Hunters Announces New AI Capabilities with Pathfinder AI for Smarter SOC Automation
BOSTON, March 05, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Hunters, a leader in next-generation SIEM, today announced Pathfinder AI, an advancement designed for AI-driven Security Operations Centers (SOCs). This new platform integrates both Copilot AI and Agentic AI to autonomously enhance threat detection, investigation, and response, building upon the features already offered to improve efficiency and response times.
Pathfinder AI expands Hunters’ vision for AI-driven SOCs, introducing Agentic AI for autonomous investigation and response and enhancing analyst workflows.
Pathfinder AI builds on Copilot AI, which is already transforming SOC workflows with LLM-powered investigation guidance. Agentic AI is designed to autonomously enhance threat detection, investigation, and response. According to the company, Agentic AI will launch soon, with ongoing innovations to further streamline 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 at 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.”
How AI is Shaping the Future of Security Operations
Security investigations are often complex, with each alert potentially triggering numerous investigative steps, which can overwhelm security analysts. Traditional automation methods may follow rigid, pre-defined workflows, which can lead to analysts chasing false leads while genuine threats remain undetected. Agentic AI dynamically adapts and prioritizes critical threats, allowing security teams to focus on efficiency.
To stay ahead of evolving threats, SOCs need two key AI-driven capabilities that Hunters is providing:
- Copilot AI – Designed to enhance analyst workflows with automated data analysis, report generation, and guided investigations.
- Agentic AI – Provides autonomous threat detection, investigation, and response, reducing manual workloads and accelerating decision-making.
By leveraging specialized AI agents that collaborate in real time, security teams can efficiently move beyond manual triage and fragmented investigations.
Hunters Pathfinder AI: A New Approach to Automation
Hunters was founded with the vision of integrating analyst intelligence into the SIEM, automating triage, and maximizing efficiency. The company’s experience in refining AI-driven security operations positions it to lead the AI-driven SOC transformation, leveraging its expertise to deliver automation at scale. As Pathfinder AI continues to evolve, Hunters is expanding its capabilities in two key areas:
- AI-Assisted SOC with Copilot AI
- Lead Summarization – AI-generated summaries that provide analysts with immediate and comprehensive context on security events.
- Guided Investigation Workflows – Suggests next steps across the entire attack surface to improve workflows.
- Natural Language Querying – Enables SOC analysts to interact with the system using conversational AI to retrieve insights efficiently.
- Custom Detection Authoring – Helps analysts refine detections with guided logic and iterative fine-tuning.
- Threat Classification – AI evaluates signals and context to determine whether a threat is benign or malicious, reducing manual triage time.
- AI-Driven SOC with Agentic AI
- Autonomous Triage and Classification – AI-driven agents investigate every threat, classifying incidents and providing full investigation reports.
- Self-Optimizing Detections – Machine learning models continuously refine detection accuracy based on real-world attack data.
- Automated Root Cause Analysis – AI correlates attack signals across multiple sources to provide full attack narratives.
“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 at 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 Road Ahead
Hunters is committed to expanding its capabilities with AI-driven investigations, automated response mechanisms, and deeper AI capabilities. Pathfinder AI represents a step toward a faster, smarter, and a more effective security operations center and will be delivered in the coming months.
