DUBAI, United Arab Emirates, June 13, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Adeel Shaikh Muhammad, a leading cybersecurity and AI strategist, speaker, and author, has announced the release of the second edition of his highly regarded book, AI-Driven Transformation of the SOC and SecOps. The new edition provides updated insights into how Artificial Intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing Security Operations Centers (SOCs) and SecOps, helping security professionals reduce alert fatigue, unify security tools, and enhance incident response using machine learning and automation.
Building on the success of the first edition, the updated version includes additional case studies, expanded analysis of AI-driven SOC workflows, and a deeper discussion on balancing automation with ethical and regulatory considerations. The book is designed for security leaders, analysts, and decision-makers navigating the fast-changing threat landscape and seeking practical strategies to implement intelligent, adaptive defenses.
Adeel brings over 15 years of experience in information security and IT across the Gulf region and beyond, having led more than 70+ Cybersecurity and IT projects in sectors including government, finance, education, and energy. His expertise is widely sought in both operational and strategic contexts, where he consults on digital transformation, SOC optimization, and the responsible use of emerging technologies. He also shares insights and industry updates on his LinkedIn profile, where he engages with peers and professionals in the cybersecurity and AI communities.
Alongside his industry work, Adeel is currently pursuing a Doctorate in Business Administration from the Swiss School of Management. His academic research, titled “Exploring the Impact of Artificial Intelligence on Enhancing and Simplifying SOC Mechanisms,” explores how AI can streamline threat detection and incident response processes, with a specific focus on the evolving cybersecurity landscape.
In a recent interview with Edward Preston on The EPic HYPE Show, Adeel spoke about the necessity of grounding AI tools in trust and security:
“AI can be a force multiplier, but it must be rooted in trust. Without securing the underlying systems where data lives, we’re just building smart tools on shaky ground.”
His insights were also featured during a fireside session at RSA Conference 2025, where he joined a panel hosted by AI security platform Kindo to discuss the intersection of automation and ethics in modern SOC environments.
