Radware Expands AI SOC Xpert with Agentic AI to Shrink Response Times and Strengthen App Security

Radware is upping the ante in AI-powered cybersecurity. Less than a year after debuting AI SOC Xpert for cloud DDoS protection, the company has rolled out a major expansion that brings its agentic AI capabilities deeper into the heart of the Security Operations Center (SOC).

The updated platform, powered by Radware’s proprietary EPIC-AI™, is designed to give analysts an intelligent assistant that can perform root-cause analysis, build incident timelines, and surface contextual details across DDoS and bot attacks — all within minutes. The goal: replace slow, manual correlation with automated insight that compresses mean time to resolution (MTTR) and keeps teams ahead of increasingly autonomous threats.

“While the growing ecosystem of agentic capabilities provides vast opportunities for businesses, as AI systems gain autonomy the attack surface expands dramatically,” said Gabi Malka, Chief Operating Officer at Radware. “Radware is extending AI SOC Xpert to further protect applications in an AI agentic world. Think of it as an AI agent for the SOC, reducing MTTR by up to twenty times.”

AI That Investigates and Remediates Itself

Where traditional SOC workflows require analysts to jump between dashboards, Radware’s unified console now integrates Application Protection and On-Premise DDoS views with enhanced Cloud DDoS intelligence. Analysts can visualize anomalies, attack patterns, and AI-generated recommendations in one place — a move that directly tackles investigation fatigue and alert overload.

The platform’s AI-driven incident remediation for bot attacks uses continuous policy optimization and automated tuning to cut false positives, while advanced forensics summarize incidents in natural language. The system’s “forensic storytelling” and structured summaries are designed to help security teams understand why an attack unfolded, not just how it happened.

From Peacetime Profiling to Real-Time Defense

Radware’s approach goes beyond remediation: AI SOC Xpert also functions as a pre-attack sentinel. By profiling “peacetime” traffic, the system learns normal network behavior and uses that baseline to pre-stage filters before a live attack. When anomalies appear, one-click enforcement enables immediate mitigation — whether in hybrid, cloud, or on-prem deployments.

The new release integrates directly into DefensePro X and Cyber Controller, extending AI-guided protection across every environment. Continuous monitoring of packet size, vector type, and traffic dynamics helps the AI detect subtle deviations that might precede full-scale DDoS or botnet activity.

Agentic AI Meets SOC Reality

The expansion signals Radware’s intent to evolve its platform in lockstep with the “agentic AI” era — where autonomous systems both drive productivity and create new security blind spots. By embedding EPIC-AI into every phase of detection, prevention, and remediation, the company is positioning its technology not just as a monitoring tool, but as a co-investigator within the SOC.

In an environment where every second counts, shaving MTTR by a factor of twenty could mean the difference between a contained disruption and a public-facing breach.

Radware’s latest move shows that as AI becomes a bigger part of both offense and defense, the smartest SOCs will be the ones that let AI fight AI.
