Cybersecurity SOC 2.0 focuses on automation and resilience

The evolution of the Security Operations Center (SOC) toward a 'SOC 2.0' model emphasizes automation and artificial intelligence to enhance cyber resilience. As organizational boundaries shift, the SOC has transitioned from a simple monitoring center to a strategic immune system essential for operational survival.

Economic data highlights the rising stakes of cybersecurity. In Brazil, the average cost of a security incident reached R$ 7.19 million in 2025, a 6.5% increase from the previous year. Globally, the average cost per occurrence is approximately USD 4.44 million.

The SOC market is experiencing significant growth, valued at USD 47.27 billion in 2025 and projected to reach USD 104.15 billion by 2035, representing a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.22%. Organizations integrating AI and automation into their SOC operations have reported reducing incident lifecycles by 80 days.
