Flashpoint launches threat investigation AI agents to automate security work
Threat intelligence company Flashpoint today introduced Flashpoint Agentic AI, a new product that provides purpose-built artificial intelligence agents to help organizations accelerate threat investigations, automate cybersecurity intelligence tasks and scale operations.
Today’s threat environment is increasingly fueled by AI, which has brought the bar down considerably and allowed malicious actors to scale their operations. AI is transforming cyberattacks by making them faster to develop, more scalable, cheaper to execute and more difficult to detect. This means that any time a new vulnerability is uncovered, it can be exploited in record time.
Individuals with little or no knowledge of programming or infrastructure can use large language models to rapidly develop attack patterns, write malicious code and plan attack paths.
“The AI threat landscape is accelerating faster than many threat intelligence teams can keep up,” said founder and Chief Executive Josh Lefkowitz. “Flashpoint Agentic AI helps close that gap by taking on recurring work that unnecessarily consumes teams’ time, freeing them to focus on connecting the dots.”
As part of the new offering, the company is launching Agentic Hub, a new environment within Flashpoint Ignite, a cyberthreat intelligence and vulnerability management platform, that brings together chat and purpose-built agents, along with product-specific agents.
The company said that instead of traditional AI agents, which support individual tasks such as search and summarization, the new Agentic AI product allows teams to delegate defined, multi-step intelligence work to specialized agents.
Agent Hub will initially launch with chat that can turn any question into a multi-step investigation, follow the traces of vulnerability, credential, fraud and threat actor intelligence to provide source-linked information. A series of agents provides intelligence briefings, alert setup and triage. Finally, the PIR Agent takes plain-language intelligence requirements and turns them into structured PIRs, or priority intelligence requirements, that provide specific, decision-oriented guides for an organization to collect and analyze cyber threat intelligence.
According to the company’s 2026 Enterprise Threat Intelligence Report, 65% of survey respondents identified alert noise and false positives as a challenge affecting security effectiveness, while 55% cited insufficient analyst bandwidth.
