For years, we talked about AI in the SOC the way we talked about self-driving cars: always five years away, always needing “just a bit more data.” Then MCP (Model Context Protocol) happened. Then agentic frameworks stopped being demos and started being tools. And suddenly the question wasn’t “can AI help security teams?” but “what should we let it do first?“ Read Full Article

Just after the turn of the century, IBM introduced the term, ‘autonomic IT.” At the time, IBM’s perspective was that IT applications, networks, and systems had become too complex for humans to manage, monitor, or secure. IBM presented its autonomic IT concept, with a vision of IT systems that could manage themselves with advanced capabilities for self-configuration, self-optimization, self-healing, and self-protection – a future of autonomy, efficiency, and IT harmony on the horizon.
