Security Operations Centers are drowning in alerts, burning out analysts, and falling further behind as adversaries automate at machine speed. In this SANS webcast on March 18, 2026 at 3:30 ET, SANS Senior Instructor Mathias Fuchs examines whether human-only security operations can realistically keep up in an era of AI-enabled attacks, shrinking budgets, and a widening cybersecurity workforce gap. Drawing on real-world SOC experience, this session confronts the hard math behind alert fatigue, response times, and the limits of traditional SIEM and SOAR workflows.
This webcast will also explore:
- Where AI truly adds value across the defense chain, from detection and investigation to response and proactive threat hunting, and where human judgment remains essential.
- How Tandem Trace’s hybrid human-AI framework pairs analysts with intelligent reasoning agents that accelerate investigations, surface high-confidence insights, and preserve human oversight for critical decisions.
- How this collaborative approach helps teams unlock actionable intelligence at scale, reduce burnout, and shift from reactive firefighting to predictive defense.
If you’re responsible for modernizing security operations and want a grounded, practical perspective beyond vendor hype, this webcast is for you.
