Mitiga Helios AI Boosts SecOps Alert Triage & Incident Response
▼ Summary
– Mitiga launched Helios AI, an AI-powered SOC assistant that enhances SecOps teams with automated triage, investigation, and threat remediation in multi-cloud environments.
– The first feature, AI Insights, reduces alert noise, achieving 90% faster triage and 70x faster alert close rates.
– Helios AI improves operational efficiency, reduces risk, and speeds up threat detection and response (MTTD/MTTR) by eliminating manual workflows.
– The platform is built from the ground up, integrated with Mitiga’s CDR platform, and leverages real-time AI analysis for accuracy and analyst empowerment.
– Mitiga’s research highlights top cloud threats, such as identity intrusions and supply chain attacks, which Helios AI helps mitigate with smarter, scalable solutions.
Security operations teams grappling with overwhelming alert volumes now have a powerful new ally, Mitiga’s Helios AI. This intelligent SOC assistant transforms threat detection and response by automating critical workflows, slashing investigation times, and cutting through the noise of false positives. The platform’s debut feature, AI Insights, demonstrates remarkable efficiency gains, enabling teams to triage alerts 90% faster and resolve incidents 70 times quicker than traditional methods.
Built exclusively for multi-cloud environments, Helios AI integrates seamlessly with Mitiga’s cloud detection and response (CDR) platform, leveraging a security data lake and real-time AI analysis. Unlike bolt-on AI solutions, it was engineered from the ground up to address the unique challenges of modern infrastructure, dramatically improving mean time to detect (MTTD) and mean time to respond (MTTR). By filtering out irrelevant alerts and prioritizing genuine threats, it allows security professionals to focus on high-impact risks across cloud and SaaS ecosystems.
Mitiga’s CTO, Ofer Maor, emphasizes that Helios AI isn’t just automation, it’s designed to think like an analyst. “Accuracy and efficiency drive everything we’ve built,” he explains. “This technology eliminates guesswork, reduces false positives, and gives teams back the time they need to combat sophisticated threats.”
The platform’s effectiveness is backed by research from Mitiga Labs, which identifies emerging attack vectors in cloud and SaaS environments. Their latest report, The Next Breach Path, highlights critical threats, including:
- Identity-based intrusions: Attackers exploit stolen credentials from underground markets to bypass authentication.Brian Contos, Mitiga’s Field CISO, stresses that modern security teams need intelligence, not just tools. “Helios AI tackles the real pain points—alert fatigue, staffing shortages, and the relentless pace of threats,” he says. “It’s about augmenting human expertise with AI that scales seamlessly across complex cloud and SaaS landscapes.”Now available as part of Mitiga’s unified security platform, Helios AI represents a leap forward in operationalizing AI for cyber defense—helping organizations stay ahead of adversaries without overwhelming their teams.
