How the Mythos Era Is Reshaping the Future of the SOC

Security operations centres have always been a numbers game with too many alerts, few analysts, and never enough hours in a shift. But something has changed. The arrival of AI models capable of identifying vulnerabilities and generating working exploits at machine speed has quietly shifted the terms of engagement between attackers and defenders. In this episode of the Security Strategist podcast, Richard Stiennon sits down with Edward Wu, founder and CEO of Dropzone AI, to unpack what the Mythos era actually means for the SOC and what defenders need to do about it right now.
