Arctic Wolf®, a global leader in security operations, today announced the launch of Cipher, an AI-powered security assistant built to deliver on-demand insights, contextual enrichment, and guided investigations within the Arctic Wolf Aurora Platform. Cipher was unveiled at the RSA Conference 2025 and is now available in beta to Arctic Wolf customers. Designed as part of the company’s Alpha AI portfolio, Cipher turns real-world threat intelligence and human-reinforced learning into an accessible, always-on extension of a customer’s Concierge Security® experience.
“Cipher gives customers new, intuitive ways to interact with their security data—whether summarizing alerts, exploring vulnerabilities, or uncovering threat patterns,” said Dan Schiappa, President of Technology and Services at Arctic Wolf. “It’s about delivering flexibility and control, without ever compromising trust or accuracy.”
Introducing Cipher: AI with SOC-Grade Muscle
Unlike conventional GenAI tools that operate in silos, Cipher runs across Arctic Wolf’s open XDR platform, integrating with hundreds of leading security and IT tools. This broad visibility across attack surfaces (endpoint, cloud, network, identity) enables Cipher to deliver context-rich, actionable security insights beyond what single-stack solutions can offer.
Cipher’s capabilities include:
- Instant Answers to Security Questions
- Alert Summarization and Enrichment
- Vulnerability Contextualization
- Incident Trend Analysis
- Actionable Threat Intelligence from 8+ Trillion Weekly Events
Cipher leverages millions of hours of annotated analyst insights and Arctic Wolf’s proprietary data lake to provide recommendations rooted in frontline SOC expertise.
Built for Trust: Co-Developed with Anthropic
To ensure privacy, accuracy, and ethical AI standards, Cipher was developed in collaboration with Anthropic, a leading AI safety and research organization. Cipher leverages Anthropic’s advanced large language models (LLMs) to ensure enterprise-grade data protection and boundary controls are upheld at all times.
“Arctic Wolf’s breadth of telemetry puts them in a powerful position to apply generative AI meaningfully,” said Michael Gerstenhaber, VP of Product at Anthropic. “Cipher brings that power to the front lines of security.”
Cipher + Concierge: Security That Scales with You
Cipher doesn’t replace Arctic Wolf’s Concierge Security® Team—it enhances it. Customers can now choose between live expert engagement or self-guided AI interaction to explore issues and accelerate threat resolution.
This hybrid approach helps solve the persistent cybersecurity talent gap, empowering teams to triage faster, respond more confidently, and reduce noise from alerts without expanding headcount.
