI SOC (on a pterodactyl?!) that has the enterprise-ready, end-to-end platform to back it up.

Grab a Seat. It’s About to Get Real.
