Tokenomics na cibersegurança: ataques de negação de carteira e custos das operações de SOC

22 de Outubro de 2026, 17:42

Recentemente, fizemos uma postagem sobre tokenomics e ataques de “negação de carteira” (denial of wallet): um novo tipo de ataque DDoS que busca gerar gastos excessivos com tokens de IA. Antes de começarem a proteger os processos de IA de seus colegas contra essa nova ameaça, os profissionais de segurança precisam considerar que as próprias atividades do departamento de segurança da informação também podem ser alvo desse tipo de ataque. Como as equipes de segurança estão testando e implementando ativamente diferentes formas de automação baseada em IA, a ameaça de interferência externa destinada a paralisar o sistema de defesa pode afetar diretamente seus próprios processos e tecnologias.

A Elastic estima que, conforme a arquitetura do SOC baseado em agentes, a triagem de um único alerta de um host pode custar US$ 0,69 com um conjunto de agentes especializados ou US$ 3,42 com um agente de uso geral capaz de executar 14 tipos diferentes de tarefas.

No entanto, esses valores médios ocultam uma enorme variação nos custos. A qualquer momento, o processamento inicial de um alerta simples (como, por exemplo, mil tokens) pode desencadear uma investigação sobre o processamento de milhões de entradas de registro, chamadas de API, e de outros dados relacionados, consumindo milhões de tokens em questão de minutos.

A própria Elastic reconhece que utiliza o modelo Claude Sonnet 4.6 em seu SOC. Isso levanta uma questão imediata: o que acontece quando o orçamento se esgota ou os filtros de segurança do modelo são acionados? No pior cenário, o SOC baseado em IA aciona uma “orquestra de agentes” para investigar eventos suspeitos que se assemelham a movimentos laterais na infraestrutura. O agente faz uma chamada à API da Anthropic, mas o orçamento mensal do departamento já se esgotou, e a API retorna erros. A investigação fica paralisada, e a equipe só percebe o problema meio dia depois. Além disso, se os “filtros de segurança” de um grande provedor de IA, que estão em constante mudança, classificarem as solicitações do SOC como maliciosas, o mesmo poderá ocorrer mesmo que ainda haja orçamento disponível. Isso ficou evidente na experiência da Hugging Face ao investigar a invasão de sua infraestrutura pela OpenAI.

É claro que um invasor tem interesse em provocar esse tipo de situação. O invasor pode aumentar diretamente os custos da equipe de defesa ao inserir prompts maliciosos nos dados que ela processa, como registros DNS TXT, cabeçalhos HTTP, comentários no código e nomes de arquivos, sabendo que esses prompts serão analisados pelos sistemas de segurança da informação. No ataque GhostJacking, registros do WAF são usados como vetor para a injeção de prompts. Em outro método, apresentado em um estudo acadêmico, pesquisadores conseguiram atacar as próprias proteções de segurança dos LLMs, aumentando a latência das solicitações em 148 vezes e o consumo de tokens em 63 vezes. Em teoria, o sistema continua funcionando normalmente, mas o processamento dos alertas fica muito mais lento e os custos associados aumentam significativamente.

O perigo das falhas silenciosas

Em sistemas baseados em agentes, o esgotamento do orçamento nem sempre gera um erro explícito com a mensagem “limite de solicitações excedido” e um alerta imediato aos responsáveis. Em determinadas configurações, pode ocorrer degradação silenciosa: quando uma solicitação ao modelo excede o tempo limite, o sistema muda automaticamente para um modelo mais barato, reduzindo a qualidade das respostas e interrompendo a execução de subagentes e tarefas periódicas. Enquanto isso, a equipe de segurança pode passar horas acreditando que tudo continua funcionando normalmente.

Como controlar os custos da IA na cibersegurança

Gerenciar os custos, é claro, não se resume a “evitar gastos excessivos”. O setor já caiu nessa armadilha ao implementar soluções SIEM: quando as empresas passaram a pagar de acordo com o volume de telemetria coletada, começaram a restringir seletivamente a coleta de registros, nem sempre de forma eficaz. Como resultado, surgiram pontos cegos na detecção de ameaças. O mesmo pode acontecer com os tokens, mas de forma mais rápida e em maior escala. Uma política de redução de custos mal planejada pode comprometer a profundidade das investigações e a qualidade das respostas. Sem uma política desse tipo, a decisão sobre o que cortar ficará a cargo do analista de plantão às 3h da manhã, e não do arquiteto ou do CISO durante a fase de projeto do sistema. Outra possibilidade é que o próprio fornecedor do sistema imponha limites automaticamente.

