Decision

What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-08-20

Proceed with caution

Why
Strong vendor metrics and very high market activity, but the high-value hunting/detection agents are preview-stage with a documented real-attack blind spot, and the agentic-SOC model still depends on human escalation gates.
Next
Pilot the GA Triage agent on a non-critical alert queue with mandatory analyst sign-off; treat the preview Detection Engineering agent as a coverage-gap finder (review rules before enabling), not auto-enable.
