BURLINGTON, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Apr 24, 2025--

N‑able, Inc. (NYSE: NABL), a global software company delivering a unified cyber resiliency platform to manage, secure, and recover, today launched its first annual 2025 State of the SOC Report— exploring the trends shaping security operations through real-world insights from Adlumin Managed Detection and Response (MDR). The report explores the challenges SOCs face in adapting to an expanding attack surface, highlighting their vital role in enhancing cybersecurity through expert threat monitoring, faster response times, and the use of AI to reduce dwell time.

Cyberthreats have intensified, testing the resilience of security teams as attackers grow more elusive and relentless. SOCs remain a critical line of defense—but keeping pace demands more than traditional playbooks. Integrating AI into SOC workflows isn’t just a strategic shift—we believe it’s a major key to unlocking new levels of efficiency that the human factor alone can’t deliver. From accelerating detections to automating investigations and reporting, AI empowers analysts to focus on what truly matters: anticipating threats, not just reacting to them.

“Today’s cybersecurity environment demands more than detection—it requires precision, adaptability, and speed. This report reinforces what we’re seeing across the industry: cyber resiliency hinges on integrating AI with expert-led response,” said Vikram Ramesh, Chief Strategy Officer at N-able. “We’re focused on building security operations that are resilient by design, capable of adapting in real-time, and ready to meet future challenges. Adlumin’s SOC exemplifies our mission of delivering protection that’s not just reactive but proactively built to anticipate and outpace evolving threats.”

The 2025 State of the SOC Report highlights key takeaways related to incident preparedness and response, all stemming from the frontline experiences of the Adlumin MDR SOC during December 2024 through February 2025. A few key findings include:

The report’s findings are pulled directly from the Adlumin SOC between December 2024 and February 2025, which has successfully protected businesses by processing nearly 500,000 alerts and creating 83,171 security escalations. Among these incidents, ransomware remained a top concern, with the team handling 2,684 ransomware threats.

“In 2024, the threat landscape escalated. The Adlumin MDR SOC was on the front lines of that shift, responding to thousands of escalations,” said Will Ledesma, Senior Director of MDR Cybersecurity Operations at Adlumin, an N-able company. “What we’ve seen is clear: AI in cybersecurity is no longer just about enrichment; it’s about adaptation. The State of the SOCReport reflects our journey: the threats we faced, the wins we earned, and how we continue to advance and evolve for businesses looking to outpace threats in 2025.”

N-able Report Reveals the Future of the SOC Relies on AI, While Human Intervention Remains Essential

SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Julian Champagnie had a career-high 36 points and the San Antonio Spurs survived an injury scare to Victor Wembanyama, rallying to beat the New York Knicks 134-132 on Wednesday night in a rematch of the NBA Cup final.

Wembanyama finished with 31 points and 13 rebounds in 24 minutes before limping off the court with an apparent leg injury with under 11 minutes remaining. He returned to the bench in warmups in the final minutes.

New York's Jalen Brunson had 29 points, including a 3-pointer at the close of regulation after stripping Keldon Johnson of possession as he celebrated with San Antonio's bench. Karl-Anthony Towns and Jordan Clarkson added 20 points apiece for the Knicks, who had a three-game winning streak halted.

Wembanyama hobbled off the court unassisted with 10:32 remaining, heading to the locker room after injuring his left leg. He had soared to gather an offensive rebound over Towns and lost possession when he landed. Replays showed there was no contact, but Wembanyama’s left foot slid forward and his knee appeared to hyperextend.

Wembanyama returned to San Antonio's bench with 1:22 remaining, walking calmly and without a limp. It was a good time for the 7-foot-4 center to return. Wembanyama cheered from the sidelines as the Spurs held on to beat the Knicks to snap a two-game skid.

Champagnie scored 12 points in the fourth quarter, going 4 for 5 on 3-pointers, as San Antonio erased a double-digit deficit.

New York outscored San Antonio 28-27 in the second quarter, but it would have been much worse without Wembanyama. The 7-foot-4 center had 16 points in the second period.

Wembanyama brought the sell-out crowd to its feet with a one-handed slam off an alley-oop pass from Castle that cut New York's lead to 54-50. The Knicks responded with a 17-2 run following a timeout and Wembanyama's exit, including 14 straight points to cap the surge.

Wembanyama returned to help pare the deficit to 73-63.

Champagnie hit back-to-back 3-pointers, capping a 16-2 run that tied the game at 86 midway through the third.

Wembanyama made his 300th career 3-pointer, becoming the fastest to do so among 7-footers and accomplishing the feat in 138 games. That beat the previous mark of 141 games by Utah’s Lauri Markkanen.

Knicks: Host Sacramento on Thursday.

Spurs: At Indiana on Friday.
