As AI-infused SecOps solutions strive to change the operating dynamics of modern security operations, security practitioners are confronted with both opportunity and challenges in how and where to assimilate this powerful new technology. With the promise of significant improvement to security outcomes, coverage, and the efficiency of SecOps, practitioners must ultimately adopt, learn, and transform established practices to reap the benefits of an AI-powered operating environment—all while under pressure to continue to secure and govern their attack surface against an AI-enabled adversary.
To gain further insight into these trends, Google commissioned Omdia to execute a survey of 300 security practitioners and SOC managers at organizations involved with or responsible for the use of AI-enabled technologies within security operations.
This study sought to:
Assess SecOps teams’ adoption of agentic AI technologies.
Understand how security practitioners view agentic AI and how they educate themselves about agentic innovations.
Measure perceived early wins being delivered by agentic AI within SecOps teams and the teams’ expectations for the future.
