6 Ways AI Improves Security Operations
Security Operations Centers (SOCs) are under constant pressure. Alert volumes continue to grow, skilled talent remains in short supply, and threat actors continue to slip by security controls. Meanwhile, security leaders are expected to do more with less – less time, less staff, and less room for error.
Agentic AI isn’t just a buzzword for 2025 – it’s proving to be a powerful ally for detection and response teams. Here are six ways Embed is changing the game for security operations.
1. Investigate 100% of Alerts
Response teams struggle to review every alert that enters their SOC. Even the best analysts can only process a fraction of the alerts received. Embed’s agentic AI operates continuously without tiring, investigating every single alert to ensure complete coverage. This fundamental shift eliminates dangerous security blind spots that threat actors routinely exploit.
2. Reduce Alert Fatigue and Analyst Burnout
When analysts are buried under repetitive, low-value alerts, morale drops and so does security triage efficacy. Embed’s security platform dramatically reduces alert noise – so much so that we call it “security noise cancellation™.” Embed’s autonomous agents eliminate the time-consuming drudgery of triage, freeing security teams to focus on more meaningful, rewarding and strategic endeavors like threat hunting, conducting deeper forensic investigations, or even improving overall security workflow processes. The result? A smarter, happier and more innovative SOC.
3. Enable SOC Teams to Punch Above Their Weight
Because the industry faces a meta shortage of skilled detection and response professionals, many organizations have to manage SecOps with small teams. Knowing this, Embed encodes their security expertise and recall when needed during triage, enabling smaller teams to efficiently and effectively perform the same volume of investigation and threat detection workflows of much larger teams.
4. Tackle False Positives – More Needles and Less Hay
One of the biggest challenges facing detection and response teams comes down to prioritization of alerts requiring immediate attention and less consequential, including false positives. Most AI-driven security solutions are built with off-the-shelf technology, and are not tuned for cybersecurity environments. In turn, this leads to questionable results and in many cases, more noise, not less. By contrast, Embed incorporates a unique approach to training AI agents for alert investigations in real-world cyberthreat environments. In return, analysts using Embed get “de-noised,” high-priority alerts that others fail to deliver.
5. Analysts Learn When We Show Our Work
Since elementary school, we all learned to show our work. AI in the SOC should be no different. Rather than functioning as a black box, Embed’s agentic security platform offers unmatched transparency into how decisions are made. Embed explains the “why” behind each decision – what data was analyzed, what behaviors and artifacts were flagged, what investigative steps (iSteps) were applied. Analysts learn from each Embed investigation, providing investigative transparency while improving analyst skills and intuition over time.
6. Improve Response Times with Context-Rich Information
When it comes to a security incident, speed matters. Embed doesn’t just analyze alerts faster, it helps accelerate the entire response lifecycle. With lightning-fast analysis, Embed moves through alert triage effortlessly, empowering response teams to act decisively and more quickly than ever before.
Conclusion
Agentic AI is no longer just a “science project;” it’s becoming essential. By removing the noise, scaling teams’ capabilities and accelerating response, Embed gives defenders the upper hand. It’s not about replacing analysts – it’s about giving them new superpowers.
If you are not looking at Embed to turbocharge your security operations, now’s the time to start.
