Exaforce argues SOCs are letting AI act sooner than expected
Original title: I underestimated how fast security teams would trust AI to act in the SOC
The author cites Invisible Technologies cutting mean time to investigate by 95 percent after adopting Exaforce, and urges evidence-backed, bounded autonomy.
An Exaforce commentary argues security teams adopted AI in the SOC faster than expected because attackers are shortening the time from detection to impact. The author says teams usually start with AI that investigates, shows evidence, and recommends actions, then allow bounded autonomous response after a track record. Invisible Technologies is described as using Exaforce for 24/7 triage across fraud, corporate security, and production monitoring. The piece urges CISOs to check evidence, continuous correlation, and behavior when data is missing, and to treat known vulnerabilities and misconfigurations as live exposure.

For most of my career, I have watched new security platforms work through enterprise programs at a slow pace, so when AI began showing up in security operations tools, I assumed it would follow the same path.
