Mr. Mehdi Saadallah research focuses on advancing the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and automation in cybersecurity operations, emphasizing the intersection between technology, human behavior, and organizational structures. It investigates how AI-driven tools influence professional identity, decision-making, and collaboration within Security Operations Centers (SOCs), where analysts and algorithms coexist in dynamic threat environments. By applying frameworks such as Paradox Theory, Organizational Routine Theory, and Identity Work Theory, the work uncovers the tensions, adaptations, and emergent practices that arise when automation transforms traditional cybersecurity routines. Empirical insights are drawn from multinational enterprises across diverse sectors, revealing how organizations balance efficiency, control, and trust in AI-augmented defense systems. The research also develops conceptual and operational models for AI-assisted vulnerability management and SOC modernization, providing a blueprint for improving detection, response, and resilience in complex digital ecosystems. Beyond theory, it delivers applied innovations that enhance cybersecurity governance, human–AI trust calibration, and automation ethics. Through interdisciplinary methods combining qualitative inquiry, computational analysis, and organizational modeling, the work contributes to redefining cybersecurity as a socio-technical discipline—bridging academic rigor and industrial application to guide the future of intelligent, adaptive, and human-centered cyber defense frameworks.
