Every security team adopting AI is hitting the same invisible ceiling: the per-token pricing model. The pitch sounds rational—pay only for what you use. But when your SOC activity scales with the threat level, usage-based pricing forces a choice no CISO should face: pay overage fees or ration investigations during an active attack.

In this webinar, ReliaQuest will break down why token-based AI pricing structurally fails security operations and how it's forcing teams across every industry to choose between cost and coverage. We'll show what the architectural alternative looks like: an AI model broker that routes every task to the right model for cost, speed, and accuracy, controlling cost at the infrastructure layer, so pricing stays flat regardless of volume.

What you'll learn:

• Why per-token pricing and single-model architectures structurally fail security operations — and how uncontrolled vendor cost becomes your variable cost

• How intelligent model routing controls cost at the infrastructure layer and makes flat, restricted-usage pricing viable

• What to ask your AI security vendors to determine whether their architecture absorbs its own costs — or whether your team's operational freedom is the relief valve
