Vectra AI, Inc., the cybersecurity AI company that protects modern networks from modern attacks, today announced major advancements in its portfolio of artificial intelligence (AI) agents, further solidifying its leadership in cybersecurity AI innovation. These agents are built on foundational technologies that were first developed in 2018. Developed through years of data science, security research and real-world analyst expertise, these AI agents increase security teams’ productivity and workflow efficiencies, allowing analysts to detect, investigate, and respond to the most urgent and critical threats on the modern network.

The addition of Vectra AI Analyst completes Vectra AI’s agent portfolio, which now includes:
- AI Triage: Autonomously investigates past behaviors and filters out benign signals to reduce alert fatigue and ensure true positives are surfaced for action.
- AI Stitching: Correlates attacker behavior in real-time across network, identity, and cloud environments—pinpointing compromised accounts, devices and workloads to expose the full scope of an attack.
- AI Prioritization: Automatically identifies what matters most by analyzing attacker velocity, techniques, and involved privileges—so analysts can act on the most critical threats first.
- AI Analyst (now available for all Vectra AI Managed Detection and Response customers): Accelerates incident response by automating escalation workflows and investigative reporting, freeing up analyst time and driving faster resolutions.
Vectra AI’s agentic innovations trace back to 2018, enabling AI to reason, escalate, and take investigative actions autonomously—mimicking the judgment and decision-making of a seasoned human analyst. Today’s AI agents are the natural evolution of that pioneering work, purpose-built to operate at scale and under pressure in real-world security operations.
Vectra AI agents are already transforming how security teams detect and respond to threats. According to the IDC Business Value of Vectra AI Report (April 2025), organizations using Vectra AI agents saw:

- 60% less time assessing and prioritizing alerts
- 51% less time spent on alert monitoring and triage
- 50% less time spent investigating alerts
“With Vectra AI in place, the light started to turn on,” said Anton Bonifacio, CISO and CAIO at Globe Telecom. “Its automation and filtering capabilities allowed us to focus on the most important threats, which made our team more efficient and effective in our response.”
These agentic AI innovations address a critical gap in the industry. According to Vectra AI’s 2024 State of Threat Detection and Response report, 71% of Security Operations Center (SOC) practitioners worry weekly that they’ll miss a real attack hidden in a sea of alerts. Vectra AI’s agents aim to eliminate that uncertainty by thinking and acting like a trained security analyst—only faster and at scale.
“Security teams are under constant pressure to do more with less—and the volume and sophistication of attacks isn’t slowing down,” said Jeff Reed, Chief Product Officer at Vectra AI. “Our AI agents are designed to solve the problem at its core: cutting through the noise and helping analysts focus on what actually matters. This is AI purpose-built for defenders, not just automation for automation’s sake.”
These AI agents are available today as part of the Vectra AI Platform and are fully integrated across network, identity, and cloud environments.
