TLDR: Conifers.ai, a leader in agentic AI for Security Operations Centers (SOCs), has been named a Sample Vendor in the AI SOC Agents category within the Gartner® Hype Cycle™ for AI and Cybersecurity, 2025. Their CognitiveSOC™ platform leverages patent-pending agentic AI to significantly reduce incident resolution times and enhance the efficiency and accuracy of security operations.
DALLAS, August 21, 2025 – Conifers.ai, a pioneering force in transforming modern Security Operations Centers (SOCs) with its agentic AI platform, today announced its recognition as a Sample Vendor in the AI SOC Agents category in the Gartner® Hype Cycle™ for AI and Cybersecurity, 2025. This significant inclusion underscores the growing importance of artificial intelligence in bolstering cybersecurity defenses.
Gartner’s Hype Cycle for AI and Cybersecurity, 2025, highlights how generative AI is accelerating innovation across the security landscape. According to Gartner, this Hype Cycle empowers Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs) to leverage AI advancements to strengthen their cybersecurity programs and provide robust security guidance for AI initiatives. The focus on agentic AI in SOCs was a key area for analysts in developing this inaugural Hype Cycle dedicated to AI and Cybersecurity.
Security Operations Centers globally face immense pressure from an escalating volume of cyber threats, an overwhelming number of alerts, and a persistent shortage of skilled analysts. These challenges are further compounded as attackers increasingly adopt AI to enhance the speed and sophistication of their attacks. Conifers.ai addresses these critical issues with its CognitiveSOC™ platform.
Conifers.ai’s patent-pending agentic AI technology delivers deep, contextual, and end-to-end investigations for multi-tier incidents. The company asserts that its CognitiveSOC™ platform can cut resolution times by up to 87%, enabling enterprises and Managed Security Service Providers (MSSPs) to scale operations efficiently, improve accuracy, and significantly reduce risk.
Tom Findling, CEO and co-founder of Conifers.ai, commented on the recognition, stating, “Security teams have been forced to make an impossible choice between speed and accuracy in the face of overwhelming alerts and increasingly sophisticated, AI-powered threats.” He added, “Since our launch earlier this year, we have quickly moved to the forefront of the AI SOC category. We believe that this recognition, along with several other Gartner report inclusions this year, is further evidence of how Conifers is helping SecOps teams quickly and accurately address these challenges.”
Gartner’s analysis supports the potential of such technologies, noting that ‘AI SOC agent tools promise security operations leaders an opportunity to augment their workforce across a wide range of activities performed by various roles.’ The report suggests that effective augmentation can lead to a reduction in the time required for tasks like managing false positives, and can also contribute to other program benefits such as reducing required skill sets, minimizing errors, and boosting the overall performance of SOC operations.
