The RSA Conference 2025 highlighted the growing prominence of Agentic Security and AI Agents in cybersecurity. While some veteran security leaders remain skeptical, real-world implementations are proving their effectiveness. Here’s what you need to know about this emerging trend.

You Should Know: Practical Implementation of Agentic Security

Agentic security refers to AI-driven systems that autonomously detect, analyze, and respond to threats in real time. Below are key commands, tools, and steps to experiment with AI-driven security:

1. Setting Up an AI-Based Threat Detection System

  • Use Elasticsearch + Kibana + ML Modules for log analysis:
    sudo apt-get install elasticsearch kibana
    sudo systemctl start elasticsearch
    sudo systemctl start kibana
    
  • Enable Machine Learning (ML) in Kibana:
    PUT _ml/anomaly_detectors/network_threats
    {
    "analysis_config": {
    "bucket_span": "15m",
    "detectors": [
    {
    "function": "high_count",
    "field_name": "source.ip"
    }
    ]
    },
    "data_description": {
    "time_field": "@timestamp"
    }
    }
