Abstract

This article explores the transformation of Security Operations Centers (SOCs) through the integration of artificial intelligence, highlighting the synergistic relationship between AI systems and human analysts in cybersecurity defense. The article examines the evolution of SOC operations, key components of AI-enhanced systems, and the critical role of human expertise in complex threat analysis. Through comprehensive analysis of enterprise implementations, the article demonstrates significant improvements in threat detection, response times, and resource utilization achieved through human-AI collaboration. The article also addresses implementation considerations, including technical infrastructure requirements, AI model management, and team structure, while providing best practices for successful deployment.
