The Next Iteration of AI Will Reinvent SecOps. Here’s How.

The Next Iteration of AI Will Reinvent SecOps. Here’s How.
Security operations teams are overwhelmed by a surge in cyber threats, necessitating a smarter approach rather than simply increasing manpower. The evolution of generative and agentic AI, particularly multi-agent systems, is set to transform how security operations function, allowing for efficient incident response and proactive threat detection. Affected: security operations, cybersecurity workforce, organizations

Keypoints :

  • Security operations teams are facing an overwhelming number of alerts and a shortage of resources.
  • Generative AI and agentic AI can assist with incident handling and decision-making.
  • Multi-agent systems, consisting of orchestrated AI agents, can improve efficiency in security tasks.
  • Examples of AI agents in use include roles such as IR analysts and threat hunters.
  • Automation of repetitive tasks allows human analysts to focus on strategic security initiatives.
  • Concerns about job displacement are alleviated as AI enhances rather than replaces human roles.
  • ReliaQuest’s GreyMatter platform utilizes AI to optimize security operations and decrease incident response times.

MITRE Techniques :

  • Automated Response (T2463) – Utilizing AI agents to autonomously isolate affected endpoints and block suspicious communications.
  • Indicator Removal on Host (T1070) – The Automation Engineer agent automatically blocks malicious domains identified during the incident response process.
  • Threat Hunting (T1595) – The Threat Hunter agent proactively searches for other phishing attempts using known IOCs.
  • Data Enrichment (T1566.001) – The Threat Analyst agent enhances alerts with information from threat intelligence feeds to aid decision-making.
  • Incident Response (T1324) – The IR Analyst agent manages and escalates phishing alerts based on detected malicious content.
