What an Autonomous SOC Means for Security Analysts

What an Autonomous SOC Means for Security Analysts

You became a security analyst to stop threats. Instead, your day is dominated by endless alerts: copying indicators, chasing false positives and watching real attacks progress while buried in noise.

This isn't security work. It's data entry with anxiety.

This paper explains the necessary shift from reactive triage to proactive defense through agentic AI and autonomous security operations.

Download this paper to learn:

  • The risk of the "Copilot Trap" and why it won't solve your core challenges.
  • The fundamental shift in daily reality from triaging thousands of alerts to investigating a few real incidents.
  • The evolution of your role from "ticket processor" to a security architect and threat researcher.
  • The core shifts in practitioner skills, including vulnerability management and proactive threat hunting.
  • The practical guide for moving to an autonomous SOC using Cortex XSIAM, the system built to prioritize security results

Stop the triage grind and do the security work you actually signed up for.
