### AI overview

This article describes an Agentic SOC that uses AI agents and a continuous streaming architecture to investigate security alerts. Its pipeline combines central triage, specialized evidence agents, adversarial evaluation, and a self-learning knowledge base to analyze every alert, escalate higher-value cases, and surface true positives for analyst review. The approach is intended to address the backlog of low-priority alerts, including Data Loss Prevention alerts, whose volume makes manual investigation impractical.
