Securonix, Inc. has announced a landmark expansion of its cybersecurity platform with the launch of Agentic Mesh, powered by Sam, the AI SOC Analyst an innovative productivity-based AI operating model designed to transform how Security Operations Centers (SOCs) operate in an era of escalating cyber threats and chronic analyst shortages.
Developed in collaboration with Amazon Web Services (AWS) and built on Amazon Bedrock AgentCore, the new capability reflects a shift away from traditional SIEM (Security Information and Event Management) systems that are measured by data volumes and alert metrics, toward a model that quantifies straight productivity specifically, how much actual analyst work automated AI is performing.
At a time when SOC teams are inundated by alert fatigue, talent scarcity and spiralling SIEM costs, Sam and the Agentic Mesh are engineered to act as an always-on digital teammate, automating repetitive Tier-1 and Tier-2 security workflows including triage, investigation enrichment, response guidance and reporting, while maintaining full explainability, governance, and human oversight.
What Makes Sam and Agentic Mesh Different
Traditional AI and automation tools within SOCs have often been billed as “copilots” assistive features embedded into existing tools that help with certain tasks but still leave most work to human analysts. Securonix’s approach instead creates an interconnected ecosystem of specialised AI agents, coordinated through the Agentic Mesh and steered by Sam, that complete measurable work, not just surface suggestions.
Rather than charging based on data volume or feature sprawl common industry pricing models that often lead to unpredictable SIEM costs Securonix ties AI consumption to analyst-equivalent productivity delivered. This productivity-centric pricing intends to provide clearer ROI narratives for security leaders and finance teams, and allows CISOs to communicate AI contributions in operational and business terms that boards and regulators can understand.
Sam doesn’t replace human analysts; it amplifies them. All AI-assisted actions are auditable, explainable, and managed under strict policy guardrails with human-in-the-loop oversight. This aligns with current enterprise and regulatory demands for trustworthy, transparent AI systems that can be validated during compliance audits.
Real-World Adoption and Early Results
Among early adopters is HDFC Bank, one of the world’s largest financial institutions, where Securonix’s Agentic Mesh is being deployed to manage agentic AI at scale while preserving regulatory oversight. The bank reports significant noise reduction, faster investigation turnaround through natural-language search, and clearer visibility into the operational impact of AI assistance, all without relinquishing human control.
Impact on Cloud Security
While the announcement centers on SOC productivity, the broader implications for the cloud security industry are substantial.
Cloud environments host a vast array of workloads, identities, APIs and telemetry sources. Conventional SIEMs struggle to ingest and normalize this high-velocity data without generating overwhelming noise, driving both cost and operational complexity.
The productivity-based AI model promises to:
1. Enhance Threat Detection in Different Cloud Services: Agentic Mesh, through the setup of specialised AI agents that handle cloud telemetry data at large scale, can assist in lessening the number of false alerts and bring up the real threats that are reflected in cloud workloads, network flows, identity logs, and API usage patterns.
2. Keep Cloud Security Spending in Check: Cloud native security toolchains can be a source of unpredictable costs related to data volume (storage + analytics costs). The approach of Securonix that is focused on the analytical value rather than the data size could be of a great help to the enterprises in managing the cloud SIEM economics better, without losing the visibility or investigative depth.
3. Increase Compliance and Governance Capabilities of Cloud, First Architectures: Working in regulated sectors (finance, healthcare, government) means that for such organisations, governance is an essential requirement. The human, in, the, loop approach incorporated in Sam and Agentic Mesh guarantees that any automatic operation is in conformity with policy guardrails, maintains separation of duties, and the trace of the operation, which is indispensable for cloud environments that are spread across different jurisdictions and regulatory frameworks, can be linked to the specific decision.
Lots of businesses are at their wit’s end with alert spikes arising from the logs of cloud workloads, events of containers, changes in IAM policies, telemetry of multi, tenant SaaS, and the list is still growing. Agentic AI that can automate tier, 1 and tier, 2 tasks within this complicated data environment will be able to release the hands of cloud security professionals so that they can concentrate on cloud, specific threat hunting, architecture hardening, and proactive risk mitigation, which are all extremely important as organisations speed up their cloud migrations.

What This Means for Businesses Operating in Cloud Security
The shift to agentic AI also signals a broader industry evolution:
• Automation at scale becomes a necessity, not a luxury. With cyber threats continuously adapting and cloud attack surfaces expanding, manual and semi-manual workflows are no longer sufficient.
• Security talent gaps can be partially bridged. As organisations struggle to attract and retain skilled SOC analysts a challenge exacerbated in cloud-native environments productivity-focused AI can multiply operational capacity without proportional headcount increases.
• Economic predictability improves. Cloud security budgets are typically strained by data costs and unpredictable SIEM spend. By aligning AI pricing with output delivered rather than data ingested, businesses can achieve more predictable security economics.
• Trust and auditability matter more. As regulators scrutinise AI-augmented security operations, solutions that embed explainable and governed AI workflows will be favoured. Securonix’s model directly addresses this need, offering traceability and oversight that can bolster compliance postures.
Conclusion: A Turning Point in Cloud-Centric SOCs
Securonix’s introduction of Agentic Mesh and the productivity-based AI model represents a meaningful shift in how enterprises measure, govern, and operationalise AI within security operations, especially across cloud environments. By focusing on measurable productivity outcomes rather than raw data or feature sets, the company is staking a claim to the next generation of SOC automation one designed to scale with cloud complexity, fiscal accountability, and organisational trust.
