The AI Hype Is Real -- But So Is the Risk of Getting It Wrong | A Brand Spotlight at RSAC Conference 2026 with Subo Guha, Senior Vice President of Product Management of Stellar Cyber

Every vendor at RSAC Conference 2026 will have an autonomous SOC story. Subo Guha, Senior Vice President of Product Management at Stellar Cyber, has been building the real thing for over a decade -- and he has one question every buyer should ask at every booth: can your platform explain why it reached its verdict? Stellar Cyber's autonomous SOC provides a full case summary for every true positive, showing the forensic evidence chain, threat intelligence correlations, and specific observables that led to the conclusion. SOC analysts can review, challenge, or override -- and that feedback loop is how the system improves.

The threat landscape has shifted in ways that validate Stellar Cyber's original architecture. LLM-generated attacks have collapsed the time to launch a sophisticated phishing campaign from weeks to minutes. Stellar Cyber was built to serve the mid-market and the MSSPs that protect it -- organizations that face identical threats to enterprises but without enterprise resources. A unified, multi-tenant platform means MSSPs onboard new customers in minutes. An open data ingestion engine works with whatever tools are already in place -- no EDR lock-in, no rip-and-replace.

At the center of the platform is a correlation engine that transforms thousands of individual alerts into a manageable set of high-confidence cases. An identity compromise driving lateral movement across dozens of alerts becomes one case with a clear recommended action. Subo describes this as the difference between drowning in noise and focusing on decisions that actually require human judgment -- and it is the foundation the autonomous SOC layer is built on.

Subo is direct about what the hype gets wrong: the claim that organizations can dramatically cut SOC headcount because AI has it covered is not happening. The realistic version of autonomous SOC is a force multiplier -- digital agents handle the continuous, high-volume triage work that consumes analyst hours, freeing humans for the cases that require context and institutional knowledge. A system that automates without explainability does not reduce risk. It relocates it.

Stellar Cyber will be at booth S327 in the South Hall at RSAC Conference 2026, right at the bottom of the escalator. Live autonomous SOC demonstrations will be running throughout the event, with real-world results from customers already in production. The team also has a barista on site -- a detail Subo was particularly keen to mention for Marco Ciappelli.
