How 7AI Is Rebuilding The SOC Around Agentic AI: CEO Lior Div

The two-year-old startup is rapidly expanding to offer an agentic platform that can provide a ‘full operating system’ for the Security Operations Center, Div tells CRN.

7AI is aiming to build on the massive momentum with partners and customers for its AI-powered security investigations to offer a complete agentic AI platform for the Security Operations Center (SOC), according to 7AI co-founder and CEO Lior Div.

In an interview with CRN, Div said that the two-year-old startup is rapidly expanding its agentic product offerings into a platform providing a “full operating system” for the modern SOC.

The ultimate goal is to reimagine the way that SOC teams work to take full advantage of agentic capabilities and move faster, he said—at a time when this is increasingly necessary as AI also accelerates the speed and scale of cyberattacks.

“We’re transforming from an investigation-only company to a full operating system for the modern SOC that goes all the way from detection to response—detect, investigate, respond and hunt,” Div said.

That will include SIEM (security information and event management), SOAR (security orchestration automation and response), autonomous threat hunting and other key capabilities, he said.

“We’re taking all of those things and putting them together on one agentic platform, [where] every piece speaks with every other piece,” Div said. “What we’re building right now is the end-to-end security operating system.”

And it shouldn’t be long before that full set of tools is available, he said, as the startup is “running fast” in its development cycles. The company is targeting early June for the launch of the additional capabilities, according to Div.

The platform expansion follows the $130 million Series A funding round raised by the company in December. Led by Index Ventures, the round is the largest Series A in cybersecurity industry history, according to 7AI.

The startup was launched in 2024 by Div, a repeat entrepreneur in security who was formerly CEO and co-founder of Cybereason, and CTO Yonatan Striem-Amit, also formerly a Cybereason co-founder.

The initial focus at 7AI has been on providing autonomous agents to handle critical security operations tasks such as alert triage and investigations. The AI agents leverage dynamic reasoning capabilities in order to adapt to various scenarios and eliminate false positives—ultimately enabling faster responses within security operations.

In August 2025, the startup unveiled a partnership with technology services provider giant DXC Technology that combines DXC’s security operations capabilities with autonomous AI agents from 7AI.

At DXC, No. 14 on CRN’s Solution Provider 500 for 2025, utilizing 7AI has enabled the company to achieve its goal of becoming “fully agentic across all SIEM use cases,” said Michael Baker, CISO at DXC Technology.

The result is that DXC has been able to automate a full 50 percent of the work that its SOC team had needed to handle manually in the past, Baker said. That has allowed DXC to redeploy those Tier 1 and Tier 2 personnel to do higher-value work for customers, he said.

In addition, “we’re 80 percent quicker to grab a ticket and triage a ticket,” Baker said. “And that’s just going to get better.”

The bottom line is that through its work with 7AI, DXC is confident that it’s now “effectively one of the premier agentic SOC implementations in the world,” he said.

Major Traction, Partner Focus

Even as other players have flooded into the agentic SOC segment, 7AI believes it is likely the “most deployed” offering so far in the space—and “for sure [has] the most revenue of all the players in this field,” Div said.

7AI is also placing a major focus on the channel, with 100 percent of deals involving a partner, according to Div. In fact, nearly half of the company’s deal pipeline—45 percent—is partner-sourced, he said.

“The number [of deals] that the partners are generating is crazy,” Div said.

And even as a company so heavily built around AI, the idea of cutting out the partner is unthinkable, he said.

“It’s the opposite,” Div said. “People need people. And the customer needs those trusted partners.”

Ultimately, 7AI believes that as it expands to provide a full agentic SOC platform, this will be the technology that can put defenders on an even the playing field with AI-empowered attackers, he said.

“If the bad guys are going to have access to this type of technology, everything that we did in the past 30 years is going to change in a significant way,” Div said. “As a result, I believe that my mission is to enable people to fight fire with fire.”
