THE AUTONOMOUS SOC
How Artificial Intelligence Is Reinventing Cyber DefenseBy Silver NsakaLength3h 51m
About this audiobook
In an era where cyberattacks launch in milliseconds and breach organizations in seconds, the traditional Security Operations Center is reaching the end of its operational viability. THE AUTONOMOUS SOC is the definitive guide to the AI-driven transformation that every security organization must undertake to survive the next decade of cyber warfare. Written by Silver Nsaka — cybersecurity strategist, AI architect, and founder of Kingdom AI Solutions — this book delivers a complete blueprint from the failing SOC of today to the autonomous, AI-driven cyber defense platform of tomorrow. WHAT YOU WILL LEARN: How machine learning, behavioral analytics, and graph-based detection replace static rules with systems that think and adapt. How LLMs and agentic AI systems transform analysts into strategic orchestrators of autonomous defense. How to architect a complete AI-SOC platform on AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud.
