As AI consumes technical tasks, what is left for SOC teams? [Recording]
AI increasingly picks up rote incident tasks across detection, triage, investigation, and response. As that shift accelerates, defensive skills change.
SOC managers face a new set of questions. Do humans in the loop still require deep technical skills? Which capabilities matter most as teams move from direct action to orchestration? And how do you measure readiness when the work itself looks different?
Join Matt Dobbs, David Etue, and Jordan Lamoreaux as they discuss the future of human SOC skills.

What we cover
What human SOC skills look like as AI takes on the technical work.
Segment 1
What AI changes today
The tasks already automated, the roles changing fastest, and an honest split of what is overhyped versus underhyped.
Segment 2
Do analysts still need deep technical skills?
The core discussion. Which skills matter when AI handles investigations, what happens to junior roles, and which human decisions stay irreplaceable.
Segment 3
Measuring readiness in an AI world
How to know a team is prepared, whether certifications go far enough, and how to assess orchestration and decision-making.
Who you hear from
A Cyberbit panel joined by SOC and technology leaders who already run on readiness.

What you take away
Leave with a clear view of where human SOC skills are heading, and what to build now.
01
A real read on AI
Separate genuine automation from hype across detection, triage, investigation, and response.
02
The skills that still matter
See which human capabilities stay irreplaceable as teams shift from direct action to orchestration.
03
Readiness over raw skill
Incident response moves from individual cyber skills toward team readiness. Understand what that means for programs and hiring.
04
A way to measure it
Practical approaches to assessing orchestration and decision-making, not just certification counts.
05
Lessons from the field
A SOC leader who already practices readiness shares what holds up under pressure.
06
Skills to start now
One capability every security professional develops for the AI era, straight from the panel.
