Security Operations Centers face increasing challenges as cyber threats grow in complexity and volume. Traditional rule-based automation often fails to keep up, leading to alert fatigue, slow response times, and fragmented investigations. To address these issues, Hunters—a leader in next-generation SIEM—has introduced Pathfinder AI, marking a major step toward AI-driven SOCs. This innovation builds on Copilot AI, which enhances SOC workflows with LLM-powered guidance, and introduces Agentic AI, an autonomous system designed to optimize threat detection, investigation, and response. Pathfinder AI represents a shift from manual-intensive security processes to a self-optimizing AI-driven SOC, enabling security teams to focus on critical threats rather than tedious analysis.
How AI is Transforming Security Operations
Security investigations require a dynamic and adaptive approach. Traditional automation is rigid, forcing analysts to follow predefined workflows that may lead to false positives and inefficiencies.
AI-driven SOCs, powered by Agentic AI, introduce a flexible, learning-based approach that:
- Dynamically adapts to evolving threats
- Prioritizes high-risk incidents while filtering out false positives
- Automates triage, investigation, and response to reduce manual workloads
- Improves accuracy and efficiency with real-time, AI-powered insights
Hunters’ Pathfinder AI enables these capabilities through two AI-driven models:
- Copilot AI – Assists analysts with automated data analysis, guided investigations, and report generation
- Agentic AI – Delivers autonomous threat detection, classification, and response, minimizing manual intervention
This combination ensures faster, smarter, and more precise security operations, reducing the time from threat detection to resolution.
Features of Pathfinder AI
1. AI-Assisted SOC with Copilot AI
Copilot AI enhances SOC efficiency by assisting analysts in key investigative tasks, enabling faster triage and response:
- Lead Summarization – AI-generated summaries provide comprehensive context on security events.
- Guided Investigation Workflows – Suggests next steps across multiple attack vectors.
- Natural Language Querying – Analysts can interact with the SIEM using conversational AI.
- Custom Detection Authoring – Assists analysts in refining threat detections through iterative feedback.
- Threat Classification – AI evaluates signals to distinguish between benign activities and real threats, reducing triage workload.
2. AI-Driven SOC with Agentic AI
Agentic AI goes beyond automation, autonomously investigating and responding to threats:
- Autonomous Triage and Classification – AI-driven agents analyze every threat, providing full incident reports.
- Self-Optimizing Detections – AI refines detection models based on real-world attack data.
- Automated Root Cause Analysis – AI correlates multiple attack signals to construct detailed attack narratives.
By integrating Copilot AI and Agentic AI, Pathfinder AI enables SOC teams to move beyond manual triage and fragmented investigations—accelerating response times while reducing operational complexity.
Industry Impact: Enhancing Security Operations
1. Real-Time AI-Driven Investigations
Pathfinder AI eliminates delays in security response by ensuring AI-driven automated triage and classification. This minimizes manual investigations, enabling SOC teams to focus on high-priority incidents.
2. Scalable Security Automation
As cyber threats evolve, security teams must scale their defenses. With Pathfinder AI, machine learning models continuously adapt, ensuring detection accuracy and proactive threat management.
3. Proactive Threat Hunting
Traditional security approaches often rely on reactive methods. Pathfinder AI introduces proactive defense mechanisms, leveraging automated root cause analysis and adaptive detections to prevent attacks before they escalate.
The Future of AI-Driven SOCs
Pathfinder AI is a game-changer for security operations, marking a transition toward autonomous, AI-powered SOCs. With its Agentic AI vision, Hunters is redefining cybersecurity automation, ensuring:
- Faster threat response through real-time AI insights
- Reduced manual workload for security teams
- Higher detection accuracy with continuously improving models
- A fully automated SOC experience, enabling proactive threat management
Hunters will continue expanding Pathfinder AI capabilities, delivering next-generation security automation in the coming months
Pathfinder AI represents the next evolution in AI-driven security operations, combining LLM-powered guidance (Copilot AI) with autonomous threat response (Agentic AI). By shifting from manual triage to self-optimizing AI models, Hunters is enabling SOCs to respond faster, smarter, and with greater precision. As cyber threats become more sophisticated and frequent, AI-driven SOCs will be essential in defending organizations proactively—and Hunters is leading the way.
