• New automation and AI-driven triage capabilities dramatically reduce alert noise and accelerate investigations for modern security teams

    San Jose, Calif. – Apr. 15, 2026

    As security operations teams struggle to keep pace with escalating alert volumes and increasingly automated attacks, Stellar Cyber just introduced new Agentic AI–driven capabilities designed to transform the day-to-day reality of the SOC analyst.

    The company’s latest innovations expand its human-augmented autonomous SOC platform, helping organizations reduce alert noise, accelerate investigations, and shift security teams away from reactive alert handling toward AI-driven, outcome-based security operations.

    The announcement comes as cybersecurity leaders were preparing to gather at RSAC 2026 in San Francisco, where Stellar Cyber demonstrated how AI can meaningfully improve SOC productivity without removing human oversight.

    AI That Works With Analysts — Not Instead of Them

    Security teams today face an unsustainable reality: overwhelming alert volumes, fragmented tools, and increasingly sophisticated adversaries.

    Stellar Cyber’s platform introduces coordinated Agentic AI reasoning embedded directly into analyst workflows, enabling AI to analyze signals, prioritize threats, and recommend actions while keeping humans firmly in control.

    “Security operations have reached a tipping point,” said Aimei Wei, CTO of Stellar Cyber.
    “The volume and complexity of alerts are simply beyond what human analysts can manage alone. Our approach is to combine machine-speed analysis with human judgment. AI handles the data and correlation at scale, while analysts remain in control of decisions that matter.”



    Eliminating Alert Noise and Accelerating Investigation

    One of the most significant new capabilities is automated alert triage, which evaluates incoming alerts, enriches them with contextual intelligence, and determines likely true or false positives before analysts ever see them.

    Early adopters are seeing dramatic improvements in operational efficiency, including:

    • 60–80 percent reduction in analyst triage time
    • Up to 70 percent reduction in alert noise

    The system uses an AI-driven Verdict Signal Check (VSC) model combined with human-in-the-loop oversight, ensuring that automation improves accuracy without sacrificing transparency or control.

    In parallel, AI-generated case analysis now automatically summarizes high-severity incidents, reconstructs attack timelines, identifies affected assets, and recommends response actions.

    This transforms incident investigation from manual data review into machine-assisted security reasoning.

    Phishing Response in Minutes Instead of Hours

    Phishing remains one of the most persistent operational challenges for SOC teams.

    Stellar Cyber’s automated phishing analysis capabilities dramatically reduce analyst workload by evaluating user-reported emails, filtering out benign messages, and escalating only high-confidence threats into investigation workflows.

    Tasks that previously required hours of manual analysis can now be completed in minutes.

    A SOC Built for Real-World Operations

    Beyond AI automation, Stellar Cyber is also introducing enhancements designed to improve the operational experience of security teams.
    New capabilities include:

    • Custom case queues that allow SOC teams to organize investigations based on escalation level, SLA priority, or customer tier
    • Improved detection coverage for web application exploitation and VPN credential abuse
    • Modernized dashboards with responsive layouts and drag-and-drop customization
    • Expanded integrations across the Open XDR ecosystem

    These improvements are designed to reduce friction in daily SOC operations while improving visibility and collaboration.



    A Different Approach to AI in Security Operations

    Unlike many vendors that apply AI to isolated parts of the security stack, Stellar Cyber embeds Multi-Layer AI across the entire SecOps lifecycle — from data ingestion and correlation to investigation and automated response.

    The platform unifies SIEMNDR / OT,  ITDR / UEBA, detection, investigation, triage, and response within a single open architecture.

    “This is about transforming the daily life of the SOC analyst,” said Subo Guha, SVP of Product at Stellar Cyber.

    “We are eliminating repetitive work so analysts can focus on high-value decisions. Cleaner signals, faster investigations, and automated workflows allow security teams to scale operations without scaling headcount.”

  • NASHVILLEThe Army is continuing to name its airframes after Indigenous tribes with its first tiltrotor aircraft. The MV-75 is officially the Cheyenne II, the service’s undersecretary announced Wednesday at the Army Aviation Warfighting Summit.

    Members of the tribe have served in every U.S. armed service and during every major conflict, said Undersecretary Mike Obadal, a relationship that “evolved from warfare to mutual respect and finally into an unbroken legacy of patriotic service.”

