What is an agentic SOC? An operating model, not a product. AI agents do the investigating alerts around the clock. Your analysts own every verdict. Learn about the Agentic SOC 📖 bit.ly/4huMEJ5

Why would a security team want AI agents to investigate fewer alerts, on purpose? On the @TEISS teissTalk panel, Dropzone AI Founder and CEO Edward Wu explains a mode some customers asked for. It sends about 1% of alerts straight to the analysts, and the AI agents leave those alone. The idea comes from airport security, where staff slip test items into luggage to check if TSA screeners are paying attention. The full episode is on demand here 👉 bit.ly/4gqAQHa

"I didn't need a rep to explain what an agentic SOC does. The booth explained it to me while I was still walking in." A Black Hat attendee on the AI SOC Diner, where AI SOC Analyst and AI Threat Hunter worked real alerts, live and unscripted, all week. The question of the week moved from "does it work" to "show your work." If you were there, what would it take for an AI agent to earn a spot in your SOC?

Turn on @CNBC at 5:15pm ET today because @DropzoneAI made it on national TV! 🚀 We're also in a segment on @AllAccessGarcia on the 27th. We'll share the details next week. Dropzone AI set out to build the agentic SOC when others called it a someday idea. Now it's real, and on the national stage. 🚀 Reinforcements have arrived.

Deterministic verdicts from a non-deterministic model. From RSAC 2026, @SecWeekly talks with Edward Wu, Founder and CEO of Dropzone AI, on how a coordinated AI agent team investigates and hunts at machine speed, and why the reasoning stays visible. Link to the Edwards segment👉 bit.ly/4gFYKAh

"What just happened?" Here's how the AI SOC Analyst answers it: alert → collect evidence → reason recursively → verdict in plain English → contain confirmed threats → remember. No black box. Just the reasoning, on the record, for your team to sign off on. See it investigate on real alerts → dropzone.ai/self-guided-demo

AI in the SOC is going from assisting analysts to acting on its own, and the proof just hasn't caught up yet. The 2026 Gartner® Hype Cycle™ for Security Operations maps the shift and warns hard about "GenAI washing" and "agent washing." Download your copy 👉 bit.ly/4vUYulg

The AI Threat Hunter gives you 280+ prebuilt hunt packs, ready on demand or on a schedule. Start one and it surfaces only what matters. In one real environment it caught web shell tunneling that would've taken an analyst over a week. See what it finds 👉 bit.ly/4agSB9x #ThreatHunting

A quiet alert queue isn't a clean environment. Lateral movement, living-off-the-land, and valid-account abuse sit below the detection threshold and surface only when someone hunts. A thorough hunt is hours of cross-tool work, so teams manage a few a quarter. Autonomous hunting makes it hypothesis-driven, federated, and continuous, with analysts directing instead of querying.

Dropzone AI is a 2026 Intellyx Digital Innovator Award winner. The recognition follows our analyst briefing with @Intellyx on the Agentic SOC: AI agents that investigate alerts, respond to emerging threats, and hunt attackers, so security teams scale detection and response without scaling headcount.

His own AI agent escaped his lab. It remembered a jump server he'd used once and found its way out, past his firewalls. On the latest Beyond the Alert, our podcast for security operations leaders, host Anne Gotay talks with Dhruv Majumdar of Fleet Device Management about why he now treats AI like malware, and why you can't hand response to a machine on its own.

"Autonomous" is the easy part. Staying in control is the hard part. Meet AI Threat Hunter, the newest agent on the Dropzone AI team, is now in closed beta. You set the scope and authorization. The agent runs federated hunts across your stack and logs every step. Up to 40 hours of hunting in about an hour. Watch a hunt run end to end: bit.ly/4edxyqA

Detection isn't the hard part. Blast radius is. After your gateway flags the phishing email, you still need to know who clicked the link, who entered creds, and whose inbox is forwarding it. Our AI SOC Analyst runs that investigation automatically: dropzone.ai/blog/phishing-bl…

Claude Mythos can find novel exploits faster than vendors can patch them, and detection rules can't catch what has no signature. But every attacker still has to do something once they're inside. In an agentic SOC, AI agents investigate every alert end to end and correlate the ones that were dismissed, instead of waiting for a known pattern. Full breakdown: bit.ly/4nqbc8o
