Sekoia announced the general availability of **Elevate**, an autonomous security operations center (SOC) agent, on [September 30, 2026, from Paris, France](https://www.sekoia.com/newsroom/sekoia-elevate-brings-autonomous-cyber-defense-to-life-from-security-data-to-verdict-in-99-seconds). The product is positioned as the "agentic AI layer" of Sekoia's autonomous SOC platform and represents the company's first shipping agent product for enterprise security teams.

## How Elevate works

Elevate operates as an end-to-end autonomous investigator. When a security alert fires, the agent ingests customer security data, conducts investigation workflows, and produces an **audit-ready verdict** complete with a traceable record of queries and evidence. [Sekoia reported an average verdict time of 99 seconds](https://www.sekoia.com/newsroom/sekoia-elevate-brings-autonomous-cyber-defense-to-life-from-security-data-to-verdict-in-99-seconds)—critical for SOC teams operating under time pressure during active threat response.

The verdicts are human-auditable by design. Each investigation includes documented reasoning and evidence chains, allowing analysts to understand why the agent reached its conclusion and to override or refine decisions if needed.

## Scale and validation

Before GA, Sekoia ran an early-access program in production customer environments. [The program involved more than 2,000 customers, hundreds of SOC analysts, and more than 425,000 autonomous investigations](https://www.sekoia.com/newsroom/sekoia-elevate-brings-autonomous-cyber-defense-to-life-from-security-data-to-verdict-in-99-seconds). This deployment at scale—rather than closed beta or internal testing—signals confidence in the agent's reliability in live SOC workflows.

[Reuters reported that Sekoia rolled out Elevate to its clients after the early-access program and described it as a cybersecurity AI-agent tool](https://www.reuters.com/legal/litigation/frances-sekoia-rolls-out-ai-cybersecurity-platform-its-clients-2026-09-30/), confirming the shift from pilot to general availability.

## Market context

The SOC automation space has attracted significant vendor attention, but most offerings remain alert-routing or ticketing automation. Elevate attempts to push deeper—automating the investigation verdict itself, not just alert triage. The 99-second average reflects a design goal to keep human analysts in the loop for complex decisions while accelerating routine threat assessment.

The 425,000-investigation dataset from the early-access program provides Sekoia with rare production data on agent performance across real security environments, threat types, and customer infrastructure—a competitive moat difficult for competitors to replicate quickly.
