As 2027 budgets and platform plans take shape, you’re deciding what your SOC will see, which exposures it will prioritize, and how much authority AI will have. This guide helps you make those calls while there’s still room to change the plan.

WHAT’S INSIDE

Set AI limits, prioritize attack paths, and prove critical controls work

This Guide helps you:

• Set limits on what AI agents can access and do, including where a person must approve the action.
• Prioritize exposures using reachability, threat activity, and business impact rather than vulnerability counts alone.
• Measure detection coverage, telemetry, and response before and after tool consolidation.
• Identify the vendors, software dependencies, and AI-enabled services that could become your incident.
• Prove that critical security and AI controls are working today.
• Define which SOC tasks AI may complete, which it may recommend, and which people must lead.

PRACTICAL TAKEAWAYS

Use an exposure comparison, consolidation scorecard, and SOC decision matrix

The guide includes an exposure comparison, a before-and-after consolidation scorecard, a SOC decision-rights matrix, and a 2027 readiness worksheet. Bring them to your next planning meeting to identify gaps, name owners, and decide what to change before the plan is final.

Make the calls that will shape your 2027 security program.

Download the guide and use the readiness worksheet to turn open questions into decisions with owners and next steps.
