Swimlane Launches AI Agents and Agent Builder for the Security Workforce

Swimlane, the leader in agentic AI automation for every security function, today announced its AI Agent workforce, a suite of powerful Hero AI agents, now available in Swimlane Marketplace and natively integrated into an enhanced Swimlane Turbine platform experience. These expert agents represent a significant step forward in delivering enterprise-ready intelligence in a scalable, simple and cost-effective manner. Today, Swimlane AI agents and automation are performing the equivalent of over 60,000 SOC analysts’ work each day across Swimlane’s customer base, empowering teams to act faster, with less effort and on their own terms.

This announcement reflects Swimlane’s vision to leverage AI to eliminate complexity and establish a new standard for measurable security capacity. With Swimlane, organizations can rapidly build, optimize and deploy AI agents uniquely tailored to their tools, data and processes. Each agent operates as an intelligent, autonomous service within Turbine, leveraging its integrated autoscaling engine to drive action.

“AI is opening the aperture greater than ever before on what can be automated in security. Security workflows that once required human-in-the-loop can now leverage expert agents to drive even more automation in their environments,” said Cody Cornell, Co-Founder and CEO at Swimlane. “When AI agents are coupled with the guardrails of playbooks. They make it smarter, simpler and more cost-effective than doing entire workflows via tokens alone. It’s about using automation where it works best and augmenting it with AI when dynamic reasoning is required. That’s how AI and automation truly converge to power the modern AI SOC.”

The Future of the AI SOC

This release introduces a new paradigm for increasingly autonomous security operations, in which humans manage fleets of expert AI agents that accelerate the closure of security risks with less effort.

Alongside this release, Swimlane is enhancing the Turbine user experience to make deploying AI agents easier, faster and more intuitive than ever. Updates to Turbine Canvas now allow users to drag and drop AI agents directly into playbooks, streamlining automation design and accelerating adoption across teams.

Building on the four foundational agents launched in November 2025, new agent features include:

• Agents as Intelligent Microservices: Hero AI agents perform complex reasoning, planning, and performing specialized tasks dynamically. Tasks that once required multiple deterministic playbook steps, like querying multiple threat intelligence feeds, can now be handled by a single intelligent agent that delivers a unified, explainable verdict.
• Playbooks as Orchestrators and Guardrails: Swimlane Turbine’s flexible user experience remains essential, giving customers the control they need to define logic, optimize costs, and enforce guardrails. Whether triggering AI or requiring human-in-the-loop validation, playbooks keep operations predictable, auditable, and compliant.
• AI-Enhanced Made Simple: Swimlane combines AI-powered reasoning with structured workflows to make advanced automation more accessible. AI agents lower the barrier to entry while maintaining the flexibility and control that global enterprises and MSSPs rely on.

“What makes this release so powerful is that it brings AI into every corner of security operations, without locking teams into rigid outcomes,” said Michael Lyborg, CISO at Swimlane. “This isn’t a bolt-on feature. It’s a foundational shift. In our own SOC, we’ve seen a 75% reduction in mean time to respond, and thousands of cases closed autonomously. That’s the measurable impact of AI-powered automation done right.”
