Summary

Hide ▲

Many SOCs struggle to operationalize AI effectively, often adopting it without clear integration strategies. The 2025 SANS SOC Survey reveals that 40% of SOCs use AI/ML tools without operational integration, and 42% rely on out-of-the-box solutions without customization. AI can enhance SOC capabilities in detection engineering, threat hunting, software development, automation, and reporting, but only when applied to well-defined problems with clear validation processes. Effective AI integration requires narrowing the scope of problems, validating logic, and treating AI outputs with the same rigor as any engineering effort. AI's impact is most predictable and useful when applied to specific, well-bounded tasks with clear review processes.

    2025 SANS SOC Survey Reveals AI Integration Challenges

    The 2025 SANS SOC Survey highlights that 40% of SOCs use AI/ML tools without operational integration, and 42% rely on out-of-the-box solutions without customization. This lack of intentional integration leads to inconsistent and unreliable outcomes. The survey also reveals that 69% of SOCs still rely on manual or mostly manual processes for reporting metrics, indicating a significant gap in reporting performance. Effective AI integration requires narrowing the scope of problems, validating logic, and treating AI outputs with the same rigor as any engineering effort.
