AI Security Capabilities
AI-Powered Security
KYRA AI MDR integrates advanced AI capabilities throughout the security operations workflow, providing automated analysis, investigation assistance, and proactive threat detection.
Overview
The platform employs 12 specialized AI agents, each focused on a specific security domain. These agents work together to analyze alerts, investigate incidents, hunt for threats, and provide actionable intelligence — reducing analyst workload and accelerating response times.
AI Agent Roles
| Agent | Function |
|---|---|
| Threat Hunter | IOC pattern recognition, MITRE ATT&CK technique mapping, proactive search |
| OSINT Investigator | External intelligence gathering, domain/IP enrichment, reputation checks |
| Incident Responder | Playbook execution, evidence collection, containment recommendations |
| Vulnerability Researcher | Exposure scanning, patch prioritization, exploit risk assessment |
| Forensic Analyst | Timeline reconstruction, root cause analysis, artifact examination |
| Compliance Auditor | Regulatory mapping, evidence trails, compliance gap identification |
| Malware Analyst | Static/dynamic analysis coordination, sandbox integration, behavioral classification |
| Dark Web Monitor | Underground forum tracking, breach alerts, credential exposure monitoring |
| Strategic Intel | Campaign tracking, APT attribution, geopolitical threat context |
| Network Detective | Lateral movement detection, C2 pattern identification, network forensics |
| Identity Investigator | User/entity behavior analytics, privilege escalation detection, insider threat identification |
| Threat Research Lead | Multi-agent investigation orchestration, cross-domain analysis coordination |
How AI Analysis Works
Cost-Optimized Model Routing
The platform intelligently routes analysis tasks to the appropriate AI model tier:
| Task Type | Model Tier | Use Case |
|---|---|---|
| Triage | Lightweight | High-volume alert classification, severity scoring, false positive filtering |
| Investigation | Standard | Alert enrichment, context analysis, pattern matching, IOC correlation |
| Attribution | Advanced | APT campaign attribution, complex incident analysis, executive threat briefings |
This tiered approach keeps costs predictable while ensuring that complex threats receive the deep analysis they require.
Agent Memory
AI agents maintain context across investigations:
- Short-term: Current investigation context with automatic expiry
- Working memory: Case files and evidence artifacts per incident
- Long-term: Threat intelligence patterns, IOC relationships, historical attack context
- Collective memory: Cross-agent shared findings for coordinated investigations
Integration Points
Data Sources
AI agents analyze data from all connected sources:
- Log collector events (firewall, EDR, syslog, Windows Events)
- NDR network detections
- Cloud sensor alerts
- Third-party connector data (Splunk, CrowdStrike, Elastic)
- External threat intelligence feeds
Outputs
- Enriched alert context and severity adjustments
- Investigation timelines and root cause analysis
- Automated playbook recommendations
- Compliance evidence mapping
- Executive-ready threat reports
Threat Intelligence Integration
AI agents leverage multiple threat intelligence sources:
| Feed | Used By |
|---|---|
| VirusTotal | Malware Analyst |
| Shodan | OSINT Investigator |
| MISP (community IOCs) | Strategic Intel |
| Recorded Future | Strategic Intel |
| NVD / ExploitDB | Vulnerability Researcher |
| Abuse.ch | Threat Hunter |
Cross-Agent Coordination
For complex incidents, the Threat Research Lead orchestrates multi-agent investigations:
- Initial Triage — Alert Triage agent classifies severity and identifies relevant domains
- Parallel Analysis — Specialized agents investigate simultaneously (threat hunter + OSINT + network detective)
- Findings Synthesis — Research Lead aggregates findings across agents
- Response Recommendation — Incident Responder generates containment and remediation steps
- Documentation — Compliance Auditor maps findings to regulatory requirements
This coordinated approach ensures that complex threats are analyzed from every angle without requiring manual orchestration by analysts.
