Filip Stojkovski

Filip Stojkovski

I’ve spent 15+ years in Security Operations, and have been fortunate to see the SOC from almost every angle.
I started as a SOC analyst at an MSSP and over the years worked across detection engineering, threat hunting, threat intelligence, DFIR, security architecture, and eventually SecOps engineering leadership.

That meant working with very different security teams, environments, and technology stacks. I’ve investigated APT incidents, built detection and automation programs, worked with a lot of security vendors, and later moved into advising security companies on product and strategy.

Somewhere along the way, my focus started shifting from operating security products to thinking about how they should be built.

That took me into product, product marketing, and strategy, and into AI SOC. I was an early advocate for the category, mostly because it felt like a natural continuation of what I had already spent years doing with detection engineering and security automation.

Today, my main focus is SecOps Unpacked, the independent research platform I founded three years ago to make sense of where Security Operations is going.

I research and map the SecOps market across AI SOC, SIEM, detection engineering, security automation, and adjacent technologies. The work is for practitioners evaluating technology, product teams building it, and investors trying to understand the market.
