Today's enterprise digital environments are constantly evolving, and cyber threats are proportionately becoming more complex and diversified. According to industry reports, the average cost of data breaches has continuously increased over the past few years, with attackers employing more sophisticated methods to target critical enterprise assets. A significant issue is the shortage of security professionals, leading many organizations to struggle with maintaining 24/7 expert threat detection and response capabilities. Distinguishing between false positives and actual threats amidst numerous security alerts, and responding swiftly, remains a daunting task even for experienced SOC (Security Operations Center) teams. This situation places immense burden on enterprise security operations, necessitating a constant vigilance against potential breach incidents.
Changes in the Security Operations Market and Limitations of Existing Solutions
In recent years, the cybersecurity market has become more complex due to cloud migration and the proliferation of remote work. Traditional security solutions focused on protecting fixed network perimeters; however, with the emergence of diverse attack surfaces such as endpoints, cloud workloads, and user accounts, it is challenging to encompass all threats with conventional methods alone. In response to these changes, MDR (Managed Detection and Response) services have gained prominence. MDR is a service where specialized security teams handle threat detection and response, emerging as an alternative to supplement the limitations of internal enterprise SOCs.
Nevertheless, existing MDR services have not presented a complete solution. Many MDR services still largely rely on human-driven manual analysis, which has limitations in processing large-scale alerts or responding immediately to rapidly escalating real-time threats. This also contributes significantly to increased service costs, ultimately leaving some enterprises still searching for cost-effective security operations services. Consequently, a conclusion has been reached that a new approach is necessary to innovatively enhance detection and response speed and accuracy while reducing human dependency.
KYRA MDR Automation Service: Next-Generation Security Operations Based on AI Agents
SeekersLab's KYRA MDR Automation Service presents a robust answer to these market demands. This service prominently features AI-powered automation technology, surpassing the limitations of traditional MDR services. At the core of KYRA lies the Agentic OS and AI Agent architecture. The Agentic OS is an intelligent operating system that governs the entire security operations workflow, organically orchestrating various AI Agents. Each AI Agent possesses specialized knowledge and analytical capabilities tailored to specific security domains (e.g., endpoint, network, cloud, threat intelligence) and collaborates to detect and respond to threats.
KYRA MDR Automation Service automates all processes, from threat detection to in-depth investigation and ultimate automated response, using AI. This goes beyond mere script-based automation, leveraging the capabilities of autonomous agents that perceive and judge situations like actual security analysts to execute optimal actions. For instance, if suspicious activity is detected on a specific endpoint, the relevant AI Agent immediately analyzes the endpoint's logs, reviews network traffic, and compares it with threat intelligence to determine the severity of the threat. Subsequently, the Agentic OS utilizes this information to deploy additional AI Agents, directing them to automatically execute necessary response measures such as isolation or blocking. This architecture significantly enhances detection and response speeds while minimizing human dependency.
Exploring KYRA MDR's Core Capabilities
AI-Powered Intelligent Threat Detection
One of the most robust features of KYRA MDR Automation Service is its threat detection capability, primarily driven by AI Agents. KYRA's AI Agents collect and analyze vast amounts of data generated in endpoint, network, and cloud environments in real time. Beyond simple signature-based detection, they leverage machine learning models and behavior-based analysis to identify subtle anomalous behaviors that deviate from normal patterns. An intriguing aspect is their continuous learning and evolution regarding covert tactics and techniques employed by attackers. For instance, even zero-day attacks or fileless malware attack attempts, which were previously difficult to detect, can be captured through the AI Agent's sophisticated pattern analysis. To elaborate on why this is critical, attackers often disguise themselves as legitimate system processes to infiltrate or use malware that executes only in memory to avoid leaving traces. KYRA's AI Agents meticulously analyze such abnormal process call patterns, network communication flows, and user account activities to identify hidden threats. This is analogous to tracking an invisible hunter's footsteps in a forest purely by subtle shifts in the wind and traces on leaves.
