AI-based security operations and analytics platform company Igloo Corporation said on May 19 it has obtained two new patents related to implementing an “Autonomous Security Operations Center (Autonomous SOC)”.

According to the company, the first patent selects and blocks high-risk attacks among security alerts. The second patent evaluates system security vulnerabilities and configuration errors using AI and automatically applies appropriate defensive measures.

Users can use this to build a unified automation system spanning preventive action, threat detection and post-incident response, based on real-time analysis of threat information and security status in on-premise and cloud environments.

Igloo Corporation said its strategy is to use the patented technologies to speed up securing an agentic SOC system as a path to an autonomous SOC. It said it is increasing the share of SOC work processes performed autonomously through workflows that combine its Hybrid XDR platform “SPiDER ExD”, its SOAR solution “SPiDER SOAR” and its AI agent “AiR”.

Deuk-choon Lee (이득춘), chief executive of Igloo Corporation, said a growing sense of crisis over “AI-accelerated attacks” is emerging amid the recent appearance of successive large language model vulnerability detection tools. He said the company is focusing on building an autonomous SOC, which he described as a security operations goal that can strengthen fundamental cyber capabilities in response to such environmental changes, and on building an agentic SOC system, which he called a key to opening that path. He said it will support organisations so they can grow steadily even amid change.
