Arctic Wolf Networks - Experts & Thought Leaders

Arctic Wolf®, the cybersecurity and AI company, announces the availability of the new Aurora Agentic SOC™. This new offering redefines the SOC operating model by placing AI at the core, shifting from a legacy human-led approach to an agent-driven model that delivers better outcomes and stronger ROI for IT and security leaders. Built on the Aurora® Superintelligence Platform, the Aurora Agentic SOC combines Arctic Wolf’s pioneering Concierge Experience™ with turnkey agentic AI, significantly reducing the cost, complexity, and uncertainty that are slowing AI adoption across cybersecurity teams. Ready-made solution Security leaders know that the industry is at an inflection point. AI-powered attackers are placing increasing pressure on already stretched IT and security teams, fueling burnout and turnover. Agentic AI has the potential to solve this problem, but operationalising it remains one of the most difficult challenges in cybersecurity today. Only 30 percent of cybersecurity teams have integrated AI security tools into operations, according to a recent survey by ISC2. Furthermore, industry data demonstrates that organisations lack the necessary skillsets to unlock the technology’s full potential. Integrating AI in security operations in a meaningful way requires major investments in AI teams, tools, and models while also adding operational burden across IT, security and operations teams who need to build, operate and govern the technology stack. Without a ready-made solution that works out of the box, teams will continue to be outpaced by adversaries in an accelerating threat landscape, and agentic SOC adoption will never fully take off across the industry. Automating SOC workflows Today, Arctic Wolf is solving this problem with the launch of the Aurora Agentic SOC™, a fully turnkey solution. The Aurora SOC introduces a new model for security operations—outperforming the legacy human-led approach while delivering industry-pioneer ROI and immediate time to value. At Arctic Wolf, all SOC workflows are powered by agent-led operations through the Swarm of Experts™, which implements a three-tier agentic model. Because all agents are part of the swarm, they run on and inherit the safety, reliability and trust features of the Aurora Superintelligence Platform. The Swarm of Experts is made up of three types of agents—Oversight Agents, Authoritative Agents, and Process Agents—each designed to play a specific role in managing, executing, and automating SOC workflows. Oversight Agents —the Swarm Orchestrator and the Swarm Judge — oversee operations, coordinate activity and validate results. Authoritative Agents use their domain expertise to plan, adapt and execute SOC tasks end-to-end, while keeping humans both in the loop and on the loop. At launch, the following Authoritative Agents have been released: triage, investigation, response, threat hunting, proactive security, risk management, and context management. Process Agents perform agentic SOAR tasks, driving efficiency and predictability by automating repetitive, well-understood SOC tasks. At launch, Arctic Wolf has hundreds of process agents working to eliminate toil for analysts so they can spend more time focusing on high-value and proactive work. Unverified AI actions Arctic Wolf’s turnkey Agentic SOC delivers all agentic capabilities as built-in features, eliminating the need for teams to plan, build, or operate their own agentic SOC. This not only simplifies and accelerates adoption but also brings the intelligence, data, and expertise of the world’s largest commercial SOC into a single deployment—driving fast, efficient, and reliable outcomes. Customers gain the full benefits of agentic security—reasoning, orchestration, autonomy—without needing to configure anything or worry about unverified AI actions. Because the AI is native to the platform, not bolted on, teams avoid the complexity and unpredictable costs of a do-it-yourself approach. AI-driven security operations Working with Arctic Wolf, organisations also benefit from world-class threat intelligence, incident response insights, and powerful network effects drawn from more than 10,000 customers, creating a continuously improving, trusted source of truth for AI-driven security operations. Arctic Wolf was the first to introduce a full lifecycle Concierge Experience—and the Aurora SOC strengthens that model. Proactive risk reduction The automation delivered by the Aurora Agentic SOC frees the Concierge Security Team and their customers to focus on higher value tasks, security strategy, and proactive risk reduction. The concierge model now extends to the agentic SOC as the swarm ingests, maintains, and applies customer specific context from onboarding through day to day operations, ensuring that AI driven decisions reflect each organisation’s unique environment and business context. Customers will continue working with their Concierge Security Team just as they do today, while also benefiting from AI that simplifies day-to-day operations, enables greater self-service, and enhances the overall customer experience. SOC performance improvements With these advancements, Arctic Wolf is delivering marked