Скачать или смотреть You Can’t Slap AI on a Broken SOC. Anton Chuvakin Tells the Truth

AI is not a shortcut. If your SOC is running on tribal knowledge, brittle workflows, or unclear ownership, AI will not save it. It will break it faster. In this ClearTech Loop episode, Jo Peterson talks with Dr. Anton Chuvakin of Google Cloud’s Office of the CISO about the real meaning of AI readiness and why so many organizations are trying to automate dysfunction.

Anton spent years at Gartner shaping the detection and response landscape and is widely recognized as one of the most influential voices in modern SOC strategy. Today he works with global enterprises on secure AI adoption. His view is simple. AI accelerates what already exists. If your foundations are weak, AI will expose that immediately.

This conversation covers the five pillars every SOC must have before AI can add value, the rise of shadow AI in the enterprise, and why governance must move at the pace of experimentation instead of the pace of bureaucracy.

If you want the no nonsense truth about AI in the SOC from someone who has lived every stage of its evolution, this is an episode you cannot miss.
