The global cybersecurity workforce shortage, with 3.5 million vacancies, poses a critical risk to businesses. Security teams are overworked and understaffed, unable to keep up with the growing complexity of threats. AI emerges as a solution, enhancing the efficiency of Security Operations Centers (SOCs) by automating repetitive tasks, providing contextual insights, and reducing human error. Cisco's AI-driven XDR platform streamlines operations, enabling SOC analysts to focus on strategic initiatives and improve overall security outcomes. This approach helps future-proof organizations by bolstering their defense capabilities amid the skills shortage.
