What happened
Prophet Security announced (July 30, 2026, at Black Hat USA) general availability of AI Detection Engineer, which autonomously identifies detection coverage gaps, authors and tunes detection rules, backtests changes, and builds a live MITRE ATT&CK coverage map from completed investigations.
Why it matters
Extends agentic SOC automation beyond triage/investigation into the historically manual, understaffed discipline of detection engineering, with configurable autonomy and audit/rollback controls.
Applicability
SOC teams already using or evaluating agentic AI SOC platforms; GA now, adjustable autonomy levels for phased adoption.
