AI-powered SOC platforms are revolutionizing cybersecurity by dramatically reducing false positives and enabling analysts to focus on high-value security work. In this episode of Data Security Decoded, join Caleb Tolin as he sits down with Grant Oviatt, Head of Security Operations at Prophet Security, to explore how AI agents are transforming security operations centers (SOCs) and reshaping the future of cyber defense.

Corelight CEO Brian Dye shares the high-stakes story of a customer under a $10 million ransomware attack. The attackers claimed to have stolen sensitive IP—but with Corelight, the customer had the network visibility to verify exactly what was taken. The result? They confirmed the stolen data was limited and non-critical, enabling them to confidently deny the ransom demand. This powerful story illustrates the difference between “I think” and “I know”—and how that clarity can drive executive confidence, legal defensibility, and real-world savings.

AI agents are revolutionizing cybersecurity by handling the tedious false positive alerts that drain SOC analysts. As our security perimeter expands to the cloud, we're drowning in red blinking lights - but AI agents never tire and never sleep! Grant Oviatt from Prophet Security explains how AI is solving the alert fatigue problem that's plaguing security teams worldwide. Key Points: AI agents handle repetitive security tasks False positive alerts are overwhelming analysts Cloud expansion = more security alerts AI works 24/7 without fatigue.