Alguns princípios simples ajudam a evitar aumentos previsíveis de custos e a gerenciar melhor situações realmente imprevisíveis.

Não recorra à IA para analisar informações que podem ser verificadas por meio de consultas convencionais. Tarefas repetitivas e previsíveis devem continuar sendo executadas da maneira tradicional, com regras e consultas a dados. Essas regras e consultas podem ser desenvolvidas com o auxílio da IA, mas devem funcionar de maneira determinística. O modelo deve ser usado apenas quando for realmente necessário avaliar uma situação ambígua.

Estabeleça limites rigorosos e emita alertas imediatos aos usuários sempre que forem ultrapassados. Combine diferentes tipos de limite, como limites por tarefa, limites diários e assim por diante. Os alertas de violação dos limites devem chegar imediatamente tanto aos analistas de plantão quanto aos responsáveis por todo o sistema.

Defina com antecedência o que fazer quando um limite for atingido. A decisão entre interromper o processo para economizar, mesmo que isso reduza o controle, ou continuar e arcar com os custos deve ser tomada antes que ocorra um incidente.

Restrinja as permissões dos agentes e as ferramentas às quais eles têm acesso. Quanto mais restrito o conjunto de ações, melhor será seu desempenho em tarefas específicas. Isso também reduz as oportunidades de elevar os custos e a probabilidade de exploração por agentes externos.

Examine rigorosamente os dados externos não confiáveis. Solicitações, consultas, mensagens, comentários e campos técnicos de texto livre, como registros DNS, cabeçalhos HTTP e nomes de arquivos, podem servir tanto para injetar prompts maliciosos quanto para sobrecarregar deliberadamente o sistema. Limite o tamanho desses dados e monitore a carga de trabalho que geram.

Para evitar interrupções causadas por provedores externos e manter o controle total sobre os dados da organização, avalie a possibilidade de usar modelos locais implantados na própria infraestrutura, pelo menos nas atividades de segurança da informação. Embora não sejam os modelos mais avançados, sua especialização e seu ajuste fino com dados da empresa podem garantir bom desempenho e reduzir o risco de falhas inesperadas.

Em arquiteturas mais complexas, os LLMs podem ser divididos em níveis de gravidade. A primeira linha de defesa, responsável por roteamento, filtragem de ruído e enriquecimento de dados é tratada localmente por modelos compactos. Isso reduz significativamente a imprevisibilidade dos custos. O segundo nível conta com um modelo local de maior porte, responsável pelo trabalho analítico principal: correlacionar eventos, testar hipóteses e reconstruir o cenário do incidente. Esse modelo também não gera custos por solicitação, mas tem capacidade limitada, o que pode causar gastos além do orçamento, sobrecargas e acúmulo de eventos em filas. Apenas casos excepcionais e realmente complexos são encaminhados a modelos avançados na nuvem, de preferência com a aprovação explícita de um analista. Nesse modelo, ainda há custos variáveis, mas eles ficam restritos a poucos casos. Cada encaminhamento é uma decisão consciente, e não uma consequência inesperada de um script executado durante a noite.

Na prática, essa abordagem reproduz o modelo clássico de SOC em vários níveis: a primeira linha faz a triagem, e a terceira conduz as investigações. A diferença é que essas funções são desempenhadas por modelos, e não por pessoas.

AI in the SOC: Why Complete Autonomy Is the Wrong Goal

20 de Fevereiro de 2026, 04:30

Dan Petrillo, VP of Product at BlueVoyant 

 

As artificial intelligence (AI) becomes more deeply embedded in security operations, a divide has emerged in how its role is defined. Some argue the security operations centre (SOC) should be fully autonomous, with AI replacing human analysts. Others believe that augmentation is the right path, using AI to support and extend existing teams. 

 

Augmentation probably reflects how SOCs operate in practice. It helps analysts triage alerts, investigate incidents faster, and it brings better context into their work, while still ensuring humans are accountable for decisions.  

 

Complete autonomy assumes a level of reliable, end-to-end decision-making that can operate without continuous human oversight. That’s a high bar. In real SOC environments, the technology, data quality, and operational constraints rarely support that assumption. Detection pipelines are noisy, context is fragmented across tools, and threat signals often require human judgment to interpret correctly. Even the most advanced automation struggles with edge cases, ambiguous alerts, and the dynamic nature of attacker behaviour. 

