Agentic SOC: Machine Speed vs. Human Liability| #DTF043

The hackers are already moving at light speed. If you’re still waiting for a human to click "Approve," you’ve already lost the company. But if your autonomous AI nukes a production server during a board meeting, who stands in front of the regulators?

In Episode 43, the DTF crew dives into the massive 2026 shift from automated playbooks to Agentic AI. Damian argues that traditional SOAR is dead, Troy warns of the audit trail of a ghost, and Fern wonders if we’re all just vibe coding our way into an existential crisis.In this episode, we cover:

- Why Human-in-the-loop is becoming a security vulnerability.

- The difference between automation (scripts) and agency (reasoning).

- How to govern a fleet of "Digital Interns" without losing control.

- Why this technology might finally let you fire your underperforming MSP.
