Reinforcing Cyber Defense: Generative AI Powered Intelligent Agent Architecture for Enhanced Security Operations

With the rapid growth of Generative Artificial Intelligence, security leaders face significant opportunities and new risks. The fast progress in this area can be overwhelming due to the vast amount of information available. Generative AI is versatile and capable of working with text, video, audio, and images, making it possible to apply that in various information technology domains. This paper introduces a design to apply Generative AI to build an Intelligent Agent architecture for security operations. The solution is designed to enhance the effectiveness of security operations by optimizing and autonomously executing various tasks performed by the security operations team. The architecture integrates generative AI technologies at multiple stages of security operations analyst's workflow and process to improve threat detection, accelerate response times, and increase the overall accuracy of operations. This paper details the design and functionality of each component and discusses the potential of this architecture to transform cybersecurity practices by reducing manual effort and enhancing decision -making processes. Finally, the research discussed here provides a blueprint for future enhancements in SOC operations and serves as the foundation to shift toward more dynamic and intelligent cybersecurity operations.
