Phishing for Needles: SOC Challenges in the Age of AI-Powered Attacks

Explore how AI-native defenses ease the SOC burden, cutting through noise to stop advanced email threats that legacy tools miss.

Key Insights

AI is driving a sharp increase in email-based attacks, raising the volume of threats SOC analysts must investigate.

Legacy tools like SEGs add complexity and labor to detection rather than simplifying SOC workflows.

A significant portion of analyst time is consumed distinguishing genuine email threats from noise in high-volume alert environments.

AI-native defenses are positioned to reduce SOC investigative burden against advanced email threats.

The SOC isn’t all rapid response and heroic saves. More often, it’s long hours of painstaking investigation and endless alerts.

Much of analyst time is spent looking for needles in a haystack, trying to determine which suspicious emails pose genuine risks and which are just noise.

With insights from a veteran Abnormal Field CISO, this session examines why email-based attacks are escalating, where legacy tools add complexity instead of clarity, and what AI-native approaches can do to lighten the SOC investigative load.

Watch this on-demand webinar to learn:

  • Why AI is driving a sharp increase in email-based attacks

  • How legacy tools like SEGs make detection more complex and labor-intensive

  • How AI-native defenses reduce SOC burden and stop today’s most advanced email threats
