Rethinking MDR as Attackers and Defenders Embrace AI

Traditional managed detection and response (MDR) services, which emerged to address security staffing shortages and 24/7 monitoring challenges, are becoming inadequate as attackers increasingly leverage AI to accelerate and scale their operations. The MDR model that worked effectively for the past decade is struggling to adapt to the rapidly evolving threat landscape where AI-powered attacks move

AI Phishing Is Crushing SOCs with Alert Volume: How to Reduce Tier 1 Overload

AI-powered phishing campaigns are generating unprecedented volumes of sophisticated attacks, overwhelming Security Operations Center (SOC) Tier 1 analysts with alert fatigue. Attackers leverage AI to rapidly produce convincing phishing emails and fake login pages at scale, creating massive review queues that increase the risk of critical threats slipping through undetected. Organizations must adop
