The AI in the SOC Playbook is designed to help you introduce, assess and scale AI across your security operations. Whether you lead a Security Operations Centre, a detection and response team or a wider security function, the principles in this playbook are intended to support practical decision making rather than vendor selection or technical instruction.
It’s a working playbook designed to be used in planning sessions, capability reviews and team discussions. You’ll find practical frameworks and checklists to help you assess where you are today, identify where AI can genuinely help and prioritise the actions that will have the greatest impact. It’s built around the AI SOC Framework, a practical model covering the five areas that decide whether AI strengthens or weakens your security operations:
- People
- Use Cases
- Operations & Governance
- Integration
- Capability Development
Each section introduces a topic, explains why it matters and provides practical tools you can use with your team. As you work through the playbook, you’ll capture key actions that feed into your AI in the SOC Roadmap, a practical plan for the next 90 days and beyond.
