Architectural choices for a modern SOC determine whether AI assistance helps or breaks operations: prioritize structured data and a federated data fabric, build API‑first, streaming pipelines and agent consumers, and prefer small deterministic models plus guardrails to cut hallucination and prompt‑injection risk. Measure impact with concrete metrics—20 clicks to 2 clicks, false‑positive reduction, deduplication and token cost—and run focused pilots. Examples include ML success in fraud detection, automation of enrichment and containment, and a reported 10–15 months to train an agentic system to reliable human‑assisted decisions.
