Rethinking the SOC for today’s threat landscape

Why this whitepaper matters

Get a quick feel for what’s inside:

• Why many SOC teams are shifting to a platform-driven model using Palo Alto Cortex.
• How Nomios builds a clear, risk-based SOC roadmap instead of a black-box service.
• Real-world results, including major reductions in alert noise and faster investigation times.

For readers who want more context before downloading:

Many SOC teams are stuck juggling legacy tooling, rising alert volumes, and a threat landscape that shifts faster every month. A recent study shows that 40% of organisations see attacks accelerating and exposure increasing. No surprise that many are now looking for a clearer, more scalable SOC model.

Nomios and Palo Alto Networks outline a practical approach in a new whitepaper that focuses on one thing: making the SOC work in real environments, not just in theory.

A platform-first model

The partnership centres on the Palo Alto Networks Cortex platform, bringing detection, response, automation, and visibility into one place. Nomios analysts work directly in the customer environment, tuning detections and handling investigations while customers keep full ownership of their tools and configurations.

Customers using Cortex XSIAM have reported faster investigations and far fewer false positives, with some organisations seeing a 10x improvement in resolution times.

A clear roadmap, not a black box

The whitepaper shows how structured onboarding, MITRE ATT&CK assessments, and targeted workshops help build a SOC strategy grounded in actual risks and business priorities. In one case, this approach delivered coverage for nearly all key attack techniques relevant to a customer’s environment.

Ready for the AI era

With AI-driven correlation and automation, Cortex XSIAM cuts noise and speeds up response. One industrial customer reduced time to detect and resolve incidents from more than an hour to around 15 minutes after moving away from a traditional MSSP model.
