## Resource

As AI models grow more capable by an order of magnitude each year, a new category of SOC automation vendors is replacing manual alert triage with autonomous, around-the-clock detection and response -- and the numbers suggest adoption is already well underway. In this conversation, Richard Stiennon, Chief Research Analyst at IT-Harvest, shares what his research reveals about the pace of change and what security leaders need to consider before the window for competitive advantage closes.
