A recent survey of security professionals reveals a strong desire to shift towards more preemptive security strategies. However, organizations face significant hurdles, including limited resources, fragmented security tools, and the emerging risks associated with AI. While many teams are exploring AI's potential for efficiency, concerns about its security and transparency remain.

The Cisco Event SOC at Cisco Live AMER 2026 served a dual purpose of providing security operations during the event and educating attendees. Through guided tours, dedicated speaker sessions, and interactions at the World of Solutions, the SOC shared insights into its live operations.

Security operations teams are increasingly adopting AI, but common assumptions about its role need reevaluation. Experts suggest AI should augment, not replace, human analysts by handling repetitive tasks and data processing. While automation is beneficial for enrichment and triage, critical actions still require human oversight. Transparency and explainability are crucial for building trust and ensuring analysts can confidently use AI outputs.
