Agentic Security Operations Center (SOC)

DXC Agentic SOC is a managed security operations platform powered by 7AI that deploys autonomous AI agents to investigate security threats, respond to incidents and triage alerts 24/7 without human intervention. Rather than following predefined playbooks, the agents use dynamic reasoning to understand threats, correlate signals across your security tools and make autonomous decisions within policy guardrails you define. It's built on DXC's production environment processing 4.5 million daily alerts, giving you a battle-tested solution instead of an experimental tool.

DXC Agentic SOC achieves 70 percent faster response by using swarming agents that investigate threats in parallel rather than sequentially. When an alert arrives, specialized agents simultaneously analyze endpoint data, cloud logs, identity signals and network behavior — something that would normally require hours of manual work. The reasoning engine makes decisions in minutes using MITRE ATT&CK framework logic. Compared to traditional MDR providers that take 1-4 hours per investigation, Agentic SOC compresses investigations to minutes, directly reducing the time attackers have inside your network.

Traditional SOAR and security information and event management (SIEM) solutions require humans to investigate every alert and rely on playbooks your team writes and maintains. DXC Agentic SOC replaces the analyst bottleneck entirely through autonomous reasoning that adapts to novel threats without playbooks. Unlike co-pilots that help analysts work faster, the agents for our SOC as a service work 24/7 independently. Unlike hyperautomation that still requires workflow maintenance, our agents reason about unknown threats on the fly. DXC is Customer Zero—we run this in production on our 140,000-person enterprise, giving you proven results, not theory.

Organizations struggle with overwhelming alert volume where analysts spend 80-95 percent of their time on low-value Tier 1 triage. Dwell time stretches to weeks while threats escalate inside networks, increasing breach costs and regulatory exposure. Tool fragmentation means alerts from SIEM, EDR, cloud and identity systems are manually correlated by humans. Staffing shortages make hiring relief analysts impossible. DXC Agentic SOC for enterprises eliminates these bottlenecks by automating triage, compressing investigation time, correlating signals across tools and providing 24/7 expert-level coverage without hiring.

The alert volume problem has become unsustainable. Traditional staffing models cannot keep pace with threat sophistication and volume growth. Dwell time directly impacts breach cost — every hour an attacker remains inside your network multiplies damage. Regulatory bodies now expect rapid detection and response, making slow investigation a compliance liability. AI reasoning technology has matured enough to handle real-world complexity without constant human oversight. Forward-thinking organizations are moving from "more analysts" to "smarter agents" because the math of manual operations simply does not work anymore.

Performing in its part as an agentic AI security operations platform, every agent action operates within customer-defined policy guardrails — escalation authority, containment actions and response boundaries are set by you. Full auditability is built in natively, not bolted on, so compliance teams can trace every decision and action. Investigations maintain forensic integrity for incident response teams. All alert enrichment and investigation logic respects data residency and regulatory requirements. DXC remains accountable for outcomes, unlike tools where vendors blame your configuration. This transparency and governance make Agentic SOC suitable for regulated industries like financial services, healthcare, and government.

DXC Agentic SOC extends your current stack rather than replacing it. It works with CrowdStrike, SentinelOne, Microsoft Defender, Splunk, Wiz, AWS and other tools already in production. Agents ingest alerts, logs and signals from existing platforms, correlate them, investigate and report findings back through unified dashboards. No rip-and-replace required. Your current investments in SIEM, SOAR and EDR remain valuable. Data flows between systems seamlessly, giving your teams a unified view of investigations. This flexibility ensures you maintain optionality and control over your security technology ecosystem.

Yes. Unlike SOAR platforms that depend on predefined playbooks, Agentic SOC uses dynamic reasoning against the MITRE ATT&CK framework. When a novel threat or zero-day attack occurs, agents analyze the threat's behavior patterns, techniques and tactics in real-time to determine if it represents genuine risk. They do not require a playbook to be written first. The reasoning engine adapts to new attack techniques automatically without manual updates. This adaptability is critical because new threats emerge faster than security teams can write and test playbook rules.

DXC Agentic SOC generates ROI through multiple channels: 70 percent reduction in mean time to respond cuts breach investigation costs; 80 percent-plus reduction in dwell time directly lowers breach impact cost, per IBM benchmarks; 95 percent reduction in analyst handling effort frees experienced staff for strategic work instead of burnout-inducing triage; 24/7 autonomous coverage eliminates analyst headcount scaling as threats increase. Across the 7AI customer base, organizations have reclaimed 224,000 analyst hours (equivalent to 112 full-time years and 11.2 million dollars in productivity). Actual ROI depends on your current staffing, incident volume and breach risk profile.
