AI SOC For MDR

Independent research from SACR reveals why AI SOC companies are pivoting to MDR delivery: mid-market buyers don't want tools to manage. They want investigations handled, accountability transferred, and threats closed.

See how Daylight's approach validates this shift.

Inside the Report: AI SOC Needs Human Accountability

SACR tracked a pattern across AI SOC vendors: companies that started building autonomous investigation platforms are now offering, or partnering to deliver, MDR services.

Why? Because buyers don't want to own AI failures or manage another tool.

‍What SACR found:
- Traditional MDR can't scale: ~10% margins, inconsistent quality, human-dependent investigation
- Pure AI SOC platforms hit adoption friction: enterprises won't deploy high-autonomy systems without accountability buffers
- The winning model: AI-driven investigation + expert human oversight, delivered as a service
- Daylight's MASS (Managed Agentic Security Services) was built on this thesis from day one

SACR evaluated 7 vendors delivering AI-powered MDR. See how Daylight's approach, combining agentic investigation with follow-the-sun security experts, aligns with where the market is headed.
