IT Operations Automation · Security and Compliance

DXC's security operations center was facing rapidly growing cyber complexity, including zero-day vulnerabilities, identity-based attacks, supply chain breaches, and AI-enabled adversary tactics, while analyst shortages and repetitive triage work were straining teams and slowing response.

68% reduction in time to acknowledge a ticket
77% reduction in triage and investigation time
Roughly eight months in
reduced reliance on Tier 1 SOC analysts by 100%

Reported impact

Business outcome

DXC reports materially faster SOC response and investigation workflows, full elimination of reliance on Tier 1 analysts for repetitive triage tasks, and the ability to redeploy staff into higher-value work such as threat intelligence analysis and threat hunting.

  • Productivity Improvement
  • Risk Reduction

Solution

DXC describes an internally built AI-driven transformation of its security operations center in which AI agents were developed and deployed across the SOC to automate repetitive front-line security work. The implementation focused on ticket triage, investigation support, and broader agentic protection workflows rather than a broad platform replacement. DXC says it introduced the agents through a controlled MVP approach, validating the model on smaller deployments, gathering feedback, then scaling across operations. In practice, the agents handle tedious triage work continuously, while human analysts provide judgment, oversight, and guardrail management for agent actions. The operating model integrates AI into existing SOC processes and talent workflows so analysts can move from Tier 1 repetitive work toward threat intelligence and threat hunting. The source does not name specific storage, model, or cloud components, so the described architecture is best understood as an in-house AI agent layer embedded into DXC's SOC workflow and analyst operating processes.

    • AI agents They automate repetitive SOC work such as ticket triage and support investigation workflows so analysts can focus on higher-value security tasks.

Architecture clues

  • Agents handle triage work 24/7 within the SOC operating model.
  • DXC says it 'developed and deployed AI agents across our SOC.'
  • Human analysts retain oversight to manage agent actions and guardrails.
  • The rollout followed a 'start small, scale fast' MVP approach before scaling.

Evidence from the source

"Agents handle tedious triage work 24/7 while our people direct their energy and expertise to the highest-impact areas of the business."
"By automating highly repetitive, mundane tasks within our SOC— such as ticket triage — we’ve reduced reliance on Tier 1 SOC analysts by 100%."
"Eventually, our teams experienced firsthand the disruptive impact of agentic protection, which includes a 68% reduction in time to acknowledge a ticket and a 77% reduction in triage and investigation time."
"We launched minimum viable products to validate our approach, gathered feedback, then rapidly scaled."
"We took this approach last fall when we developed and deployed AI agents across our SOC."