Automated Threat Investigation and Analysis
The investigation and analysis process following threat detection is the most time-consuming and expertise-demanding aspect of security operations. KYRA automates this process through the collaboration of Agentic OS and AI Agents. When a suspicious alert is generated, the Agentic OS mobilizes relevant AI Agents to immediately initiate a multifaceted investigation. The endpoint AI Agent collects detailed system state information and process trees, the network AI Agent analyzes relevant communication logs and connection information, and the threat intelligence AI Agent queries real-time data such as the latest CVE information or attack campaign data to understand the context. Contrary to expectations, AI Agents do not merely compile information based on predefined rules; they actively expand or narrow the scope of investigation based on the type and characteristics of the threat. For example, if suspected ransomware activity is detected, the corresponding AI Agent intensively analyzes file system change history and encryption attempt patterns, comparing them with IOCs (Indicators of Compromise) from similar attack cases to swiftly uncover the true nature of the threat. This process, which previously took tens of minutes to several hours for manual analysis, is completed within seconds to minutes, significantly reducing the fatigue of SOC teams and lowering false positive rates.
Proactive Threat Hunting
Beyond passive detection, KYRA MDR provides proactive threat hunting capabilities based on AI Agents. Attackers often first attempt various evasion techniques to bypass an enterprise's defenses. Upon successful initial penetration, they aim to escalate privileges within the internal network, move laterally to exfiltrate critical assets, and ultimately achieve data exfiltration or system destruction. Precursors to such breaches or subtle anomalous behaviors are challenging to detect with standardized rules. Herein lies a critical advantage. KYRA's AI Agents predict these attacker behaviors and continuously analyze data to uncover hidden threat elements. For instance, they persistently track subtle anomalies such as abnormal login patterns for a specific user account, attempts to connect to servers not typically accessed, or communication using unknown ports. An AI Agent, much like a seasoned hunter tracking prey through subtle traces, proactively identifies and reports deeply embedded threat activities within the internal network. This provides a robust defense mechanism against long-term threats (APT, Advanced Persistent Threat) that may be underway without enterprise awareness.
Rapid and Intelligent Automated Response
Upon completion of threat detection and investigation, KYRA MDR Automation Service executes rapid and intelligent automated responses under the command of the Agentic OS, utilizing AI Agents. Depending on the severity and type of threat, predefined playbooks are executed, or AI Agents assess the situation to propose and execute optimal response measures. For example, an endpoint where malware is detected can be immediately isolated from the network, related processes terminated, and infected files deleted, all automatically. If a phishing email attack is confirmed, complex responses such as automatically deleting the email from the relevant email server and sending warning notifications to users are possible. All these processes occur rapidly without human intervention, thereby blocking the spread of attacks at an early stage and minimizing damage. Particularly in responding to large-scale campaign attacks or rapidly spreading zero-day threats, automated responses ensure far more effective results than human-based responses. This is akin to an orchestra conductor harmonizing all musicians to create a perfect symphony.
Continuous Learning and Optimization
KYRA MDR Automation Service goes beyond merely providing an automated solution; it strengthens security capabilities through continuous learning and optimization. AI Agents learn from data generated throughout all threat detection, investigation, and response processes, and they update with new threat intelligence and attack techniques in real time. This is comparable to an experienced security expert accumulating knowledge from each new incident and preparing more effectively for subsequent threats. For instance, when a new type of ransomware attack method is discovered, KYRA's AI Agents immediately learn the characteristics and response patterns of that attack, thereby enhancing detection and response capabilities for similar future attacks. During this process, false positive rates continuously decrease, and true positive rates increase, gradually improving the efficiency and accuracy of security operations. This self-learning capability is a key driving force that enables KYRA MDR to always maintain a defensive posture against the latest threats. In essence, it can be described as a 'living' security system that dynamically adapts and evolves with changes in the security environment.
