The ebook showcases real-world examples where instincts and human-led responses outpaced AI-driven detection.
LINTHICUM HEIGHTS, Md., June 3, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- CyberMaxx, a leading Managed Detection and Response (MDR) provider, has announced the release of a new eBook titled "Tales from the SOC: Security Success Stories Powered by Proactive Intelligence and Real-Time Response."
This collection of true stories from CyberMaxx's Security Operations Center (SOC) gives an in-depth insight into why human instincts and human-led response are still essential in a market driven by automation.
The Importance of Human-AI Balance
"Tales from the SOC" explores the power of CyberMaxx's signature approach to cybersecurity, known as "Big R." Unlike the industry-standard "little r" response model, which often ends at passive alerting, Big R focuses on the importance of ethical human judgment. This is essential when investigating, containing, and eradicating threats in real time before they can cause widespread damage.
Behind the Scenes of Frontline Security Stories
The eBook details several high-stakes incidents where CyberMaxx's SOC team pushed beyond standardized procedures to protect clients from cyber threats. Each instance involved acting on early warning signs before they triggered formal alerts.
Highlights include:
- One IP address, two organizations saved: How investigating an IP address that repeatedly appeared uncovered a hidden threat that almost went unnoticed.
- A malicious inbox rule and 300+ shares: How rapid response and forensic investigation contained a fast-moving email threat before it could escalate further.
- A thumb drive and a criminal investigation: A suspicious device turned into a high-stakes criminal investigation, showing the critical role of human ethics in cybersecurity.
Why Big R Matters
"Tales from the SOC" explains why protecting your organization requires more than throwing money at automated tools and refreshing your business dashboard.
Sometimes, it involves letting an activity play out a little longer to build a clearer picture and better understand the threat. Above all else, it demands human expertise and creativity.
