Your SOC Won't Survive AI Attackers Without This Shift

Running a SOC was always hard. With AI in attackers' hands, hard becomes impossible, unless you change how you work. Rob Maas, Field CTO at ON2IT, sits down with Lieuwe Jan Koning, Co-founder & CTO at ON2IT, on why detection and response no longer buys you time. Open-source AI now finds a way into a portal in about 15 minutes, no pentester required. The fix is preemptive cybersecurity: prevention first, automated countermeasures, and a zero trust culture that turns your SOC from analyst-driven to software-driven, with the analyst still in the driver's seat.
