AI is reshaping both offensive and defensive cybersecurity. Generic threats grew 15.5% in 2025 as adversaries use LLMs to generate malware with minimal effort. Security analysts can counter this by leveraging AI for behavioral analytics, anomaly detection, automated alert triage, and threat intelligence. Best practices for SOC integration include auditing existing tools, mapping high-volume tasks for automation, ensuring data quality, using InfoSec-compliant LLMs, and keeping humans in the loop for critical decisions. Elastic Security is presented as a platform that embeds these AI capabilities into SOC workflows.
