AI SOC agent solutions use AI to help enhance and streamline many core functions within security operations. These agents can assist with investigation through natural language queries, reduce false positives, enrich alerts, provide attack path context, summarize reports, and offer next-step guidance.
According to Gartner®, "Effective augmentation can lead to reduction in time required to perform certain tasks, such as managing false positives. It can also lead to other program benefits such as reducing skill sets required to perform activities, reducing errors and increasing the overall performance of SOC operations."
