IBM Agentic AI
IBM said on Monday it has introduced new agentic and automation capabilities to its managed detection and response service offerings to help enable autonomous security operations and predictive threat intelligence for clients.
Mark Hughes, Global Managing Partner for Cybersecurity Services, IBM, said, “Organizations continue to be challenged by increasingly stealthy and persistent cyber threats, which are slowing detection and response times. By delivering agentic AI capabilities, IBM is automating threat hunting to help improve detection and response processes so clients can unlock new value from security operations and free up already scarce security resources.”
Other announcements
IBM said it is launching Autonomous Threat Operations Machine (ATOM), an agentic AI system providing autonomous threat triage, investigation, and remediation with minimal human intervention.
The firm is also introducing the new X-Force Predictive Threat Intelligence (PTI) agent for ATOM, which leverages industry vertical-specific AI foundation models to generate predictive threat insights on potential adversarial activity and minimize manual threat hunting efforts, based on the report.
What is an Autonomous Threat Operations Machine?
IBM explained that powering IBM’s Threat Detection and Response (TDR) services, ATOM’s AI agentic framework and orchestration engine uses multiple individual agents to increase an organization’s existing security analytics solution and aid in boosting threat detection, analyzing alerts with enrichment and contextualization, performing risk analysis, creating and executing investigation plans, and performing remediation actions that improve the security analyst experience.
