A typical Tuesday morning in 2030. Your SOC is calm. Then one soft ping: “Attempted synthetic identity blocked in 32 seconds via real-time integrity checks. Summary sent to client. Zero exposure.” No 3 a.m. storms. Just quiet protection.
The global AI-in-cybersecurity market is projected to reach $93.75 billion by 2030 (per Grand View Research). For MSPs and MSSPs, the shift is from reactive fixing to proactive reputation protection and strategic partnership.
