S&J Enhances Cybersecurity with AI in My SOC 365

S&J Corporation, a leader in cybersecurity based in Minato, Tokyo, has once again pushed the boundaries of security operations. On August 3, 2026, they unveiled a significant enhancement to their My SOC 365 service: an AI-driven automated response feature that can tackle threats within mere seconds. This innovative addition allows for swift identification and remediation of cyber threats without the need for human intervention, thus significantly reducing response times that previously could take several hours.

The Significance of Automated Threat Response

The automated response functionality in My SOC 365 is designed to autonomously analyze multiple logs to determine the credibility of detected threats. Based on S&J's proprietary response rules, the AI can seamlessly execute immediate actions such as disabling accounts or isolating devices. With this feature, the critical initial response time is cut down to just a few seconds, a drastic improvement that helps mitigate the potential impact of cyber attacks.

Such rapid actions are crucial, as the extent of damage from a cyber attack often hinges on how quickly organizations can detect and contain threats. Traditionally, many businesses encounter delays in threat analysis that often extend for hours, preventing timely responses. Additionally, during off hours, the absence of designated personnel may further delay necessary actions, exposing systems to greater risks. S&J’s AI-driven solution is tailored to address these challenges, ensuring that action is taken swiftly even without on-site staff.

Evolution of Cybersecurity Operations

The shift towards autonomous security operations combined with AI capabilities reflects a global trend within security operation centers (SOCs). S&J has acknowledged the growing urgency for companies to address the shortage of cybersecurity personnel, introducing My SOC 365 to alleviate this challenge and enhance security monitoring within a brief period—just five days.

With this automated response capability, S&J is not only providing immediate solutions but also addressing the systemic issue of workforce limitations in cybersecurity, offering a robust answer to companies grappling with ongoing security threats.

Overview of My SOC 365

My SOC 365 combines advanced AI technology with S&J's specialized operational expertise. The service monitors and analyzes security logs from Microsoft 365 (including Microsoft Entra ID and Microsoft Defender) around the clock, ensuring high-level threat detection. Launched on April 23, 2026, and made available from May 11, it caters specifically to medium-sized and smaller businesses that lack dedicated security personnel.

2. Rapid Autonomous Action: Automatic execution of threat containment measures achieves speed and efficiency, even during times when human oversight is minimal, preventing attackers from exploiting delays.
3. Simplified Recovery Process: Accounts or devices deactivated by the automated feature can be restored through a single click, alleviating operating concerns surrounding post-response recovery.
4. Flexible Control Settings: Organizations can manage the scope of automated responses according to their operational realities, including emergency stop features and exclusion settings for specific accounts.