Application Scenarios in Actual Business Environments
Enhanced Threat Intelligence and Regulatory Compliance for Financial Institutions
In large-scale financial institution environments, countless transactions and user activities occur daily, representing a breeding ground for potential threats. KYRA MDR Automation Service leverages AI Agents to detect and analyze abnormal transaction patterns or attempts by insiders to commit illegal activities in real-time. For instance, if a specific employee attempts to access a sensitive database outside their normal scope of work, or an abnormal login attempt is detected via an overseas IP, KYRA immediately issues an alert and performs automated responses such as temporarily locking the relevant account. This contributes to ensuring the continuity of financial services while meeting stringent regulatory compliance requirements such as those from electronic financial supervision regulations and personal information protection laws. AI-powered predictive analytics can play a decisive role in early identification of potential fraudulent activities, thereby preventing financial incidents.
Protecting OT/IT Converged Environments in the Manufacturing Industry
The manufacturing industry, characterized by smart factories, is exposed to new security threats as OT (Operational Technology) and IT (Information Technology) environments converge. Cyberattacks on critical production facilities can lead to immense economic losses and human casualties. In these complex environments, KYRA MDR utilizes AI Agents to detect abnormal traffic patterns on OT networks or unauthorized access attempts to PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) control systems. For example, if a remote command to a specific control system originates from an abnormal source, or an unauthorized firmware update attempt is detected, KYRA immediately blocks the connection and submits a detailed report to the SOC. This ensures the stability of production lines and protects critical infrastructure from sophisticated supply chain attacks.
Dynamic Security Operations for Cloud-Native Enterprises
Cloud-native environments, with dynamically changing workloads such as containers and serverless functions, make visibility and management challenging for traditional security solutions. KYRA MDR leverages AI Agents to monitor logs and API activities in major cloud environments like AWS, Azure, and GCP in real time. For instance, if abnormal VM creation, privilege escalation attempts, or unauthorized access attempts to sensitive S3 buckets are detected in a cloud environment, KYRA immediately isolates the resource or revokes access permissions, executing automated response measures. This capability is essential for managing the complexity of cloud environments and protecting assets from vulnerability exposure due to misconfigurations or account compromise threats. AI Agents are also integrated into the security of CI/CD pipelines in development and operations (DevOps) environments, continuously verifying the security posture before and after code deployment and contributing to the proactive blocking of potential threats.
Integration Benefits and Synergy with SeekersLab Products
KYRA MDR Automation Service achieves greater synergy when integrated with other powerful security products from SeekersLab. For instance, KYRA MDR can be linked with FRIIM CNAPP (Cloud Native Application Protection Platform) to maximize security visibility and automated response capabilities across cloud-native environments. While FRIIM CNAPP proactively detects cloud misconfigurations, vulnerabilities, and compliance issues and provides workload runtime protection, KYRA MDR deeply analyzes the alerts generated by FRIIM CNAPP using AI Agents, identifies threat scenarios leading to actual attacks, and responds swiftly, thereby elevating the completeness of cloud security operations. Specifically, KYRA's AI Agents learn from the cloud configuration visibility and compliance review results provided by FRIIM CSPM (Cloud Security Posture Management), making it possible to predict potential risks in cloud environments more accurately and proactively address high-priority vulnerabilities.
Furthermore, for enterprises already utilizing Seekurity SIEM to collect and analyze various logs, KYRA MDR can more intelligently leverage Seekurity SIEM data to enhance threat detection and investigation capabilities. Integration with Seekurity SOAR further refines KYRA MDR's automated response playbooks and automates complex workflows, maximizing the efficiency of security operations. When combined with Seekurity XDR, KYRA's AI Agents comprehensively analyze rich data collected from all security domains—including endpoints, networks, and clouds—to reconstruct the entire attack story beyond fragmentary alerts and provide a more accurate threat context. Such organic integration maximizes the strengths of each product and forms an essential foundation for building a more robust enterprise security architecture.
