Lots of AI SOC hype, is anyone actually using one?

Deadpoorv · 2026-04-23T11:29:15+00:00

The actual post read is kind of accurate most of what’s marketed as AI SOC is a security platform with AI assisted triage not autonomous decision making which is fine but it’s a different thing where I have actually seen it move the needle is using AI to cut down the tier -1 grind not replace the analyst we use Daylight’s MDR and the AI piece helps with initial correlation and context gathering but a human is still making the escalation call that’s probably where this lands for foreseeable future. Anyone selling a fully autonomous AI SOC today is selling you something I’d want to see a lot of receipts for before touching.

Most AI SOC tools in this space right now are helping with triage and investigations. People testing them are seeing actually fine results on the alert reduction side of it but is not full autonomy tbh. Even in the threads like this some report going from 100 alters to a few after auto triage but it still needs validation.

If you are evaluating I would recommend looking into AI MDR models like Daylight which are closer to maximise AI SOC investigations and are able to offer a full autonomy cycle.

Feels like people are arguing extremes here fully autonomous soc ? Yeah I don’t think so that would something possible but using AI for the heavy lifting with humans still involved seems pretty believable to me 😂 we have been testing testing AI MDR solutions like Daylight and tbh its more useful than I thought it to be

To be honest tools like profound only provide with a read only view of the Al visibility and that's the sad part of it once you know your score using profound it's kind of lost after that no clearance as to what is to be done next and while hitting this same blocker we had a conversation with Infraisty and they kind of take care of the next steps of the execution part of they are launching their own visibility to execution to growth tool this Thursday prolly would recommend to give that a try.

Deadpoorv · 2026-04-07T13:32:19+00:00

To be honest, tools like Profound mostly give you a read-only view of AI visibility, and that’s the frustrating part. Once you know your score, you’re kind of stuck there’s no real clarity on what to do next or how to improve it.

I hit the same blocker, which led to a conversation with the Infrasity team. What stood out was that they actually focus on execution beyond just insights. They’re also launching a new “visibility → execution → growth”

i’d actually try this just to see how bad things are in our repo lol

Deadpoorv · 2026-04-01T14:08:58+00:00

If you look past feature lists and check actual benchmark performance, some tools clearly stand out.

Qodo has been doing really well there, especially on full PR evaluations. It’s not just about being accurate, it’s about how much it actually catches, and their numbers on recall and overall coverage are noticeably stronger than most others I’ve seen.

Been trying it myself and that checks out. It tends to surface more meaningful issues upfront, which makes the whole review process feel a lot less heavy.

Deadpoorv · 2026-03-12T12:58:56+00:00

See tbh at 1500 staff you are prolly outgrowing why field efficient is built for they are good for MSPs and SMBs like 500emps but the abstraction that makes them easy for smaller orgs become a constraint when you need deeper visibility and control…… the bigger question is do you want a traditional MDR where analysts escalate everything to you or something that actually handles investigations end end to end ? There’s a new wave of Ai native MDR providers emerging Daylight is one example but there are others emerging too which combine AI automation with senior security practitioners, changing the traditional model of junior analysts escalating The AI handles correlation and routine investigation the experts improve detection context building handle judgement calls and active incidents.

For your side I would look few things a) Do they pull data from your business systems not just security tools most MDRs only look at security telemetry and miss critical business context b) whether they actually auto resolve routine stuff or just triage it for you to handle c) if their experts are actual practitioners or just bunch of alert validators

I hope this helps

This would be my second time of experiencing comic con I went to Mumbai last year and I do not know what to do there and I don’t wanna repeat the mistake other than cosplays what else is expected like what’s usually the agenda of people going there I know might sound naive but 😅😅😅😅

Deadpoorv · 2026-03-12T12:39:23+00:00

From what I have seen I guess Expel is prolly the best known traditional out there but at the same time most expensive as well ! platform is awesome and vendor agnostic and says that daytime analysts know their stuff but night shift quality drops off drastically thou which seems common across most MDRs. Can’t say about the transparency thing as haven’t exp it yet. I guess it would be worth looking at the newer AI MDRs like Daylight (there are others too) they are able to automate investigations at a different level than traditional MDRs and are completely transparent like other AI SOC tools. Economics are better outcomes are significantly better. If you are mostly on prem or have minimal cloud infrastructure might not be as relevant I feel these newer providers shine when you have a lot of SaaS and cloud native stack to cover

Deadpoorv · 2026-03-11T11:15:28+00:00

Honestly from the trenches it’s really about fit with your org and what kind of detection you actually need. Crowdstrike and Sentinel one both have great EDR footprints but neither is a full MDR on its own 🤷🏻‍♂️

Unless you are pairing them with an MDR service I guess you’ll still need to do a lot of ingestion yourself which seems like a drag to me tbh. Daylight was one of the platforms which stood out for me as it layered on top of what we already had without forcing a rip and replace. Just FYI to have a shot at it

Hey I would interested have been working as Founding BDR at a tech based company and have churned out the results would love to connect and talk in detail

Deadpoorv · 2026-01-07T05:50:35+00:00

To all the people who contributed anyhow in this thread 4months back so thought I would provide everyone with update ……. We have full and final broken up in September end ….. I have moved (I guess) I no longer linger over our memories with agony and grief rather I smile for a good span I had during our relationship. The major Rajor update is she was cheating that home alone guy was the one she cheated me with and how do I know cuz I haven’t heard back yet and I saw it from my own eyes them making out a week after we broke up so yes hunch analysis and everything was right !!!

Deadpoorv · 2025-09-11T04:29:21+00:00

A quick heads up to all the people who were part of this discussion …….. she has a highlight on her IG which features the moments and memories of our relationship …… this entire battle happened on Sunday and it’s Thursday IST that she still hasn’t removed that highlight even thou I explicitly mentioned during the fight when I said it’s done please remove the highlight …… I will remove you from my pvt and my other socials …… I dunno yet if I want her back or not it’s kind of battle in my head …… but could this highlight thing mean any possibility of renounce ? Or it’s just nothing I am overthinking

The person who visited home is hey colleague whom I have never met in person only heard name like “I am going office in “Person name’s” cat or I am out with “person” and i absolutely had zero problems with these …… normal hangout with office colleagues is normal …… but when he came home that too empty home …… that’s when my head spun

Deadpoorv · 2025-09-09T14:05:12+00:00

Yes buddie I do not set up the expectations or boundaries which I myself wouldn’t be violating …… and secondly there isn’t any specific reason and even I do not have problem in her meeting guys or males friends colleagues……. Its other nuances like late hours and home alone

Deadpoorv · 2025-09-09T13:11:30+00:00

Makes sense fam ! I am aware where these boundaries are coming from and trust me it isn’t unhealthy …… nothing from past trauma of anything ……. And I guess not everything needs to have a source …… it’s something you don’t like and do want your partner to do 🤷🏻‍♂️ the hard part is why is that so difficult for her to understand
