SOC Blind Spots: The Threats That Always Get Through and Why You Don’t Detect Them
Is your SOC ready for the new era of GenAI attacks?
In this episode, Ahmed Achchak sits down with Jai Minton, Senior Manager of Hunt & Response at Huntress, to break down how attackers consistently bypass even “mature” SOCs by abusing legitimate tools, blending into normal behavior, and operating in places defenders rarely monitor closely.
This conversation is for SOC leaders who want to understand:
→ Which intrusion patterns slip past EDR and SIEM without triggering alerts
→ Where telemetry is silently missing, shallow, or unusable when it matters
→ Why malware-free attacks are harder to catch than most teams expect
→ How weak signals can reveal early-stage intrusions, if you know how to connect them
→ What detection strategies no longer scale against how attackers operate today
Agenda
00:00 – Why SOC blind spots still exist

05:48 – Why logs are missing in the first place
07:00 – The weak signals attackers can’t avoid
08:19 – Can detection of weak signals actually scale?
10:20 – AI on offense: what SOCs are unprepared for
13:48 – Structural detection failures hunters see everywhere
