Inside the Agentic SOC Where Humans and AI Defend at Machine Speed With Barracuda
- Interview
- Technology
What does a security operations center need when attacks are arriving at a speed and volume that human analysts cannot manage alone? I recorded this episode with Adam Khan, VP of Global Security Operations and AI Security at Barracuda, during the 20th anniversary of the Barracuda Tech Summit in Alpbach, Austria. Adam has spent over 25 years in technology and security. When we last spoke at the event, he used Home Alone and soccer to make complex security topics easier to understand. This year, expectations were high, and he arrived with Formula One. The...

What happens when cyber attacks move faster than a human security team can investigate them? While recorded at the 20th anniversary of Barracuda Tech Summit here in Alpebach, Austria, Adam Khan joins me once again to explain how Barracuda is developing what it calls the agentic SOC. And Adam uses Formula One this year to describe what customers rarely see.
Because the driver may receive all the attention, but the engineers, the strategists, the simulation and the pit crew, these are the people that determine what happens on the track. And a security operations centre works in much the same way. So today we will discuss how AI agents follow analyst playbooks, investigate growing alert
volumes and respond at machine speed, all while providing judgement, strategy and accountability. And Adam will also take us behind the scenes of a live attack demonstration that involved nearly 400 audience triggered attacks. Thankfully, no actual race cars were harmed either.
