ELASTIC Security Labs outlines an Agentic SOC where AI Agents and AI Agent Skills perform SOC workflows such as detection engineering, alert triage, investigation, escalation, response, and threat hunting, without replacing human analysts but transforming how the SOC operates. The piece explains that AI Agents can run natively within SIEM or XDR, or on top of legacy SIEM as AI SOC components, and highlights that Elastic ships over 1,700 pre-built rules for its SIEM by default.
It describes a practical flow where an initial Slack notification triggers a coordinated case in Elastic Case Management, with an attack summary, attached alerts, observables, and events, then uses Investigations and Similar cases to support the analyst through remediation and release. The article emphasises AI-powered triage, an LLM-agnostic Agent Builder, and features like Attack Discovery to prioritise hundreds of alerts into a manageable subset of known attacks.
