eSentire Advances Controlled Autonomy SecOps with Agentic AI That Preempts, Detects, and Responds in a Single Unified Platform

Preempt platform modules expands with autonomous offensive capabilities helping mitigate the future AI vulnerability onslaught

WATERLOO, Ontario--(BUSINESS WIRE)--eSentire, a leader in Controlled Autonomy SecOps, today announced new preempt, detect, and respond capabilities within the Atlas Platform, a unified agentic AI platform with purpose-built AI Operatives that work together in a continuous security lifecycle. The company also announced the addition of a new officer, Ilan Mindel, as Chief Cyber Officer.

Controlled Autonomy SecOps

The Atlas Platform delivers purpose-built and adaptive AI operative infrastructure in a continuous closed loop across autonomous AI offensive security, exposure management, and Managed Detection and Response (MDR) services. It executes hundreds of thousands of autonomous investigations and responses across 2,000+ customer environments with 95%+ senior-analyst alignment and operates vendor-independently across any integration. eSentire operates as a human-on-the-loop, pairing agentic AI operatives with engineered human-judgment controls, delivering expert-depth security outcomes at machine speed.

In a single, unified approach, eSentire closes the four primary gaps in modern enterprise security: attacker velocity, exploit acceleration, talent and tool gaps, and vendor lock-in. The Atlas Platform seamlessly integrates into existing infrastructures without disrupting current technology investments or relying on unproven, opaque automation. Recognizing that relying on a single vendor's ecosystem creates systemic risk rather than a resilient strategy; eSentire provides holistic protection across the entire digital estate, independent of the underlying technology stack.

“AI has compressed the attacker's timelines from weeks to hours. Defenders need to keep pace, continuously, and with judgement. With Atlas, offensive AI surfaces the exposures attackers would exploit, and that evidence drives detection, response, and remediation in the customer's environment. That is Controlled Autonomy SecOps, expert-depth capability governed by the engineered human controls that regulators, boards, and insurers require," said Dustin Hillard, Chief Product and Technology Officer, eSentire. "Our customers don't measure us in alerts triaged or hours saved, they measure us in attacks that never achieve business disruption."

Enhanced Atlas Platform capabilities include:

• Continuous attacker view of exploitable exposure via autonomous AI offensive security
• Offense-to-defense correlation: proven exploits feed live MDR detection
• Evidence-based coverage gap recommendations, prioritized by environmental risk
• Identity enrichment and confidence scoring for credential-based attack detection

Enhanced Offensive Security

The company also announced today the appointment of Ilan Mindel as Chief Cyber Officer, leading a new dedicated offensive cyber team. The offensive cyber team integrates continuous adversarial capabilities into the Atlas Platform, evolving beyond defense and response to proactive hunting and eliminating exposures before they can be exploited. With deep expertise in cybersecurity architecture, adversarial simulation, exposure validation, and threat exposure management, Mindel is responsible for eSentire’s offensive security strategy and the advancement of proactive cyber defense.

"AI and cyber risk are converging faster than ever, and that demands a new standard for resilience. I joined eSentire to sharpen how we simulate real-world adversaries and neutralize skyrocketing exposures before they're exploited. Our mission is clear: deliver MDR that moves first, preempting, detecting, and responding, so organizations everywhere can shift from reactive defense to proactive, AI-driven security," said Mindel.

eSentire also offers customers:

• Mean Time to Engage (MTTE) <30 seconds: eSentire’s AI Agent Operatives engage the signal in less than 30-seconds.
• Autonomous Signal Triage 100% of signals: While traditional SOCs queue alerts for human triage, eSentire’s agentic layer touches every signal immediately, meaning no queue and no analyst pickup delay.
• Signal to full threat context <5 minutes: eSentire provides enrichment, correlation, and investigation of signal telemetry in less than five minutes.