    “In the Army, system names carry both history and expectations,” Obadal said. “With the MV-75, we honor a legacy forged in conflict, proven in battle, originally known to the U.S. Army as some of the most formidable and disciplined adversaries on the battlefield.”

    The II is a nod to the Army’s original Cheyenne, a Vietnam War-era attack helicopter program that was canceled before entering production in 1972.

    The new Cheyenne has been more than  a decade in the making, originally the Future Long-Range Assault Aircraft, part of the Army’s Future Vertical Lift program. The service’s then-chief of staff, Gen. Randy George, announced earlier this year that the latest prototypes, which have evolved from Bell-Textron’s V-280 Valor, will be fielded to units for testing by the end of the year.

    Envisioned as an eventual replacement for the UH-60 Black Hawk, the Cheyenne is the Army’s first foray into tiltrotor aviation, decades after the Marine Corps, Air Force and Navy all integrated the V-22 Osprey into their aviation communities. 

    It “carries the lessons of the past and the present into the future,” Obadal said.

    Bell-Textron and the Army are integrating some of the lessons learned at deadly cost from the Osprey, including a fixed engine rather than one that tilts with the rotors.

    “Now that may seem like a minor difference, but when it comes to maintenance, reliability, cost, impact from vibration or utilization, we found that fixed engine is likely to result in less maintenance requirements, less complexity,” Col. Tyler Partridge, who commands the 101st Combat Aviation Brigade at Fort Campbelly, Ky., told Defense One in March.

    The Army and Bell-Textron will officially unveil the aircraft Wednesday at the Army Aviation Warfighting Summit.

  • An unmanned helicopter concept being developed by Airbus for Marine Corps logistics missions may pave the way for an armed variant, company officials say.

    Airbus is working on an unmanned version of the MQ-72C Lakota for the Marines’ Aerial Logistics Connector competition; on Wednesday, the company said it had completed another autonomous flight test using its H145 helicopter and technology from Shield AI, L3Harris Technologies, and Parry Labs.

    Company officials said it’s possible that the Lakota could be armed.

    “Based on our discussions with other potential customers and partners, we believe there is an opportunity for mission expansion to include launched effects,” an Airbus official said. “Our primary focus remains providing the best aerial logistics platform for the Marine Corps. We believe the MQ-72C Lakota Connector can support a range of future missions thanks to its versatile design, [modular open system] architecture, and autonomous mission capabilities.”

    Airbus is among several defense companies working on autonomous aircraft intended to replace military aviators on logistics missions. Last year, Sikorsky unveiled a pilotless UH-60L Black Hawk to carry cargo into combat zones. Similarly, Boeing announced a concept for a tiltrotor drone-wingman concept to support the Army’s helicopter fleet. 

    Airbus’ latest test flights, conducted in recent weeks at its Grand Prairie, Texas, facility, refined the helicopter's perception, officials said. The H145, the commercial variant of the Lakota, scanned a landing zone in flight, detected obstacles, and found an alternative spot to land if necessary. The technology detected objects “ranging from the size of a SUV down to a pelican case,” an Airbus official said.

    “This test was vital for us to show the Lakota Connector’s development in performing aerial logistics missions for the U.S. Marine Corps,” said Rob Geckle, CEO of Airbus U.S. Space and Defense. “Perception systems can make or break the success of an unmanned mission in the field, and I am excited to see our aircraft perform so well under uncertain conditions.”

    Part of the effort’s fourth series of tests, the flights were conducted in recent weeks at the Airbus facility in Grand Prairie, Texas. Shield AI  contributed its Hivemind autonomy software, L3 Harris supplied modular and digital backbone, and Parry Lab provided edge-computing and ground-control stations for the tests, an official said. 

    “This H145 flight test proves Hivemind delivers scalable autonomy across rotary and fixed-wing aircraft without custom redesign,” said Christian Gutierrez, vice president of Hivemind Solutions at Shield AI. “That speed and flexibility are critical in contested logistics.”

    An Airbus official said “the next step is progressively improving perception to detect smaller, more operationally representative objects” and additional internal autonomy and integration flight tests are expected throughout the year.

    The Aerial Connector program is one of several Defense Department initiatives “aimed at delivering logistical support in distributed environments during peer or near- peer conflicts,” Airbus said in the news release. Other competitors in the program include 

    Those developments have made some aviators fearing for their careers, Defense One previously reported, especially as the push for autonomous choppers comes as some services shed helicopter units.
