The post outlines four ways AI-driven defense reshapes the SOC: shifting from reactive patching to proactive ML-based prevention, closing the 'agentic blind spot' created by AI assistants and automated workflows, using machine learning to stitch alerts into coherent attack storylines (reducing noise by up to 98%), and enabling autonomous response that handles up to 99% of incidents without manual intervention. Palo Alto Networks' Cortex XDR and Koi Security are presented as the platforms delivering these capabilities. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
