AI rewrites cyber risk Explore the new battleground for attackers and defenders

Autonomous Threat Operations Machine (ATOM)

Create an autonomous security operations center (SOC) by using agentic AI

Agentic AI-powered autonomous security

Generative AI is fueling a second security arms race with faster, tailored and more complex attacks. Human defenders alone can’t win this race. This is why we’ve established ATOM, the AI-powered orchestration engine that powers our Threat Detection and Response Services.

ATOM, available on IBM Consulting® Advantage, is our agentic AI system that goes beyond individual AI agents to create autonomous security operations by orchestrating multiple agents to interact and collaborate with each other across the entire threat lifecycle. It automates threat hunting, accelerates threat detection, creates and runs investigation plans and performs remediation steps. ATOM does the orchestrating so security teams can focus on high-risk threats rather than false positives or low-risk threats.

Benefits Drive higher value work

85% automation of L1 activity.1 ATOM drives enterprise productivity by unifying and intelligently managing digital labor, streamlining processes, automating tasks and enhancing collaboration.

Find and confirm threats faster

ATOM's predictive threat intelligence contextualizes threats to your environment, enabling proactive threat mitigation and reducing speed to detection.

Improve system effectiveness

Reduce noisy alerts by up to 45%.2 ATOM operationalizes the MITRE ATT&CK framework for comprehensive threat visibility and continuous posture optimization.

AI-powered capabilities Predictive threat intelligence

Proactively mitigate threats with autonomous threat intelligence. Use gen AI to correlate threat activity with environmental context, curate threat intel, automate hunts and generate risk assessments to proactively mitigate attacks and prioritize remediation efforts.
