The Rise of Service-as-Software: How Autonomy is Redefining Cybersecurity

**Overview:** The document introduces the “Service-as-Software” (SaSo) paradigm in cybersecurity, where autonomous AI agents and coordinated swarms automate tasks traditionally handled by human analysts. It outlines benefits such as scalability, efficiency, cost reduction, and consistent responses, with examples including autonomous SOC operations, automated penetration testing, and AI-driven remediation. The piece highlights Intezer’s Autonomous SOC for alert triage and Tier-1 task automation, positioning SaSo as a key shift that augments human oversight with fully automated defenses.
