Use Case

SOC Copilots in the Loop

Let agents investigate SIEM alerts with read-only access to logs and assets via agent harness and its tools — escalate findings with full reasoning trails. You write the prompts and workflows; Adaptive provides the harness, tools, MCP registry, networking, and guardrails.

The problem

Security teams are overwhelmed by alert volume. AI agents can help triage and investigate alerts, but giving them access to security telemetry, endpoint data, and network logs without guardrails creates a new attack surface — a compromised triage agent becomes an insider threat with visibility across the entire security stack.

11,000+

average daily security alerts that enterprise SOC teams must process, with most being false positives

68%

of security alerts go uninvestigated due to analyst fatigue and resource constraints

277 days

average time to identify and contain a breach — faster triage directly reduces dwell time

Triage agents need enough access to investigate effectively but must be constrained from accessing data outside the alert scope. Without proper scoping, a compromised triage agent can map your entire security posture.

The solution

Read-only, scope-limited access for security triage agents

Adaptive provides the harness, tools, MCP registry, networking, and guardrails — read-only access to logs and security assets scoped to the specific alert being investigated. You provide the prompts and workflows. Every investigation step the agent takes is logged inside Exo policy envelope with full reasoning trails, creating reviewable evidence chains.

Benefits

How Adaptive helps

Read-Only Investigation

Triage agents get read-only access to relevant logs, endpoints, and network data. They can investigate but never modify or delete evidence.

Configure read-only access policies per data source — SIEM, EDR, network logs — ensuring agents can investigate without risk of evidence tampering.

Alert-Scoped Access

Access is scoped to the specific alert context — time window, affected assets, and related telemetry. Agents cannot browse beyond the investigation scope.

Write the prompts and workflows that drive the agent. Exo enforces scoping rules that map alert metadata to access boundaries, so the workflow you authored cannot see beyond the investigation it was scoped to.

Reasoning Trails

Every investigation step, hypothesis, and conclusion is captured in a structured reasoning trail. Analysts can review the agent's logic before acting on findings.

Export reasoning trails to your case management system for analyst review, enabling human-in-the-loop validation of agent findings.

Escalation Controls

Agents can escalate findings to human analysts with full context but cannot take remediation actions. Severity-based routing ensures the right analyst reviews each escalation.

Configure escalation thresholds and routing rules per alert type. High-severity findings go to senior analysts with full investigation context.
