A Guide To Orchestrating End-To-End Investigations With AI
Security Boulevard, Wednesday, April 8th, 2026
This blog post is the third in a four-part series on Swimlane's fleet of expert AI agents and focuses on the Hero AI Investigation Agent. This agent eliminates the costly problem of context switching, which consumes significant analyst time as they pivot among multiple tools to gather context.
Acting as the 'brain' of the AI SOC, the Investigation Agent synthesizes high-fidelity intelligence from other agents and evaluates it against customer-defined runbooks and institutional knowledge to produce a complete, prioritized, NIST-aligned, four-phase response plan.
If you've been following this series, we've covered two agents in Swimlane's Hero AI fleet so far: the MITRE ATT&CK & D3FEND Agent that standardizes how you describe attacks and defenses, and the Threat Intelligence Agent that synthesizes multi-source intel into a single, explainable assessment.
Both of those agents solve real problems, but they're inputs. They produce context. What happens next, given that context, is where investigations either fly or fall apart.
