Gartner introduces ISOC category for security operations

Gartner has defined a new security tool category, the Integrated Security Operations Center (ISOC). It unifies detection, investigation, case management and response across security domains, while SIEM remains the system of record for event data. Drivers include SIEM complexity, latency and AI-accelerated attacks.

• ISOC unifies detection, investigation and response in one platform
• SIEM remains the system of record but becomes a separate architectural layer
• Main drivers are lower costs, faster deployment and reduced latency
• The category will expand into identity, cloud/SaaS and email security
