The cybersecurity landscape is shifting toward a ‘SOC 2.0’ model, which prioritizes automation and artificial intelligence to build organizational resilience. This evolution moves the Security Operations Center from a basic monitoring function to a strategic ‘immune system’ necessary for operational survival.

Economic indicators reflect the increasing importance of these systems. In Brazil, the average cost of a security incident rose to R$ 7.19 million in 2025, a 6.5% increase from the prior year. Globally, the average cost per occurrence is approximately USD 4.44 million. 

The SOC market is projected to grow from USD 47.27 billion in 2025 to USD 104.15 billion by 2035. Organizations that have integrated AI and automation into their operations have reported reducing incident lifecycles by 80 days.
