Agentic AI Architecture
The Secure360 platform utilizes AI Agents to conduct intricate, multi-step security operations
At the heart of Camelot Secure's success is its proof-of-concept integration featuring an agentic AI architecture. This system allows security teams to shift from reactive actions to automated, intelligence-driven cybersecurity processes. The Secure360 platform utilizes AI Agents to conduct intricate, multi-step security operations.
Core components of the architecture include:
- Orchestration Agent - Handles natural language requests and assigns them to the correct security workflow.
- Agentic AI Workflows - These are advanced AI agents tasked with automating threat hunting, data gathering, and infrastructure management operations.
Improving Incident Response
This advanced architecture empowers organizations to automate repetitive security duties, shorten analysis periods, and enhance both detection and response efficiencies. Stan Oliver, CEO of Camelot Secure, commented, "This recognition reflects a major shift in cybersecurity—organizations are actively looking for ways to automate threat hunting, reduce SOC workload, and improve incident response with AI. With Secure360, we're using agentic AI and orchestration to automate multi-step security workflows, giving teams faster detection, less manual effort, and more accurate threat response."
