Artificial intelligence (AI) - News

As artificial intelligence, geopolitical tensions and emerging quantum computing capabilities reshape the global cyber threat landscape, organizations are rethinking how they protect critical infrastructure, safeguard digital assets and prepare for the emerging cyber risks. GISEC Global 2026, the biggest and most influential cybersecurity event in the MENA, organized by inD, will bring together governments, critical infrastructure operators, technology innovators and cybersecurity leaders at Du...

The pace of technological progress is best described as relentless. Cyber attacks have evolved from opportunistic strikes into highly automated, intelligent campaigns that move at faster than ever. Traditional security operations centres, built for a slower and more predictable threat landscape, are struggling to keep up. This is where the AI-native Security Operations Centre (SOC) enters the scene, not as a luxury, but as a necessity. An AI-native SOC reimagines security operations from the gr...

Security operations centres of the past were pictured as quiet control room filled with blinking dashboards with constant surveillance from human analysts. Today, cyber security teams utilize high-speed decision engines; constantly interpreting signals, filtering noise, and responding to threats that evolve by the minute. In this environment, terms like AI SOC, SIEM, and SOAR are often used interchangeably, yet each plays a distinct role. In this article, users will learn what sets these three...

Cyber threats are evolving at a pace that bewilder even seasoned security analysts. Attackers used to be easy to detect; with their reliance on phishing emails riddled with spelling mistakes or predictable malware signatures. Today’s threat actors are harnessing artificial intelligence to automate reconnaissance, generate convincing social engineering campaigns, evade detection, and adapt their attacks in real time. Against this backdrop, many traditional Security Operations Centre, or SOC...

Cybersecurity teams face a difficult reality. Organizations are collecting more security data than ever before, yet many still struggle to detect threats quickly, respond efficiently, or keep pace with increasingly sophisticated attacks. Traditional Security Operations Centre (SOC), once considered the backbone of enterprise defense, are under pressure from alert overload, analyst burnout, and attackers who now use automation and artificial intelligence themselves. As a result, AI-driven SOC is...

Cybersecurity teams are experiencing a shift in their scope of work. Attack surfaces are expanding, threat actors are becoming more sophisticated, and the speed of modern attacks is outpacing traditional security operations. At the same time, organizations are facing off a spike in alerts, struggling with analyst burnout, and dealing with an ongoing shortage of skilled cybersecurity professionals. Against this backdrop, Artificial Intelligence has emerged as one of the most transformative techn...

Security Operations Centres (SOC) are evolving at a remarkable pace. What once relied heavily on manual investigation and rule-based monitoring is now increasingly powered by artificial intelligence, machine learning, and automation. As cyber threats grow faster, more evasive, and more sophisticated, organizations are under pressure to modernise their SOC capabilities without sacrificing visibility, compliance, or operational control. For Chief Information Security Officers, choosing the right...

Cybersecurity operations are undergoing a remarkable transformation. For years, Security Operations Centres (SOC) have relied on skilled analysts, rule-based detection systems, and increasingly sophisticated automation to protect organizations from cyber threats. Today, the next evolution is already taking shape: the Autonomous SOC. In this article, users will learn what an Autonomous SOC is, how it differs from traditional and AI-assisted SOC models, why organizations are increasingly turning...

Pressure is increasing on modern Security Operations Centre (SOC). Cyber threats are growing in volume, sophistication, and speed, while security teams face increasing workloads, talent shortages, and alert fatigue. Many SOC analysts spend a significant portion of their day investigating alerts that ultimately turn out to be false positives, leaving less time to focus on genuine threats. Artificial intelligence (AI) is helping organizations address this challenge by transforming one of the most...

Artificial intelligence is transforming the global cybersecurity landscape, strengthening cyber defences while simultaneously enabling faster, more sophisticated attacks. According to the World Economic Forum's Global Cybersecurity Outlook 2026, 94% of organizations expect AI to be the biggest driver of cybersecurity change over the coming year, while 87% identify AI-related vulnerabilities as the fastest-growing cyber risk. Against this backdrop, GISEC Global 2026, organized by inD, a joint ve...

To meet the challenge of detecting, investigating and responding to increasingly quick threats, organizations are investing in advanced security technologies that can strengthen their security operations and improve resilience against cyber attacks. Two technologies that are often discussed together are Extended Detection and Response (XDR) and AI-powered Security Operations Centres (AI SOCs). While both play critical roles in modern cyber defense, they serve different purposes and deliver valu...

Cyber threats are becoming faster, more sophisticated, and increasingly difficult for traditional Security Operations Centres (SOC) to manage. Security teams face growing alert volumes, evolving attack techniques, and a persistent shortage of skilled cyber security professionals. To address these challenges, organizations are turning to Artificial Intelligence (AI) powered SOC that can automate many aspects of security operations. However, not all AI SOC are created equal. While some simply ass...

Attackers are using automation, artificial intelligence, and increasingly sophisticated techniques to evade traditional security controls, turning malicious actors into a moving target for security teams. In this environment, organizations can no longer rely solely on reactive security measures that respond to threats after they have already caused damage. Instead, they need proactive security operations that actively search for hidden threats before they escalate into major incidents. This is...

Every day, organizations receive thousands of alerts from multiple security tools, alongside a large volume of threat intelligence from commercial feeds, open-source platforms, industry reports, and internal monitoring systems. Turning this information into meaningful security decisions is one of the biggest challenges today's Security Operations Centres (SOCs) face. Artificial intelligence (AI) is changing the way organizations analyze threat intelligence. Rather than simply collecting more da...

Traditional security tools generate enormous volumes of alerts, making it increasingly difficult for Security Operations Centre (SOC) teams to distinguish genuine threats from harmless activity. As organizations face growing attack surfaces and increasingly complex IT environments, effective threat detection has become one of the most important capabilities in modern cyber security. Detection engineering has emerged as a critical discipline that enables organizations to identify malicious activ...

Cyber threats are becoming faster, more sophisticated, and increasingly difficult to detect using traditional security operations alone. As organizations adopt AI-powered Security Operations Centre (AI SOC), measuring success requires more than simply counting alerts or incidents. The real value of an AI SOC lies in how effectively it improves detection, accelerates response, enhances analyst productivity, and strengthens business resilience. In this article, you will learn which AI SOC metrics...
