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.

ReliaQuest Announces Industry's First Role-Based Agentic AI Teammates to Exponentially Scale Security Operations
TAMPA, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--ReliaQuest, the leader in agentic AI security operations, today announced the launch of GreyMatter Agentic Teammates, the industry's first autonomous, role-based AI Agents that exponentially scale security operations teams–giving them back hours of valuable time to focus on what matters most to their business and stay ahead of threats. Developed leveraging ReliaQuest's 15+ years of expertise, working with enterprise security teams across hundreds of diverse technologies, GreyMatter Agentic Teammates represent specific roles of a Security Operations team, such as Threat Intelligence Researchers, Detection Engineers and Threat Hunters. Combined with GreyMatter's native Agentic AI that already performs investigations 75% faster than traditional methods with 99.4% accuracy rating on malicious activity, these Agentic Teammates work together to exponentially extend the capabilities of security operations teams. This allows security teams to move toward predictive security. No longer simply reacting to threats, security teams will have the ability to anticipate what's coming, understand where their organizations are most vulnerable, conduct risk-modeling, and build long-term resilience. '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.' ReliaQuest's role-specific Agentic Teammates allow security operations teams to scale overnight, with no learning curve. They work 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. They never burn out and never miss a shift. They operate autonomously across the GreyMatter platform, working with customers' existing tools, teams and workflows. GreyMatter Agentic Teammates continuously collaborate with each other and their human teammates. For example, when a security leader wants to understand the latest threats impacting their organization and industry, they can ask the Threat Intel Teammate to perform research across the open, deep, and dark web and all available threat feeds. If the Threat Intel Teammate uncovers an emerging threat, it shares this information simultaneously with its Agentic Teammates. The Threat Hunter Teammate then discovers within seconds whether that threat has ever impacted their environment, while the Detection Teammate creates and deploys new rules and automated response plays to protect the organization against incoming attacks. Within minutes, the Agentic Teammates report back to human teammates with all the information needed to advise the business. '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." About ReliaQuest ReliaQuest exists to Make Security Possible.

ReliaQuest launches GreyMatter automation to speed threat response
ReliaQuest has introduced GreyMatter Workflows, a capability designed to accelerate the detection and containment of security threats by automating operational workflows within its GreyMatter platform. GreyMatter Workflows enables customers to create business-specific automated processes using a no-code, drag-and-drop interface. This functionality aims to reduce the manual effort involved in security operations and enhance response speeds across complex threat environments. Workflow automation The new feature is integrated natively with ReliaQuest's AI-driven security operations platform and automates essential tasks across detection, containment, investigation, and response activities within existing technology infrastructures. GreyMatter Workflows extends automation beyond traditional security tools, facilitating direct interaction with other business units and end users. It also offers integration with services such as Microsoft Teams and Slack, enabling more comprehensive threat verification and communication capabilities. Pre-built workflow templates are provided, based on frequent use cases observed among ReliaQuest's enterprise clients, and can be further customised to suit unique organisational requirements. Security teams can develop and deploy automation processes with zero-code design from initial implementation, and have the option to use AI Agents for more tailored adjustments throughout investigative workstreams. According to ReliaQuest, the adoption of GreyMatter Workflows leads to a reduction in operational complexity, diminishes the need for manual intervention, and shortens incident response times. Customers reportedly experience a 64% decrease in Mean Time to Respond (MTTR) and are able to eliminate more than half of manual response tasks. Customer and industry response "The threat landscape is accelerating, but the operational workflows used to detect and contain those threats haven't kept up," said Brian Foster, President of Product and Technical Operations at ReliaQuest. "Security teams need the ability to automate complex workflows quickly, so they can focus more on managing threats and less on managing tools. GreyMatter Workflows gives our customers the ability to build powerful end-to-end automations to unify all phases of security operations, without leaving the platform." Pat O'Keefe, Head of Global Security Operations and Risk Management at Circle K, commented on the significance of rapid threat management, particularly for organisations with substantial and dispersed operational footprints. "Detecting and containing threats quickly has never been more important in cybersecurity, especially for a business like ours that is distributed across hundreds of locations around the world," said Pat O'Keefe. "Being able to extend our automation capabilities further into our business will help us stay proactive in protecting our brand." Bo Olsen, Security Engineering Manager at Eastern Bank, discussed the evolving direction of daily security operations, emphasising automation as a key priority to allocate resources toward more strategic objectives. "As we look to what's next in cybersecurity, we plan to automate as much as possible of the day-to-day security operations processes so we can spend more time on what matters most to our business," said Bo Olsen. "We can't achieve that level of efficiency with traditional SOAR – an expensive add-on that doesn't deliver the outcomes we really need." Platform details The GreyMatter platform utilises ReliaQuest's Universal Translator, detection-at-source, and Agentic AI components to facilitate connectivity and threat management across cloud, multi-cloud, and on-premises environments. The introduction of Workflows supports ReliaQuest's objective of enabling tailored security outcomes for organisations with differing technology architectures and business needs. With over 1,000 customers and 1,200 staff across six global locations, ReliaQuest continues to offer capabilities in security operations that address the responsiveness and efficiency demands faced by enterprises amid dynamic cybersecurity challenges.
