Agentic SOC is one of those phrases that sounds like marketing until you see it triage a real incident at 3am. We've now run Charlotte AI inside our 24/7 stack for three months. Here's the honest read.

## What changes

The triage tier compresses. Tickets that used to take a tier-1 analyst 8-14 minutes resolve in roughly 90 seconds end-to-end. False positives still need human judgement, but the *enrichment* and *first hypothesis* are already done by the time a human looks at it.

## What doesn't change

Hard incidents still need humans. Anything novel, anything that crosses identity + endpoint + data exfil signals together, still benefits from a senior analyst. The agent is fast, not wise.

## Where SMBs win

For SMBs, the big shift is economic: you can have *real* 24/7 coverage at a price that used to only buy business-hours monitoring. That's the underlying reason Secured by FM CyberSecurity exists.
