AI in a Splunk SOC: Agentic Investigation Without Rip-and-Replace



AI Engineer
He builds the interface that lets users design agentic workflows inside Arcanna, the place where a complex investigation gets decomposed into a chain of agents, each with the right tools and guardrails. He spends his time where AI engineering meets the operational reality of production SOCs.

“SOAR was built for predictable workflows. SOC reality isn’t predictable.”
Why SOAR’s scaling ceiling isn’t compute — it’s the playbook maintenance burden — and what replaces it.

Chief Data Scientist
“AI without governance isn’t intelligence. It’s exposure.”
What a Trust Layer actually does — and why grounded decisions, drift control, and rollback are the price of putting AI in front of operations.

Denis Stefan
AI Engineer
“An agentic investigation works when the agent knows what it doesn’t know.”
How agentic investigations actually run end-to-end — structured outputs, decision-model guardrails, and verification at every step.
