AI Detection Engineer
A detection engineer that never stops tuning
The detect agent watches rule health, proposes tuning for noisy detections, surfaces coverage gaps, and turns plain-language intent into staged detection rules.
How it works
Rule health monitoring
Every triage verdict feeds per-rule health metrics — fire rates, false-positive ratios, escalation yield — so noisy rules are identified with evidence, not anecdotes.
Tuning proposals
For unhealthy rules the agent proposes threshold, window, and filter changes, each backtestable against historical events before promotion.
Staged rollout
New and changed rules run alert-only until they prove themselves; only then do they graduate to active and start feeding the triage queue.
Key capabilities
Coverage mapping
Detections map to MITRE ATT&CK so gaps are visible per tactic and log source.
Detection as code
Rules are declarative and Sigma-compatible, versioned like any other code.
Backtesting
Proposals replay against the event store before they ever page a human.
What security leaders say
“Dry-run workflows sold our change board on automated response. We see exactly what would happen before granting autonomy.”
Daniel Okafor
VP Security Operations, Cobalt Health
“We replaced a SIEM, a SOAR, and a UEBA add-on. One entity graph, one queue, one audit trail.”
Priya Raman
Head of Detection & Response, Vantagrid
“The autonomy ladder is the feature nobody else has. Recommend-only to approve-gated to autonomous, per action class, revocable any time.”
Tomás Herrera
Security Engineering Lead, Meridian Retail
Detect Agent agent: frequently asked questions
What does the Detect Agent agent do?
The detect agent watches rule health, proposes tuning for noisy detections, surfaces coverage gaps, and turns plain-language intent into staged detection rules. It operates as the AI Detection Engineer inside ManySignal's agentic SOC and MDR platform.
How is the Detect Agent agent governed?
Like every ManySignal agent, it runs under the autonomy ladder: recommend-only, approve-gated, or autonomous per action class, with dry-run previews and a tenant kill switch.
Can I audit the Detect Agent agent's decisions?
Yes. Every question it answers, every verdict, and every action is recorded on an immutable case timeline with evidence weights.
Does it work with my existing stack?
Yes. Declarative connectors normalise telemetry from cloud, identity, endpoint, and code sources into the entity graph the agent reasons over.
