Blackpoint Cyber has introduced an AI SOC Agent designed for Identity Threat Detection and Response (ITDR), which autonomously addresses credential-based attacks targeting Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace accounts. The agent can contain such attacks in an average of under two minutes, with response times as low as 21 seconds. This development comes as identity security issues escalate, with attackers increasingly focusing on user accounts and cloud applications. The AI SOC Agent operates under a hybrid model, combining AI with human oversight, ensuring that only high-confidence threats trigger autonomous actions. Blackpoint's new capability is included across all ITDR service tiers at no additional cost, aiming to enhance response efficiency while maintaining SOC involvement in critical decisions.
