  • “10X SOC” sounds great.  But for an organization stuck in "SIEM 1.0" with poor data quality and manual workflows, is “AI-native MDR” a "leapfrog" opportunity or a recipe for disaster?

  • We’ve seen the rise of "Decoupled SIEM" and security data lakes. Does a "Modern SIEM" even need to exist if an MDR platform has an agentic layer doing the heavy lifting? 

  • You’ve argued for AI-native over AI-bolted-on. For an end user, what are the tangible differences of using "AI inside a legacy SIEM" versus using an "AI-native separate product"?

  • What is the one task you thought AI would handle by now that still requires a senior human analyst to step in?

  • If a CISO is using an AI MDR, "Mean Time to Detect" (MTTD) starts to look like a vanity metric because the machine is instant. What is the new golden metric for an AI-powered SOC? Is it "Time to Context," "Reduction in Human Toil," or something else?

  • How do you help a skeptical SOC Manager—who has been burned by false positives for a decade—trust an autonomous agent to perform a "containment" action at 3:00 AM?
