Meet Athena: Huntress' Agentic SOC Analyst
Huntress launched Athena, an agentic SOC system of 40-plus AI agents that investigates alerts with human analysts.
Huntress launched Athena, an agentic SOC system of more than 40 specialized AI agents that investigates security signals alongside human analysts for a base the company says exceeds 250,000 organizations. Athena bundles related alerts, collects endpoint, identity, and log context, follows existing playbooks, and issues a malicious or benign verdict or escalates low-confidence cases. Huntress says report-generation time fell by 90 percent and cites more than a 30 percent improvement on a second incident metric that the excerpt does not fully name. Analysts still maintain playbooks and handle novel or ambiguous cases.
