In-house SOC vs. MDR vs. MDR repatriation decision frameworks in the era of the AI SOC

The question of when to use Managed Detection and Response (MDR) versus building an in-house SOC has plagued security leaders for years. Now, AI is fundamentally rewriting the economics. In this comprehensive webinar, we will explore the traditional decision framework, how AI SOC platforms are changing the math, and when repatriation from MDR to in-house operations finally makes sense. Whether you're a startup evaluating your first SOC, a mid-market company questioning your MDR spend, or an enterprise considering bringing capabilities in-house, this session delivers the practical framework you need.
