Security vendors promise “intelligent” and “autonomous” SOCs.
You’re responsible for what actually happens when something goes wrong.
If you lead or influence security operations—as a CISO, SOC manager, MSSP leader, security architect, or senior practitioner—you are caught between:
-
Constant alert overload and limited staffing
-
Complex, hybrid environments with gaps in telemetry and process
-
Boards and regulators asking what AI is doing inside critical security functions
You can’t ignore AI and automation. But you also can’t afford to deploy them blindly.
Augmented Security Operations is a practical guide for cybersecurity leaders who want to use AI and automation to enhance security operations—without losing control of risk, transparency and trust.
This book helps you:
-
Understand what AI can realistically do in triage, investigations, threat hunting, CTI and reporting—today, not in theory.
-
Apply a clear autonomy model for automation:
-
Level 0 – Suggest-only
-
Level 1 – Human-in-the-loop
-
Level 2 – Narrow, conditional autonomy
-
-
Design and enforce guardrails: preconditions, rate limits, kill switches, rollback plans and logging that keep automation safe and auditable.
-
Get your data and telemetry into a shape where AI adds value instead of amplifying noise—identity, endpoint, cloud, network and context.
-
Embed AI into existing workflows and tools, instead of creating yet another disconnected “AI console.”
-
Measure time savings, quality improvements and risk reduction with metrics that boards, customers and regulators will respect.
-
Recognize and avoid common anti-patterns: “AI first, data later”, “big bang automation”, “magic box vendors” and “shadow AI”.
You’ll also find:
-
A pragmatic 90-day, 1-year and 3-year roadmap for evolving from manual to augmented security operations
-
Role-aware guidance for analysts, engineers, SOC managers, CISOs, MSSP leaders, CTI and risk
-
Appendices packed with checklists, design canvases, runbook templates, policy snippets, RFP questions, hands-on labs, maturity checklists and planning worksheets
This is not a book about replacing analysts with AI or chasing hype.
It is a book about building guardrailed, data-driven, AI-enabled security operations where:
-
AI and automation handle the repetitive, noisy work
-
Humans focus on judgment, context and high-impact decisions
-
Leadership can explain—and defend—how AI is used in the SOC
Whether you run a global 24×7 SOC, a regional MSSP, or a “SOC of few” in a mid-sized enterprise, Augmented Security Operations will show you how to turn AI and automation from marketing slogans into a controlled, measurable part of your operating model.
