Anton Chuvakin AI SOC Panel Series
These are knowledge sharing sessions with technology vendor founders, all of whom have deep expertise in the topic. There are zero product pitches or any marketing messaging: the aim is to reduce the knowledge gap that is rife among CISOs and other practitioners.
Panel Topics
8 initial sessions on various SOC Automation topics. Each panel has its own page with the session details and open discussion.
- Benchmarking AI for Behavioral Analytics in SOCs How do you measure whether an AI behavioral-analytics layer is actually catching what your SOC used to miss? The founders compare benchmarking approaches — detection lift, false-positive economics, and the baselines that make or break a fair evaluation. View panel
- Measuring Workforce Impact of Automation on SOC Staffing & Skills Automation changes what a SOC analyst's day looks like — and what skills the role demands next. A founder-level discussion of the real staffing data: which tiers shrink, which skills appreciate, and how to measure the shift honestly. View panel
- Exploring Emerging SOC Automation Patterns & Innovations Beyond the SOAR playbook: the automation patterns founders are seeing work in production SOCs right now, from agentic triage to autonomous enrichment. What is genuinely new, what is rebranded, and what the field data says. View panel
- Reviewing Next Gen SOC Automation Innovations A critical review of the next generation of SOC automation — where model-driven investigation is delivering, where it still breaks, and the architecture decisions that separate durable platforms from demos. View panel
- Evaluating Best Practices for Embedding Automation into SOC Workflows Automation that fights the analyst loses. The founders share what embedding actually requires — workflow mapping before tooling, trust calibration, and the rollout sequencing that gets a SOC team to rely on automation rather than route around it. View panel
- Stress Testing Future Proofing Strategies for SOC Automation Every automation investment is a bet on how the threat landscape and the model landscape evolve. This panel stress-tests future-proofing strategies: portability, vendor lock-in, model churn, and what to build in-house versus buy. View panel
- Testing Automated Detection Engineering Workflows Detection-as-code promised repeatability; AI now promises to write the detections themselves. The founders examine how automated detection engineering holds up under testing — coverage, drift, validation pipelines, and who reviews the machine's rules. View panel
- Comparing Integration Solutions for Automation with Existing Security Infrastructure No SOC starts from zero — automation has to meet the SIEM, EDR, and ticketing stack already in place. A comparison of integration approaches, from API-first meshes to embedded agents, and the operational costs each one hides. View panel
