Incident Response Automation: A CISO's Guide for 2026

Your SOC probably looks busy on paper and brittle in practice. Alerts land from email, endpoints, cloud workloads, identity providers, firewalls, and ticketing systems. Analysts swivel between consoles, copy indicators into chat, open cases by hand, and race to decide which events deserve containment and which ones are just noise. That model doesn't break because people are careless. It breaks because the volume, speed, and interdependence of modern environments outgrew manual response a long time ago.

Cato CTRL Insights: Governing Hermes Agent, Security for AI That Learns, Remembers, and Acts

Agentic AI is evolving from assistants that answer questions into systems that can remember, use tools, call APIs, interact with SaaS applications, and improve over time. Hermes Agent, developed by Nous Research, reflects this shift as a self-improving agent that can create skills, persist knowledge, and build context across sessions., reflects this shift as a self-improving agent that can create skills, persist knowledge, and build context across sessions.

Autonomous Pentesting vs. Red Teaming: Do You Still Need Both?

Security teams are spending more money than ever on offensive security, and getting less clarity than ever on what it buys using them. For a long time, the central debate was pentesting vs red teaming. That argument settled itself once buyers understood that the two serve different objectives. Now it’s slipping again due to autonomous pentesting vs red teaming.

Stop Orchestrating Around Bad Detections

Security operations teams are drowning in telemetry. Rule-based detections still do the heavy lifting, but they often force you to choose between high noise and blind spots, especially when adversaries live off the land and blend into legitimate activity. Over the past year at BlueVoyant, we’ve been testing and deploying Microsoft’s User and Entity Behavioral Analytics (UEBA) capabilities across our customer base, and the results have been eye-opening.
