Contact UsAgentic AI is changing security operations faster than most SOC teams can adapt. Automation promised to lift the alert burden, but for many organizations it simply changed the shape of the workload, trading manual triage for new questions about how much autonomy to hand an AI agent in production. This whitepaper outlines new survey data on how security teams are responding to this shift, from detecting agentic threats like prompt injection and non-human identity compromise to the barriers still stalling SOC autonomy.
AI agents are moving from the whiteboard to the SOC floor — and security teams are figuring out the rules as they go. In this webcast, SANS instructor Dave Shackleford and a Palo Alto Networks expert share fresh survey data from practitioners navigating the shift from static automation to autonomous AI operations. What threats are keeping defenders up at night?
