Case 02
Security Operations / Agentic SOC
A security platform is adding agents that triage alerts, investigate incidents, enrich signals, disable users, block IPs, isolate endpoints, and escalate threats.
01 Situation
Where Semantiv helps.
Semantiv controls the boundary between investigation and response. The agent may investigate freely, but disruptive actions must pass through a runtime decision point.
The promise is faster response. The risk is uncontrolled remediation across users, infrastructure, and privileged systems.

02 Actions
Example actions
-
01enrich alert context -
02query identity logs -
03mark alert as benign -
04disable user account -
05isolate endpoint -
06block IP address -
07revoke token -
08escalate incident
Example gates
-
01alert severity meets threshold -
02affected asset is in scope -
03identity confidence is high enough -
04corroborating evidence exists -
05action is reversible or approved -
06escalation required for privileged systems -
07human approval required for disruptive response
03 Record
Decision record.
Security teams can move toward agentic response without giving agents unchecked operational power.
Decision record Escalate
- Action
- Disable user account j.smith
- Decision
- Escalate
- Reason
- Suspicious login detected. Endpoint evidence incomplete. User is in executive group.
- Outcome
- Incident escalated to analyst. Account remains active pending review.
Next step
Turn one risky workflow into a reviewable control model.
Use this case shape as a starting point: identify the action, define what it means, attach evidence, find authority, and preserve the decision record.
