Unify now or pay later: New research exposes the operational cost of a fragmented SOC

This report outlines five key pressures straining modern SOCs—tool and data fragmentation, manual toil, alert overload, operational gaps, and detection bias—based on a Microsoft/Omdia survey, and recommends unifying tools and signals, automating repetitive tasks, and leveraging governable AI with identity and endpoint as a unified control plane to improve detection, triage, and resilience.
