DXC, 7AI launch global AI security service to boost efficiency
DXC Technology and 7AI have launched a global strategic partnership that will see the deployment of an AI-powered security operations service across DXC's worldwide customer base. The new initiative, called DXC Agentic Security Operations Centre (SOC), aims to automate core security operations through the integration of 7AI's agentic platform. The two firms stated the platform will reduce manual processing bottlenecks, offering potential time savings of 30 minutes to 2.5 hours per investigation, while significantly lowering false positive rates that typically demand substantial analyst resources. Operational efficiency gains According to data from 7AI, the platform processed more than 568,000 alerts and saved security teams 224,000 analyst hours in 2025 alone, which is equivalent to 112 years of analyst work and an estimated USD $11.2 million in productivity gains for users. DXC Technology will integrate 7AI's technology into its own managed security services globally, providing autonomous AI agents throughout processes including alert ingestion, risk investigation, and incident remediation. The platform's capabilities are intended to extend beyond simple automation, offering what DXC and 7AI describe as a fundamental change to how managed security is delivered. The use of autonomous agents is designed to scale coverage, offer faster response times, and reduce operational costs for organisations facing an increasing volume of cyber threats. "The use of AI enhances security efforts by boosting efficiency, augmenting human skills, and enabling SOCs to scale and deliver greater value in the face of growing cyber threats. The future of security operations isn't about more tools or more automation, it's about intelligent AI agents that deliver measurably better outcomes. By partnering with 7AI, we're pioneering the next phase of managed security services, delivering better insights, faster response times and, ultimately, superior protections for our customers," said Chris Drumgoole, President, Global Infrastructure Services at DXC. Internal use and results DXC has also implemented 7AI's platform within its own internal security operations centre. According to Mike Baker, DXC's Global Chief Information Security Officer, after deploying 7AI's technology the company observed an 80% reduction in tier 1 SOC analyst time, a 95% drop in the number of tickets needing human analysis, and a 67% cut in mean time to respond for tier 1 and tier 2 operations. How it works The 7AI platform leverages what the company calls Dynamic Reasoning technology, enabling the AI to autonomously decide on investigative actions for novel and previously unseen threats in real time. This approach is designed to avoid reliance on static, pre-written playbooks or rules, and it is intended to further reduce the incidence of false positives and improve incident investigation times. Customers deploying the new DXC Agentic SOC will receive security expert support for implementation and ongoing operations, as well as access to incident response and breach management services. The managed service also includes the provision of anonymised threat patterns, contributing to the continual improvement of threat detection while maintaining strict client data protection standards. Additional services tailored to each customer include governance, risk, and compliance support. Broader industry context The launch of the DXC Agentic SOC comes amid continued expectations that artificial intelligence will play a greater role in cybersecurity operations globally. Both DXC and 7AI stated that partnerships leveraging AI in security operations are set to deliver improvements in speed, scale, and operational cost, compared to traditional, manual approaches. "DXC's global cybersecurity scale - serving hundreds of customers, across 25 delivery centers that process 4.5 million daily security threats – provide the real-world data environment essential for advancing our AI. This combination of proven security leadership and operational breadth makes DXC the ideal partner for delivering truly agentic security solutions to the enterprise market. This partnership validates our vision for a new era where security teams can focus exclusively on security outcomes. DXC customers will experience what it means to have AI agents that continuously improve their understanding of each organization's unique security context," said Lior Div, CEO and Co-Founder of 7AI. 7AI projects that with ongoing adoption, its platform will save customers upwards of USD $100 million in 2025 through further reductions in manual security operations workload and analyst resource needs.

Israeli cybersecurity expert plans his comeback in Boston
Div, 47, said his new firm's mission is to protect corporate computer networks from hackers relying heavily on the latest artificial intelligence technology. After all, crooks and U.S. adversaries are already harnessing the tech to empower their hacking efforts, he said. 'The acceleration from generative AI will move us to a new realm of attack,' Div said, noting that hackers can use the tech to greatly increase the number and sophistication of their attacks. Using a program like ChatGPT, a hacker can write more enticing emails filled with malware and send them to more potential victims than ever before, he said.

Advertisement The idea at 7AI is to use the same technology to make monitoring and securing corporate networks much more efficient, too. Using gen AI, the company is programming software agents that can do multiple tasks, monitoring and investigating many more potential security threats at one time than a human. The AI system can also be trained on a company's typical patterns to help uncover new threats. 7AI already employs about 35 people and raised $36 million last year, helping pay for the new office. 'We believe that in Boston there is unbelievable talent,' said Div, who first trained in cybersecurity as part of the Israeli army's famed unit 8200. New hiring is planned 'very quickly,' Div said. 'Boston is deserving an anchor company to take this talent and push us forward,' he said. 'We're going to do it with the Silicon Valley kind of swag, because we've been there, done that, we know what's needed to be built. We're just going to do it here in Boston.'
