Security leaders today operate in an environment of shortened cyberattack timelines, where aging defenses designed for slower, linear cyberthreats are no longer sufficient. AI-powered threat actors now use social engineering and malware that adapt in real time, allowing a single phishing message to escalate into a multidomain compromise within minutes. In many organizations, however, the bigger challenge lies closer to home: Years of accumulated technical debt inside the security operations center (SOC) and best-of-breed security investments have left many teams grappling with fragmented tools, each producing isolated insights that analysts must manually assemble. They are also struggling to close the skills gap and find the right expertise.
The new e-book, 'Unlocking Microsoft Defender: A guide to autonomous defense and expert-led security,' explores why this model has become unsustainable and how organizations can shift to a more integrated approach to modern defense. Implementing genuine SOC transformation is no easy task, and many organizations seek outside expertise to affect real change.
