AI SOC Analyst - Autonomous Threat Investigation

Your autonomous AI security analyst enriches alerts across 50+ sources, correlates signals across your environment, and delivers actionable verdicts in seconds. Reduce mean time to detect and resolve with human-in-the-loop controls that keep you in command.

How It Works

The AI SOC Analyst operates as a continuous investigation pipeline-from alert intake to resolution-in under a minute for most cases.

1

Alert Intake

Incoming alerts from your SIEM, EDR, and security tools are ingested in real time. The autonomous AI SOC analyst normalizes and prioritizes by severity, blast radius, and asset criticality.

  • Multi-source alert aggregation
  • Automatic deduplication
  • Risk-based prioritization
2

Enrichment

Each alert is enriched across 50+ sources-threat intel, identity context, asset data, EDR telemetry-giving the AI security analyst full visibility before making decisions.

  • Threat intel lookups
  • User and asset context
  • Historical behavior baselines
3

Correlation & Verdict

The AI analyst correlates signals across your environment to distinguish true positives from false positives. A verdict-Benign, Suspicious, or Confirmed Threat-is delivered with supporting evidence.

  • Cross-signal correlation
  • Evidence-backed reasoning
  • Confidence scoring
4

Resolution

Based on the verdict, the SOC analyst executes the resolution workflow you configured: auto-close false positives, create tickets, block IPs, disable sessions, or escalate. Every destructive action requires approval unless you explicitly allow autonomy.

  • Per-action approval gates (block, isolate, disable)
  • One-click rollback on every action taken
  • Policy guardrails by severity, asset type, and time-of-day
  • Immutable audit trail for compliance

Enrichment Sources

The AI SOC Analyst pulls context from every corner of your security stack. Richer data means better verdicts.

Threat Intel Feeds

IP reputation, malware hashes, domain blocklists. Real-time threat intel from commercial and open-source feeds to identify known bad actors.

Identity Providers

Azure AD, Okta, Google Workspace. User roles, group membership, MFA status, and login history to assess identity risk.

Asset Management

CMDB, vulnerability scanners, endpoint inventories. Criticality, ownership, and patch status for prioritization.

EDR & XDR

CrowdStrike, Microsoft Defender, SentinelOne. Process trees, file hashes, and behavioral detections for deep investigation.

Cloud Logs

AWS CloudTrail, Azure Activity Logs, GCP Audit Logs. IAM, resource changes, and anomalous API activity.

Email Security

Microsoft 365, Proofpoint, Mimecast. Phishing verdicts, attachment sandbox results, and sender reputation.

Resolution Workflow

The SOC analyst doesn't just investigate - it resolves. But it never acts outside the boundaries you define. Every destructive action (isolating a host, disabling a user, blocking an IP) passes through your approval gate unless you explicitly grant autonomy. One-click rollback is available on every action taken.

Auto-Resolve False Positives

  • Benign verdicts closed automatically
  • Optional comment for audit
  • Reduces alert fatigue dramatically

Create Tickets

  • Confirmed threats → Jira, ServiceNow, PagerDuty
  • Pre-populated context and evidence
  • Routing by severity or team

Block IPs & Domains

  • Firewall and proxy integrations
  • IP blocklists, URL filtering
  • Approval gate optional

Disable Sessions

  • Revoke user sessions in IdP
  • Force password reset
  • Disable compromised accounts
  • Approval gate by default - one-click rollback

Escalate Real Threats

  • P1/P2 alerts to on-call
  • Slack/Teams notifications
  • Runbooks and playbooks suggested

Full Audit Trail

  • Every action logged
  • Who, what, when, why
  • Export for compliance

Human-in-the-Loop Controls

No AI agent should isolate a CEO's laptop or shut down a production database on a false positive. That's why every containment action is gated by default. You choose what runs autonomously and what requires a human to approve. Rollback is one click away, always.

Approve or Reject Actions

Every remediation action - blocking an IP, disabling an account, isolating a host - requires explicit operator approval by default. No action fires without your sign-off unless you choose to allow it.

  • Action queue for review
  • One-click approve or reject
  • Bulk approval for low-risk actions

Configurable Autonomy Levels

Set per-action-type policies: auto-resolve benign, approve blocks, escalate confirmed threats. Adjust by severity or data sensitivity.

  • Per-workflow autonomy settings
  • Severity-based overrides
  • Time-of-day policies

Full Audit Trail

Every AI decision, every action taken, every override-logged with timestamps, operator IDs, and rationale for compliance and forensics.

  • Immutable event log
  • SIEM export
  • Compliance-ready retention

One-Click Rollback

Made a call you disagree with? Reverse any action the AI took with a single click. Override any verdict. Every rollback is logged and feeds back into the model to prevent repeat mistakes.

  • Instant rollback on any containment action
  • Manual verdict override
  • Feedback loop - corrections train better future decisions
