AI Security Capabilities
KYRA AI MDR integrates advanced AI capabilities throughout the security operations workflow, providing automated analysis, investigation assistance, and proactive threat detection.
Overview
The platform employs 3 core AI agents, each focused on a critical security domain: alert triage, incident response, and threat hunting. The framework is extensible — additional specialized agents can be added as the platform matures. These agents work together to analyze alerts, investigate incidents, hunt for threats, and provide actionable intelligence — reducing analyst workload and accelerating response times.
AI Agent Roles
| Agent | Function |
|---|---|
| Threat Hunter | IOC pattern recognition, MITRE ATT&CK technique mapping, proactive search |
| OSINT Investigator | External intelligence gathering, domain/IP enrichment, reputation checks |
| Incident Responder | Playbook execution, evidence collection, containment recommendations |
| Vulnerability Researcher | Exposure scanning, patch prioritization, exploit risk assessment |
| Forensic Analyst | Timeline reconstruction, root cause analysis, artifact examination |
| Compliance Auditor | Regulatory mapping, evidence trails, compliance gap identification |
| Malware Analyst | Static/dynamic analysis coordination, sandbox integration, behavioral classification |
| Dark Web Monitor | Underground forum tracking, breach alerts, credential exposure monitoring |
| Strategic Intel | Campaign tracking, APT attribution, geopolitical threat context |
| Network Detective | Lateral movement detection, C2 pattern identification, network forensics |
| Identity Investigator | User/entity behavior analytics, privilege escalation detection, insider threat identification |
| Threat Research Lead | Multi-agent investigation orchestration, cross-domain analysis coordination |
How AI Analysis Works
Cost-Optimized Model Routing
The platform intelligently routes analysis tasks to the appropriate AI model tier:
| Task Type | Model Tier | Use Case |
|---|---|---|
| Triage | Lightweight | High-volume alert classification, severity scoring, false positive filtering |
| Investigation | Standard | Alert enrichment, context analysis, pattern matching, IOC correlation |
| Attribution | Advanced | APT campaign attribution, complex incident analysis, executive threat briefings |
This tiered approach keeps costs predictable while ensuring that complex threats receive the deep analysis they require.
Agent Memory
AI agents maintain context across investigations:
- Short-term: Current investigation context with automatic expiry
- Working memory: Case files and evidence artifacts per incident
- Long-term: Threat intelligence patterns, IOC relationships, historical attack context
- Collective memory: Cross-agent shared findings for coordinated investigations
Integration Points
Data Sources
AI agents analyze data from all connected sources:
- Log collector events (firewall, EDR, syslog, Windows Events)
- NDR network detections
- Cloud sensor alerts
- Third-party connector data (Splunk, CrowdStrike, Elastic)
- External threat intelligence feeds
Outputs
- Enriched alert context and severity adjustments
- Investigation timelines and root cause analysis
- Automated playbook recommendations
- Compliance evidence mapping
- Executive-ready threat reports
Threat Intelligence Integration
AI agents leverage multiple threat intelligence sources:
| Feed | Used By |
|---|---|
| VirusTotal | Malware Analyst |
| Shodan | OSINT Investigator |
| MISP (community IOCs) | Strategic Intel |
| Recorded Future | Strategic Intel |
| NVD / ExploitDB | Vulnerability Researcher |
| Abuse.ch | Threat Hunter |
Cross-Agent Coordination
For complex incidents, the Threat Research Lead orchestrates multi-agent investigations:
- Initial Triage — Alert Triage agent classifies severity and identifies relevant domains
- Parallel Analysis — Specialized agents investigate simultaneously (threat hunter + OSINT + network detective)
- Findings Synthesis — Research Lead aggregates findings across agents
- Response Recommendation — Incident Responder generates containment and remediation steps
- Documentation — Compliance Auditor maps findings to regulatory requirements
This coordinated approach ensures that complex threats are analyzed from every angle without requiring manual orchestration by analysts.