 

Why an Autonomous SOC Falls Short 

Delving deeper and examining why AI cannot fully replace SOC analysts; in short, it comes down to the oversimplification of the complexities inherent in what security operations involve. Investigation is only one part of a functioning SOC. Organisations also depend on experienced practitioners to interpret ambiguous signals, manage escalation, and communicate risk to senior leadership. When incidents become business issues, that same expertise is required to apply judgement, coordinate stakeholders, and produce reporting that stands up to scrutiny. 

 

When something goes wrong, such as a logging failure, a broken parser following a third-party firewall update, or months of missing telemetry, automated systems cannot resolve the issue alone. Human expertise is needed to understand context, reconstruct events, and guide remediation. 

 

Governance is another constraint. The cost of false negatives remains unacceptably high, and security leaders are unlikely to deploy solutions that act without clear oversight. Even where AI can execute parts of a workflow, organisations still require process controls, quality checks, and human validation for complex or unfamiliar scenarios. A fully autonomous model cannot reliably make the right judgement call in every situation, particularly when decisions carry real business impact. 

 

Accuracy risks also remain. AI systems can make mistakes, draw incorrect conclusions, or miss important signals if left unchecked. Human oversight therefore remains essential to spot errors early and prevent them from turning into operational problems. 

 

Ultimately, fully autonomous SOC models ask organisations to trade human judgement and accountability for AI that is still maturing. That trade-off is impractical in an environment where consequences are measured in real-world disruption. 

 

Why AI in the SOC Is Still Essential 

However, none of the above suggests that AI does not have a place in the SOC. When implemented with purpose it delivers measurable improvements in the areas where teams are under the most pressure. 

 

AI can take on repetitive, high-volume tasks such as alert triage and enrichment, allowing analysts to focus on more complex investigations, decision-making, and response. Deployed effectively, AI in the SOC is essential to reclaiming human time from low value activity, enabling teams to apply expertise where it has the greatest operational payoff. 

 

Some of the most significant benefits of integrating AI agents into human-led SOC teams include: 

  • Workload reduction: AI can handle repetitive, high-volume tasks such as alert triage, dynamic enrichment, and report generation, reducing analyst fatigue and operational backlog. 
  • Process consistency: AI helps standardise workflows across varying skill levels, smoothing differences in tool syntax and operating procedures so teams perform more consistently. 
  •  Improved alert quality: By incorporating external threat intelligence, control telemetry, and asset context, AI can reduce false positives and support more accurate prioritisation. 
  • Faster decision-making: Attack timelines, path mapping, and context-rich summaries enable analysts to assess scope, impact, and containment options more quickly. 
  • Knowledge retention: AI working alongside human analysts captures operational insights over time, mitigating the impact of staff churn and preserving institutional knowledge. It can also identify patterns that may be missed by individuals and recommend rules or remediations accordingly. 
  • Always on: AI doesn’t need breaks, get tired, fall ill, take holidays, or turn up late. It becomes a consistently reliable coworker for stretched teams working under pressure. 

 

Where Augmentation Delivers the Most Value 

AI delivers the greatest value when applied to SOC activities that are slow, manual, or prone to inconsistency, while keeping humans accountable for decisions and execution. 

 

Augmentation should be introduced first in areas where AI can speed up analysis, surface insight, and support judgement, without removing human oversight. Below are a few areas where you might consider using AI to augment your team:

  • Alert triage: False-positive reduction, dynamic enrichment, and contextual prioritisation using threat intelligence, asset criticality, and exposure data. 
  • Augmented investigations: Natural language querying, attack path and timeline visualisation, and suggested queries that speed root-cause analysis. 
  • Incident and case summarisation: Automated executive- and GRC-ready reporting that consolidates findings with clear, decision-ready context. 
  • Hypothesis generation: Continuous pattern and behaviour analysis to surface new detections, investigative approaches, and remediation opportunities for human approval. 
  • Operational oversight: AI that learns expected procedures and flags process deviations, bottlenecks, or underperformance for leadership attention. 
  • Response recommendations: Context-aware guidance and playbook generation, with optional integration-driven execution remaining under human control. 

 

What This Means for Security Teams 

Security teams manage millions of investigations every year, even after automating many routine cases. While automation can streamline these routine tasks, full autonomy remains unrealistic. The most critical stages of an investigation still rely on human judgement, context and accountability.  

 

AI will continue to enhance the speed, scale and consistency of security operations, but the SOC of the future will remain human led, with AI augmenting, not replacing, analysts. Organisations that adopt AI in targeted, outcome driven ways will scale more effectively, reduce risk and preserve institutional knowledge. As threats evolve, AI augmented SOC teams will not only keep pace but stay ahead of adversaries.
