A New Era in Incident Response: AI-Driven Agents Contain Threats in Minutes

The traditional incident response model, reliant on manual triage and analyst availability, is no longer sufficient to counter the evolving threat landscape. Modern attacks, often malware-free and socially engineered, can bypass security gateways and cloud protections, making it essential to redefine post-delivery threat containment. Keepnet, an AI-powered Extended Human Risk Management (xHRM) platform, has launched AI-Driven Incident Response Agents that analyze, decide, act, and continuously learn to contain employee-reported threats within minutes.

The Limitations of Traditional Incident Response

Most organizations have security gateways, cloud protections, and phishing reporting buttons in place, yet phishing, Business Email Compromise (BEC), and credential-based threats continue to reach inboxes. Traditional incident response was designed for malware outbreaks and endpoint alerts, not for the sophisticated, identity-driven threats of today. The conventional workflow, which involves manual investigation across multiple tools, delayed response, and inconsistent decision-making, creates a post-delivery control gap.

Introducing the AI Post-Delivery Response Layer

Keepnet’s AI-Driven Incident Response Agents operate as an autonomous post-delivery incident response layer that sits above existing security platforms. This layer converts employee reporting into high-confidence response actions, resolving the majority of reported incidents autonomously while improving over time. Unlike traditional incident response automation, Keepnet’s AI agents execute the full response cycle: analyzing indicators with 20+ intelligence sources, applying policy and confidence thresholds, removing malicious emails tenant-wide, notifying users and SOC, triggering investigations, and adapting continuously based on analyst classification and feedback.

A New Approach to Incident Response

Keepnet’s AI agents are designed to resolve incidents immediately, with evidence, governance, and learning. This approach delivers autonomous investigation at scale, policy-based decision-making, proportionate containment with human control, and continuous improvement from analyst feedback. By containing threats within minutes, Keepnet reduces the likelihood and impact of credential incidents, lowers SOC workload, and provides material financial impact, with organizations using extensive AI in breach response shown to reduce breach costs by $1.9M.

Trust, Governance, and Human Control

Keepnet’s AI agents are designed for enterprise governance, with data minimization and masking before processing, customer data never used for AI training, and full auditability and human-in-the-loop approvals. Automation remains explainable, defensible, and controlled, ensuring that humans are always in the loop.

“Traditional incident response was never designed for today’s post-delivery, identity-driven threats,” said Ozan Ucar, Founder and CEO of Keepnet. “Security teams don’t need more alerts or more manual triage. They need AI agents that can investigate across dozens of tools within seconds, contain threats within minutes, and continuously learn — while keeping humans in full control.”

By redefining post-delivery threat containment, Keepnet delivers a fundamentally new post-delivery response layer with measurable operational impact.