SOC performance improvements – while customers continue to average just one ticket per day, we resolve cases 15× faster with 3× higher-quality tickets and can deploy a fully turnkey agentic SOC in as little as 10 days. “Customers are clear: They’re frustrated with AI and agentic SOC solutions that are complex to deploy, difficult to operationalise, and impossible to fully trust. What organisations really want is a partner who unlocks AI’s benefits for them—with a turnkey, built-in, and accessible approach. That’s exactly what the Aurora SOC delivers,” said Nick Schneider, president and chief executive officer, Arctic Wolf. Overall customer experience “This breakthrough unlocks the true potential of AI for cybersecurity,” said Dan Schiappa, president of technology and services, Arctic Wolf. “Most AI solutions simply automate pieces of the old SOC model. We rebuilt the SOC from the ground up for the AI era—eliminating the guesswork around agents. The result is a safer, smarter, more powerful SOC that delivers trustworthy outcomes at scale. The AI Powered Aurora SOC is a fundamentally different model for security operations—purpose built for modern AI, not adapted from a legacy, human led design.” Security strategy and operations “Security teams are dealing with increasingly sophisticated, AI-driven threats while resources remain constrained,” said Greg Berard, chief executive officer of Pellera Technologies. “Arctic Wolf’s Aurora Agentic SOC represents a meaningful shift from traditional, human-led models. By combining AI-driven automation with a fully managed approach, Pellera helps organisations build momentum with their security strategy and operations. When paired with Pellera’s services-led approach across identity, data resilience, and threat exposure management, we’re able to deliver a fully operationalised security outcome without the overhead of building and managing it themselves.” The Arctic Wolf Aurora Agentic SOC is available today as part of our Security Operations Bundles and Aurora Managed Endpoint Security. Current Arctic Wolf customers and MSPs using those solutions will automatically receive the new capabilities at no additional cost.

Arctic Wolf®, a pioneer in security operations, announces it has acquired Sevco Security, an innovator in exposure assessment platforms. Sevco’s cloud-native technology will operate on the Arctic Wolf Aurora Platform, unifying asset intelligence, vulnerability context, and security control coverage to help organisations continuously identify and prioritise exposures across hybrid environments. In the 2025 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Exposure Assessment Platforms, Sevco Security was named a Visionary. Proactive security posture As organisations look to move from reactive defence to a more proactive security posture, exposure management has become a critical capability. Security teams cannot get ahead of threats without a clear, continuously updated understanding of what assets exist, how they are exposed, and which weaknesses pose the most significant risk to their resilience. Sevco was built to address this challenge by providing an authoritative system-of-record for assets and exposures, helping teams move from static vulnerability lists to prioritised, outcome-driven action. “You cannot take a proactive approach to security without managing exposure and risk,” said Dan Schiappa, president of technology and services, Arctic Wolf. “In our view Sevco’s recognition as a Visionary by Gartner validates the approach they have taken to asset intelligence and exposure assessment. By adding Sevco to Arctic Wolf’s portfolio of solutions, we intend to give customers and MSPs the clarity and context they need to act earlier, prioritise effectively, and verify that risk is being reduced.” Expanding attack surfaces The shift toward proactive security is driving increased demand for exposure management as organisations contend with expanding attack surfaces and rising operational risk. In the 2025 Gartner Magic Quadrant™ for Exposure Assessment Platforms, Gartner predicts, “By 2027, organisations that integrate exposure assessment data into IT and business workflows will experience 30 percent less unplanned downtime from exploited vulnerabilities than those relying on isolated vulnerability management tools.” Creating powerful complement The addition of Sevco Security to the Aurora Platform creates a powerful complement to Arctic Wolf Managed Risk, giving customers a unified, real-time perspective on assets and exposures across their attack surfaces. Together, these capabilities provide end to end visibility, smarter prioritisation informed by exposure context, and streamlined remediation workflows that help organisations advance toward truly proactive security—all without adding operational complexity. “Sevco was built to give security teams an authoritative, real-time view of every asset and exposure,” said J.J. Guy, chief executive officer and co-founder, Sevco Security. “Joining Arctic Wolf accelerates our mission and brings our platform’s strengths to organisations that need unified visibility, smarter prioritisation, and verifiable remediation as part of their security operations.”
