MDR Is Obsolete: Why Move to an AI‑SOC in the Era of AI‑Enhanced Attacks

Colleagues, I want to highlight a cybersecurity development: traditional MDR is falling behind AI‑driven attacks.

- AI scales phishing, evades EDR and expands the attack surface (endpoints, cloud, identities). Intezer’s analysis of 25 million alerts shows dozens of real incidents remain queued each year.
- MDR: inconsistent investigations, black‑box processes, vendor‑locked knowledge, and AI gains retained by providers.
- AI‑SOC: automated forensic investigation of all alerts, closed‑loop feedback into detection engineering, and customer ownership of rules.

Why it matters: without full coverage, attacks will keep slipping through low‑priority alerts.

How ready is your SOC to adopt an AI‑SOC model?
