Cybersecurity Field Guide #15 Agentic Security Operations: A Pathway to SOC Modernization As cyber threats become faster, more automated and increasingly identity-driven, traditional security operations centers (SOCs) can’t keep up with today’s velocity and complexity. This field guide from Optiv and Google Cloud explores how a modern approach to security operations accelerates SOC modernization and strengthens cyber resilience. Image Get Your Agentic Security Operations Field Guide Created in Collaboration with Image What You’ll Learn About SOC Modernization SOCs sit on the front line of cyber defense, yet many were designed for a different threat landscape. Without modernization, SOCs face widening detection gaps, alert fatigue and limited ability to respond at machine speed. This guide explores how people, processes, technology, data, automation and AI come together in a modern security operations model. Why Not All Security Operations Services Are Equal On the surface, many security operations and detection and response offerings look similar. In reality, they differ dramatically in their architecture, operating models, transparency and ability to deliver meaningful security outcomes. Learn what to consider across: AI and automation maturity Human expertise and operating model Detection engineering Data architecture and engineering Actionable threat intelligence Open integration and interoperability Transparency and client access Customization based on business context How to Rethink Security Operations Modern SecOps requires a shift from traditional, tool-centric thinking toward an intelligence-driven, AI-enabled operating model. To modernize effectively, organizations must embrace four core principles that reshape how detection and response is delivered: 1. Activate detection and response with AI, SOAR and actionable threat intelligence2. Prioritize context-rich insights instead of drowning in raw data3. Build every capability on a security-first architecture designed for resilience4. Proactively identify and address cloud risk before attackers can exploit it This guide details how these principles inform Optiv Agentic Security Operations (ASO), a broader, AI-powered security operations model with MDR at its core. Optiv ASO brings together agentic AI, automation, connected security technologies and Optiv practitioner expertise to reduce manual effort and accelerate investigation and response. 46% of respondents say their organizations use AI/ML to prevent cyberattacks Image Agentic AI is reshaping cybersecurity operations. Now is the time to rethink what modern detection and response should look like. Access the Field Guide Above
