Sumo Logic says it has a way out. **[The New Stack](https://daily.dev/sources/newstack)** · 5 min read · 0 upvotes · 0 comments ## Summary Security Operations Centers (SOCs) are drowning in alerts, and simply logging more data makes the problem worse. Chas Clawson, VP of Security Strategy at Sumo Logic, outlines a 'funnel of fidelity' approach: collect broadly but strip noise progressively so analysts only see actionable, high-fidelity alerts. Key strategies include entity-centric detection (grouping alerts by user, host, or IP rather than triaging each event individually), tiered data storage to balance cost and AI-readiness, and a hybrid model where deterministic rules handle real-time alerting while AI agents reason over the cleaner signal set afterward. Sumo Logic's Dojo.ai platform emphasizes auditable, explainable agent actions because SOC teams rejected black-box automation. Non-human identities and AI agents themselves are flagged as emerging attack surfaces. The overarching message: SOCs need an AI strategy now or risk obsolescence. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
