EP227 AI-Native MDR: Betting on the Future of Security Operations?

Guests: Eric Foster, CEO of Tenex.AI Venkata Koppaka, CTO of Tenex.AI  Topics: Why is your AI-powered MDR special? Why start an MDR from scratch using AI? So why should users bet on an "AI-native" MDR instead of an MDR that has already got its act together and is now applying AI to an existing set of practices?  What's the current breakdown in labor between your human SOC analysts vs your AI SOC agents? How do you expect this to evolve and how will that change your unit economics?  What tasks are humans uniquely good at today's SOC? How do you expect that to change in the next 5 years? We hear concerns about SOC AI missing things –but we know humans miss things all the time too. So how do you manage buyer concerns about the AI agents missing things?  Let's talk about how you're helping customers measure your efficacy overall. What metrics should organizations prioritize when evaluating MDR?  Resources: Video EP223 AI Addressable, Not AI Solvable: Reflections from RSA 2025 (quote from Eric in the title!)
