AI-based security operations and analytics platform company Igloo Corporation said on Wednesday it was selected as an implementing organisation for a prototype development project under the Korea Internet & Security Agency (KISA)-led "2026 Artificial Intelligence (AI) Security Promising Company Fostering Support Programme".

Igloo Corporation plans to speed up advancement of its "Agentic AI" platform to realise an "Autonomous Security Operations Center (Autonomous SOC)" that responds to AI-based cyber threats.

An autonomous SOC is the highest maturity level among security operations models. A key methodology and architecture for realising it is "Agentic SOC", in which humans and AI agents collaborate to perform judgement, reasoning and response tasks.

Igloo Corporation will begin developing and upgrading an "agentic AI platform" in which multiple AI agents collaborate based on workflows to carry out security operations. It will also start developing and upgrading detection, analysis and response AI agents based on the platform. It will build an AI model operations system that links and operates AI models, including security-specialised large and small language models (LLM and sLLM), as agent reasoning engines. It will design a collaboration architecture for multiple AI agents that perform detection, analysis and response tasks. It will develop workflow management functions that define and control agents' execution procedures and decision flows. It will also develop a Model Context Protocol (MCP)-based interface that supports integration between AI agents and heterogeneous security solutions such as SIEM, SOAR and CTI.

Lee Deuk-choon (이득춘), chief executive of Igloo Corporation, said AI-based cyber attacks are increasing in speed and sophistication, raising the need for an autonomous and proactive response system at security operations sites. He said the company will upgrade its autonomous SOC system through the KISA project and strengthen proactive defence capabilities based on agentic AI. He said it will demonstrate the effectiveness of autonomous AI security operations to the market through development and verification.
