Solving Complex Security Operations Use Cases with the Power of AI
Today’s SOCs employ dozens of tools to help safeguard their environment from attacks and these tools generate so much noise that it’s nearly impossible for analysts to keep up. While security analysts spend countless hours performing the same tedious, time-consuming tasks over and over, they still barely scratch the surface. This model is both demoralizing and ineffective due to a reliance on human effort— a particularly scarce resource in the cyber community.
In response, SOCs are increasingly turning to AI-enhanced solutions like Radiant Security’s SOC co-pilot, for relief, aiming to empower analysts to complete their workloads and level the playing field with cyber attackers. The SOC co-pilot is an ideal fit for SOC workloads due to its scalability and ability to analyze extensive, disparate data sets. The solution is a powerful assistant whose role is to amplify analyst productivity by automating laborious tasks like alert triage and incident investigation, delivering decision-ready results. This forms the core of Radiant's innovation and the results speak for themselves:
Kyowa Kirin - Realizing Value Within Minutes
Kyowa Kirin, a global specialty pharmaceutical and biotech leader, initially purchased Radiant Security to enhance SOC analyst productivity for its North American operations. After a simple installation, Radiant’s SOC co-pilot identified and escalated a potential threat within two hours. Armed with an AI-generated incident analysis and response plan, as well as one-click remediation capabilities, Kyowa Kirin's analyst swiftly contained and resolved the threat, preventing further escalation. Eric Sanchez, Global CISO of Kyowa Kirin, said: "Radiant Security is a valuable partner, helping safeguard our organization, enabling swift and effective responses, and reinforcing our commitment to security excellence."
