ntegrated Security Operations Center (ISOC), now in preview, combines the breadth of SIEM capabilities with the depth of native threat protection, alongside threat intelligence, automation and AI. ISOC gives security teams and agents a shared foundation to see the environment, understand the threat and act with the relevant context and controls.

Blocking an AI agent contains the immediate threat. It does not complete the response. Once an alert is confirmed and the agent or affected instance is blocked, the security team needs to answer a harder question: what did the agent do before we stopped it?

Project Perception's practical value is coordination. Specialized security agents work toward a shared objective, giving customers a clearer path from understanding a threat to deciding what to investigate, detect and fix.

An agent incident can involve nine teams and still leave one critical question unanswered: "Who is allowed to decide what happens next?" The problem is not always missing technology. It is often that actors, products, evidence, actions, and decisions are drawn as if they mean the same thing.

"Does the agent work?" - Most agent governance problems begin with this wrong production question! While a successful demo answers that question, a production approval has to answer a different one: "Can this agent operate with bounded authority, observable behavior, and a clear human decision owner?"

Be careful with some of the shorthand we use. When we say organizations need visibility, permissions, and traceability for agents, that can easily sound as if no controls exist today. That is not accurate, and any average security team will challenge it immediately.
