ReliaQuest unveils AI teammates to boost predictive security
ReliaQuest has announced the launch of GreyMatter Agentic Teammates, a set of autonomous, role-based artificial intelligence agents designed to scale security operations teams and enhance predictive security measures.
GreyMatter Agentic Teammates build on the capabilities of ReliaQuest's existing GreyMatter platform, which enables customers to detect and contain cyber threats within minutes. These new AI agents are designed to assume specific roles found within security operations teams, such as Threat Intelligence Researchers, Detection Engineers and Threat Hunters. According to ReliaQuest, this approach significantly reduces routine manual tasks and enables teams to focus on higher-value activities that protect business interests and anticipate new threats.
AI-powered roles
ReliaQuest stated that GreyMatter Agentic Teammates were developed based on more than 15 years of experience working alongside enterprise security teams and integrating with a wide array of security technologies. These AI agents operate on the GreyMatter platform, which, using its native Agentic AI, can already perform threat investigations 75% faster than traditional methods and achieve a 99.4% accuracy rating on malicious activity.
The introduction of role-specific Agentic Teammates is intended to allow security teams to deploy highly specialised virtual assistance instantly, with no additional ramp-up time or steep learning curve. The agents run continuously, without the fatigue or availability constraints that affect human staff, and are designed to integrate with customers' existing security tools and workflows.
"Security is a team sport," said ReliaQuest Founder and CEO Brian Murphy. "GreyMatter Agentic Teammates make security experts exponential, eliminating the noise and the monotonous routine work that is below their skill level and freeing them up to get more predictive – training for the future, researching to stay ahead of threats and advising the business."
Agentic Teammates are designed to collaborate both with each other and with human professionals. For instance, if a security lead wants up-to-date information on threats relevant to their sector, they can instruct the Threat Intel Teammate to conduct wide-reaching research across open, deep and dark web sources and threat feeds. Should a new threat be discovered, this information can be immediately propagated to other Agentic Teammates. The Threat Hunter Teammate can then rapidly determine if the threat has ever affected the organisation, and the Detection Teammate can implement new defensive measures and automated responses to mitigate risk. All findings are delivered promptly to the security team to inform business guidance.
User perspectives
Justin Dellaportas, Chief Information Security Officer at Syniverse, commented on how the shift to AI-powered teammates impacts his organisation's security objectives.
"This is a game-changer for the cybersecurity industry," said Justin Dellaportas, CISO at Syniverse. "We can now free up our talented cyber professionals from repetitive tasks, like log analysis, so they can focus on work that propels Syniverse forward. Agentic AI and the new GreyMatter Agentic Teammates will level up our teams to allow them to think ahead, not just react."
Towards predictive security
ReliaQuest believes these developments enable security operations to move from reactive to predictive modes. With the aid of these autonomous AI-based roles, security teams are expected to have improved capabilities for modelling risks, understanding organisational vulnerabilities, and planning long-term defence strategies. GreyMatter Agentic Teammates work autonomously and are continually available, supporting organisations in managing increasing security demands without significantly expanding human resource requirements.
The GreyMatter platform, according to ReliaQuest, connects telemetry from cloud, multi-cloud and on-premises environments, helping organisations detect, contain, investigate, and respond to threats quickly and efficiently. The company says this technology eliminates the need for routine Tier 1 and Tier 2 security operations tasks and customises outcomes to suit diverse industry needs and technical infrastructures.
