7AI, a frontrunner in agentic security solutions, announced a wave of strategic updates at Black Hat 2025, signaling major advances in cybersecurity operations through fully autonomous AI agents. The highlights include cutting-edge platform features, a strategic alliance with DXC Technology, and recognition from Gartner — cementing the company’s position at the forefront of the agentic security movement.

According to 7AI, the industry is shifting from debating the potential of AI agents to accelerating their adoption to relieve overburdened security teams and enable higher-value work.

Unprecedented Growth in Under a Year

Since the platform’s official launch in February 2025, 7AI has rapidly scaled across global enterprises. Its AI agents have processed over 568,000 security alerts, saving 224,000 analyst hours — the equivalent of 112 full-time positions — and reclaiming $11.2 million in productivity. The company projects savings for customers will exceed $100 million by year’s end.

Co-Founder and CEO Lior Div emphasized that the results prove the model’s impact:

“We’ve redefined how security operations function. Leaders are no longer asking if AI agents can help — the question now is how quickly they can integrate them.”

Three Innovations Driving Autonomous Security Operations
At Black Hat 2025, 7AI unveiled three advancements that make it the first security platform capable of handling the full incident lifecycle through AI agents — from alert intake and analysis to complete remediation:

Dynamic Reasoning – Enables AI agents to autonomously investigate never-before-seen threats without relying on prebuilt playbooks, adapting investigative approaches in real time.

Enterprise Insights – Integrates an organization’s internal policies, approved applications, and user role data to contextualize alerts and reduce false positives.

Autonomous Remediation – Executes approved countermeasures such as host isolation and traffic blocking, following strict authorization protocols to shorten mean time to response (MTTR).

Partnership with DXC Technology Launches AI-Driven SOC

7AI’s collaboration with DXC Technology introduces the DXC Agentic Security Operations Center (SOC), merging DXC’s managed security expertise with 7AI’s autonomous AI agents. This integration covers the complete security chain — from alert intake to incident resolution — enhancing detection speed, accuracy, and coverage for global clients.

DXC’s SOC customers will benefit from dedicated implementation support, incident response, and breach management services, alongside access to anonymized threat intelligence that further strengthens 7AI’s detection engine.

Brian McDonough, 7AI’s CRO, noted:

“The most innovative security providers understand the future isn’t about adding headcount but combining expert analysts with autonomous AI to achieve better results.”

Proven Customer Impact

Early adopters report substantial performance gains, including response times cut from hours to minutes and near-elimination of false positives. Several customers and advisors are sharing their experiences at 7AI’s Black Hat booth (#1940).

Industry Recognition Confirms Leadership

7AI was recently named a sample vendor in Gartner’s Hype Cycle for Security Operations 2025 under the AI SOC Agents category — a space Gartner warns is being diluted by “agent washing,” where legacy tools are rebranded as AI without genuine capabilities.

Gartner estimates that of thousands of so-called “agentic AI” providers, only about 130 deliver authentic functionality. The research places AI SOC Agents at the “Peak of Inflated Expectations,” with modest current adoption but significant room for real innovation.

Nate Burke, 7AI’s CMO, said:

“While others are rebranding chatbots and automation scripts, we’ve built real agentic capabilities from the ground up. Our customers’ results prove the difference.”
