What it does
AiSOC is a security operations center, the kind of system a company uses to watch its computers and accounts for attacks. It collects security records from your existing tools, checks them against a large library of detection rules, and groups related warnings into incidents.
An AI agent then investigates each incident. Every prompt it sends and every tool it uses is recorded in a log, so people can check its reasoning later. It proposes an action, but a human must approve before anything is changed.
It comes with a bundled local AI model and a free public threat list, so its makers say it works without any API keys (codes from online AI services). It can connect to many common security products, and it includes sample data so you can see how it works before connecting real systems.
Who it's for
Security teams and IT staff who want an open-source, self-hosted system for monitoring threats with AI help.
