IBM introduced new agents and automation capabilities to its threat detection and response services to help clients achieve autonomous security operations and predictive threat intelligence.
IBM unveiled the Autonomous Threat Operations Machine (ATOM) , an agent-based AI system that provides autonomous threat triage, investigation and remediation with minimal human intervention . IBM also unveiled new X-Force Predictive Threat Intelligence (PTI) agents for ATOM. Leveraging industry-specific, AI-based models, PTI agents generate predictive threat insights about potential adversarial activity, minimizing manual threat hunting.
“Organizations continue to face increasingly stealthy and persistent cyber threats that require longer to detect and respond,” said Mark Hughes, global managing partner, Cybersecurity Services, IBM. “By delivering agent-based AI capabilities to automate the threat detection and response process, IBM is helping clients unlock new value from their security operations and free up already stretched security resources.”

Autonomous Threat Operations Machine (ATOM)
ATOM’s AI agent framework and orchestration engine, which powers IBM Threat Detection and Response (TDR) services , augments an organization’s existing security analytics solutions by leveraging multiple agents to improve the security analyst experience by accelerating, enhancing and contextualizing threat detection to analyze alerts, perform risk analysis, develop and execute investigation plans and help take remediation actions. This orchestration allows security teams to focus on high-priority threats instead of wasting valuable time on false positives and low-priority risks.
IBM Consulting is a global systems integrator and managed security services provider helping clients manage their Security Operations Center (SOC) outcomes, including providing AI-powered orchestration for threat detection and response. Within the TDR platform, ATOM acts as a vendor-agnostic digital operator, providing AI capabilities that can be integrated with existing solutions from partners such as IBM, Google Cloud and Microsoft.
Predictive Threat Intelligence (PTI)
IBM X-Force Predictive Threat Intelligence (PTI) brings together AI and expert human analysis to help curate proactive threat intelligence. Powered by proprietary AI-based models trained on cybersecurity data, PTI delivers customized, contextualized threat intelligence feeds that predict potential threats based on attacker behavior.
To extract behavioral and early indicators of compromise, PTI collects data from over 100 sources, including X-Force Threat Intelligence, open source RSS feeds, APIs, other automated sources, and user-provided organizational context. PTI synthesizes this information and creates intelligence reports with recommended threat hunting queries tailored to an organization’s unique needs. By focusing on behavioral indicators, not just indicators of compromise, organizations can stay ahead of threats.
