Severity
Defender Context
SOCs need to evolve to address modern application-layer attacks, particularly API threats. Defenders should focus on integrating AppSec practices, developing specific incident response playbooks, and enhancing collaboration between security teams. The trend toward "shift-right" security emphasizes real-time visibility and response capabilities in production environments.
