In today’s digital landscape, Security Operations Centres (SOCs) play a pivotal role in defending organisations against evolving cyber threats. They function as central hubs for detecting, analysing, and responding promptly to cyber incidents with the primary objective of ensuring the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of digital assets.
However, SOCs face several challenges, including an overwhelming volume of alerts, high staffing requirements, lack of skilled staff, and poorly integrated tools. Human-AI collaboration, also known as collaborative intelligence, combines the unique strengths of humans and AI systems to achieve superior outcomes. In such teams, humans and AI systems work together, leveraging human creativity, critical thinking, judgement, and intuition alongside AI’s data processing abilities, pattern recognition, speed, efficiency, and scalability. This synergy allows human-AI teams to tackle complex decision-making challenges more effectively and efficiently than either could alone. The rise of AI-powered tools and technologies within SOCs creates a compelling opportunity for human-AI collaboration to enhance SOC operations. This special issue of ACM Transactions on Internet Technology (TOIT) invites original high-quality submissions that delve into the practical applications and theoretical underpinnings of human-AI collaboration in SOCs.
