Expert insights on building an AI-first cybersecurity team
Why I Joined Bricklayer AI
For over a decade, I worked in application security. Helping companies defend against DDoS, application-layer vulnerabilities, and automated attacks: credential stuffing, web scraping, enumeration, fake account creation. That world shaped how I think about attackers, not as distant, abstract threats but as adversarial teams with their own profit motivations and iteration cycles, their own tooling, […]
The Security Operations Center Is Becoming Something Else Entirely
The perimeter didn’t disappear. It just stopped mattering. What replaces it, and what that means for the people running SOCs today, is the real question. If you’ve run a SOC for more than a few years, you’ve watched the job quietly transform around you. The tools multiplied. The alert volumes climbed. The dwell time statistics […]
From AI SOC to Governed Agentic SOC: Why Adding AI to the SOC Isn’t Enough and What Comes Next
The problem with “AI SOC” Over the past few years, nearly every cybersecurity vendor has claimed to deliver an “AI SOC.” At first glance, that sounds like meaningful progress. Artificial intelligence promises to address alert fatigue, analyst burnout, and the growing scale and complexity of threats. The vision is compelling: machines augmenting human teams, accelerating […]
Mythos, GPT-5.5, and Cybersecurity’s Asymmetry Problem
The next phase of cybersecurity will not be defined by what artificial intelligence can do, but by who can use it faster. Over the past year, two developments have begun to reshape that equation. Systems like Mythos have demonstrated an ability, in controlled settings, to identify real software vulnerabilities in widely used systems. At the […]
Introducing Insight Groups: Structuring Context for the Coordinated AI SOC
How Bricklayer Treats Investigative Knowledge as a System Asset, Not a Prompt Input In every real security investigation, understanding accumulates. One analyst surfaces a signal. Another adds depth. A third brings in external threat context. Decisions get made based on everything that came before. That is how a SOC actually works. Most agentic AI systems […]
