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).

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

LEXINGTON, Mo. (AP) — Missouri's attorney general sued a natural gas company Monday over the explosion of a home in a small town that killed a 5-year-old boy, accusing the utility of violating a state safety law.

Attorney General Andrew Bailey's lawsuit came less than a week after federal investigators said in a preliminary report that a Liberty Utilities employee failed to mark a section of a gas line before another company drilled into it while installing a fiber optic cable. The April 9 explosion destroyed a home in Lexington, a town of about 4,500 people about 55 miles (89 kilometers) east of Kansas City.

The blast killed Alistair Lamb and injured his 10-year-old sister, Cami, and their father, Jacob Cunningham. Bailey's lawsuit, filed in Lafayette County Circuit Court, alleges that a Liberty employee “falsely” told the company installing the fiber optic cable that all gas lines had been marked. The lawsuit called the explosion a “preventable tragedy.”

Bailey said Liberty violated a state law designed to ensure that digging for underground water, sewer and telecommunications lines is safe. Bailey is seeking a $10,000 fine for each day the section of gas line wasn't marked and wants a special monitor appointed to ensure that the company complies with the law.

The company said in a statement that as a party to the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board's ongoing investigation, it cannot comment much about the explosion or the lawsuit. Liberty said it will continue to help families affected by the explosion and “support broader recovery efforts.”

“Nothing is more important to us than the safety of our customers, employees, and communities,” the statement said. “We remain fully committed to working with authorities and regulatory agencies to support the ongoing investigation into the cause of the incident.”
