Accelerating the Agentic AI SOC Movement with Amex Ventures and Citi Ventures

SOC teams are under more pressure than ever. Alert volume keeps climbing, attackers are moving faster, and repetitive triage and investigation continue to consume time that analysts should be spending on higher‑value work. At the same time, the threat landscape is changing dramatically: according to the Crowdstrike 2026 Global Threat Report, attacks by AI‑enabled adversaries increased by 89% in 2025, and the average eCrime breakout time dropped to just 29 minutes, a 65% increase in speed from 2024.

​Security leaders don’t need another dashboard or a copilot. They need a way to close the gap between attacker speed and defender capacity without adding complexity. That’s exactly where Agentic AI comes in.

Welcoming Amex Ventures and Citi Ventures

Today, we’re announcing strategic investments from Amex Ventures and Citi Ventures in Prophet Security, joining Accel and Bain Capital Ventures in backing our mission to build the Agentic AI SOC Platform for modern security teams. They understand the pain of rising alert volumes, faster AI‑driven attacks, and SOC teams stretched to their limits, and they share our belief that Agentic AI is the right approach to give defenders leverage.

​This investment accelerates our ability to get the Prophet Agentic AI SOC Platform into the hands of more teams that need a force multiplier against rapidly evolving threats.

Agentic AI in practice

Prophet AI works alongside analysts, automating manual, time‑sensitive workflows across triage, investigations, threat hunting, and incident response. Fortune 500 companies and large enterprises across financial services, healthcare, manufacturing, high tech, and media are already using the platform and seeing tangible results: 0 minutes of alert dwell time, mean time to respond around 4 minutes, 98.5% fewer false positives compared to relying on existing tools alone, and a 10x increase in team productivity.

Analysts stay focused on strategy and applying judgment, while Agentic AI handles the investigative heavy lifting. This is role elevation, not role elimination.

Why now

The Agentic AI SOC movement is real and accelerating. Gartner® Research notes a rise in AI SOC agent technologies that help overcome scale barriers in security operations and predicts that by 2027, 25% of common SOC tasks will become 50% more cost efficient due to automation and hyper‑scaling strategies. In a world where AI‑enabled adversaries have reduced breakout time to under 30 minutes, Agentic AI is no longer a nice‑to‑have, it is table stakes.

We’re grateful to Amex Ventures and Citi Ventures for their support, and to our customers and the Prophet team, your trust and work make this possible. 

If your SOC is dealing with alert overload or long investigation times, we’d be happy to show you what Prophet AI looks like in practice.
