Elastic Launches AlertZero AI Agents for SOC Alert Overload
AlertZero runs four agent groups inside Elastic Security and is available now as a technical preview on Elastic Cloud, self-managed, and air-gapped setups.
Elastic announced AlertZero, a team of AI agents built into Elastic Security that is designed to reduce alert overload in security operations centers. The company is releasing it as a technical preview.
AlertZero covers alert triage, threat hunting, and forensic analysis, and is organized into four agent groups: Triage Watch, Hunt Watch, Detection Watch, and Forensic Watch.
Customers set how far the automation can go, down to the level of an individual task. According to the company, human approval is required when judgment is unclear, even at the highest autonomy setting.
The technical preview is available on Elastic Cloud, in self-managed deployments, and in air-gapped environments.
Mike Nichols is named among the entities associated with the announcement, which was covered by SiliconANGLE.
Long-running pressure on SOC teams
SOC teams have long struggled with more alerts than analysts can handle, a problem compounded by false positives.
