Thinking Fast and Slow in the SOC: The Case for Combining Autonomous AI with Analyst Copilots

A few days ago, I was sitting with the CISO of a Fortune 50 company, walking through how his security team was thinking about AI agents in the SOC. Smart team. Serious program. They had already connected Claude to a few detection tools and were seeing real value in specific investigations. But as we mapped out the broader architecture, something kept nagging at me. The design they were building

Sysdig uncovers first documented agentic ransomware operation July 10, 2026
Security researchers at Sysdig have documented what they believe is the first documented case of an AI agent running a ransomware operation from end to end. Dubbed JADEPUFFER, the operation used a large language model (LLM) to automate an attack that began with the exploitation of an internet-facing Langflow instance and ended in destructive database […]

AI-assisted software engineering is creating a new delivery paradox July 10, 2026
AI can generate code faster than most software organizations can absorb it. This should be a productivity breakthrough, but it also exposes a larger problem: many of the processes surrounding software delivery still happen at human speed. A new white paper from code4thought looks at what happens when AI changes how quickly teams write software, […]

Filigran report: Organisations can see their threats but can’t act fast enough July 10, 2026
Fragmented tools and manual processes are widening the gap between threat awareness and effective CTEM. Only 41% of organisations have a fully consolidated view of cyber risk exposure, and security teams spend 42% of their time investigating risks that turn out to be low priority or non-exploitable At the same time, AI-driven CTEM processes expected […]

The next phase of endpoint security starts with simplicity June 24, 2026
For years, enterprise endpoints were expected to handle everything locally, including productivity, collaboration, storage, and security, while supporting increasingly complex operating systems and applications. But as more workloads have moved into cloud-delivered environments, that model has started to break down. Today’s employees work across virtual desktops, web applications, browsers, and collaboration platforms from virtually anywhere. […]

What Are AI SOC Agents? Use Cases, Architecture, and the Leading Vendors June 19, 2026
The Alert Volume Problem That Created This Category The SANS 2025 Global SOC Survey found that 85% of SOCs trigger incident response primarily from endpoint alerts, while 42% admit to ingesting all data into their SIEM with no structured plan for retrieval or analysis. Volume has outpaced human capacity, and the gap between alerts fired […]

AI-Powered Attacks Become Top Concern for Security Professionals, New Filigran Survey Reveals June 19, 2026
AI-powered attacks are the biggest cybersecurity concern among security professionals. Forty-one percent identified AI-powered attacks at scale as their biggest security concern, nearly double the number citing supply chain risk (21%) or unknown threats (21%). AI-driven threats and what security professionals are doing about them is also the top concern for nearly one in three […]

SIG report: AI-generated code is linked to twice the security risk and rising technical debt June 11, 2026
AI-supported coding has progressed from experimental to the norm in organizations, yet technical debt, security risks, and costs could be piling up much faster than anyone realizes. This is one of the key takeaways from the Software Improvement Group (SIG) 2026 State of Software report, which analyzed more than 30,000 software systems and more than […]
