Tier 1, Tier 2, Tier 3 — the hierarchy every SOC grew up with. But as AI takes over triage and investigation, does that model still make sense? In this interview, Ahmed Achchak talks with Rob van Os, Strategic SOC Advisor and creator of the SOC-CMM framework — one of the most widely adopted models for assessing and improving SOC maturity worldwide. Together, they unpack whether modern AI-driven operations make the tiered model obsolete, how skills-based SOCs are emerging, and what this shift means for talent, economics, and trust in AI-assisted decisions.

While security teams drown in false positive alerts, the real threats slip through undetected. Shane Shook, venture partner at Forgepoint Capital with 30+ years in cybersecurity, explains why the industry's obsession with reducing false positives is creating dangerous blind spots, and how AI can finally solve the false negative problem.

Security leaders are increasingly asked whether LLMs can be trusted inside the SOC. The real challenge isn’t speed or cost, it’s variability. Same alert. Same inputs. Yet the investigation path changes, steps are skipped, and conclusions don’t always align. Our research breaks down the results of a large-scale experiment (18,000 investigations) that reveals the limits of stochastic intelligence in security operations, and why trust in AI for the SOC must start with reproducibility, not probability.
