Hunters Unveils Pathfinder AI to Automate Security Operations
BOSTON, March 05, 2025 – Hunters, a leader in next-generation SIEM, has announced the launch of Pathfinder AI. This marks a significant step towards AI-driven security operations centers (SOCs), building upon their existing Copilot AI to introduce an Agentic AI vision. Agentic AI is designed to autonomously enhance the detection, investigation, and response capabilities within SOC environments.
Agentic AI will soon be available, accompanied by ongoing innovations aimed at further streamlining security operations. “Hunters has already made a significant impact on our security operations by reducing manual investigations, streamlining data ingestion, and improving threat visibility,” said Casey Sword, Endpoint Security Architect, Emburse. “With Pathfinder AI, we’re enhancing efficiency and response times through AI-driven detection explanations and automated investigative guidance. This innovation continues to strengthen Emburse’s security posture with cutting-edge AI-powered threat intelligence.”
The Evolution of Security Operations with AI
Security investigations are inherently complex, with each alert potentially triggering numerous investigative stages. This complexity can lead to analysts struggling with an overwhelming volume of potential paths. Traditional automation, often based on rigid workflows, can cause analysts to follow unproductive leads, allowing genuine threats to be overlooked. AI aims to change this dynamic.
Unlike static rule-based automation, Agentic AI adapts dynamically, prioritizing critical threats, filtering out irrelevant information, and continually refining investigations. This focus enables security teams to remain efficient and focused on the most important threats.
To meet evolving threats, SOCs require two essential AI-driven capabilities:
- Copilot AI: Enhances analyst workflows with features like automated data analysis, report generation, and guided investigations.
- Agentic AI: Offers autonomous threat detection, investigation, and response, thereby minimizing manual workloads and accelerating decision-making.
By utilizing specialized AI agents that collaborate in real-time, security teams can overcome traditional manual triage and fragmented investigations. This allows SOCs to operate faster, smarter, and with greater precision.
Hunters Pathfinder AI: A Deep Dive
Hunters was founded with the goal of integrating analyst intelligence into the SIEM, automating triage and investigation to maximize efficiency and accuracy. With years of experience in refining AI-driven security operations, Hunters is well-positioned to lead the AI-driven SOC transformation, applying their expertise to deliver automation at scale. As Pathfinder AI evolves, Hunters is enhancing its capabilities across two key areas: AI-Assisted SOC and AI-Driven SOC, both contributing to reducing manual workloads and improving detection, investigation, and response.
AI-Assisted SOC with Copilot AI includes:
- Lead Summarization: AI-generated summaries provide analysts with immediate and comprehensive context on security events.
- Guided Investigation Workflows: Offers suggestions on subsequent actions across the entire attack surface.
- Natural Language Querying: Enables SOC analysts to use conversational AI for efficient information retrieval.
- Custom Detection Authoring: Assists analysts in refining detections through guided logic and iterative adjustments.
- Threat Classification: AI evaluates signals and context to determine if a threat is benign or malicious, streamlining manual triage.
AI-Driven SOC with Agentic AI features:
- Autonomous Triage and Classification: AI-driven agents independently investigate every threat, classify each incident, and furnish comprehensive investigation reports.
- Self-Optimizing Detections: Machine learning models continually refine detection accuracy based on data from real-world attacks.
- Automated Root Cause Analysis: AI correlates signals from multiple sources to offer a complete narrative of attack events.
“Pathfinder AI is a game-changer for SOC teams, allowing us to deliver on our promise of making security operations more effective in the fight against cyber threats,” said Ian Forrest, VP of Product, Hunters. “By combining Copilot AI and Agentic AI, we are not just automating tasks but enabling security teams to focus on what truly matters—stopping real threats before they cause harm.”
The Future of Hunters
Hunters remains committed to advancing SOC automation with AI-driven investigations, automated response mechanisms, and improved AI capabilities. Pathfinder AI showcases the next evolution towards a faster, smarter, and more effective security operations center and will be available in the coming months. Further information is available on Hunters’ blog and in a webinar scheduled for March 5th, 2025.
