Running an AI-Powered SOC
about the event:
AI is changing the speed of attacks. SOC teams now face a practical challenge: how do you use AI to investigate and respond at the same speed, without giving up the control and oversight security operations require?
This session answers that question from two angles. First, Carly Page sits down with Oren Saban (Co-Founder & CPO, Mate Security) for a candid conversation about what security leaders are actually prioritizing and where they’re holding back when it comes to AI in the SOC. Then Zach Christensen, founding solutions engineer from Mate Security will put those decisions into practice showing when AI can own actions, when human control is required, and what changes as you give AI more autonomy.
You’ll leave with a practical framework for AI autonomy in your SOC, where human control still matters, and how to increase autonomy as trust grows.
we'll cover:
- A practical framework for evaluating which SOC investigation workflows are ready for AI agent handoff and which ones still require human control.
- How CISOs at major financial institutions are making real decisions about AI autonomy in their security operations right now.
- A live walkthrough of AI agents handling an alert investigation end to end including triage, context building, resolution, and escalation.
- A clear model for increasing AI autonomy incrementally as your team builds trust, without giving up oversight..
