USE CASE · ALERT TRIAGE AND RESPONSE

Stop drowning in alerts.
Start closing them.

Coordinated AI agents triage, investigate, and respond across endpoint, identity, network, and cloud – opening your analysts up to solve cases that matter, not the queue. 60% faster investigations. 3x–10x analyst throughput.

Scenario 01 · Suspicious PowerShell alert triage
TC
You
Bricklayer Assistant

I can triage this PowerShell alert using endpoint telemetry from CrowdStrike, IOC enrichment from VirusTotal and AlienVault OTX, network activity correlation through Splunk, and threat intelligence from your connected sources.

Proposed investigation plan
  1. Explain the alert and pull the full process tree from CrowdStrike.
  2. Decode the obfuscated PowerShell command and identify intent.
  3. Extract IOCs — file hashes, domains, IPs, URLs — from the command.
  4. Look up IOCs across VirusTotal, AlienVault OTX, and internal intel.
  5. Search Splunk for related activity on other endpoints in the last 24 hours.
  6. Reassess alert severity based on enrichment findings.
  7. Generate determination and recommend response actions.

# Task Agent Status
Compiling findings…
Findings so far
  • The PowerShell command, once Base64-decoded, attempts to download a payload from secure-update[.]online and execute it in memory.
  • The domain was registered 3 days ago via Namecheap and is fronted by Cloudflare with rapidly cycling IPs — classic short-lived staging infrastructure.
  • The payload file hash a3f…d92e matches a known Cobalt Strike beacon variant (VirusTotal: 47 of 72 vendors flag).
  • Process tree confirms the parent is winword.exe — initial access vector is a malicious Office macro.
  • Splunk correlation surfaced 2 additional WIN-FIN endpoints with the same parent process pattern in the last 18 hours.
  • AlienVault OTX attributes the domain to an active campaign run by a financially motivated commodity threat actor.
  • Severity reassessed: Medium → Critical, based on confirmed malicious payload and lateral-spread indicators.

THE PROBLEM

Why Your Analysts Are Still Drowning

Too many alerts.
Not enough time.

Endpoint, identity, network, and cloud signals all generate noise. Analysts chase context across disconnected tools. Decisions are inconsistent. Backlogs keep growing.

This isn't a tooling problem.
It's a coordination problem.

THE APPROACH

What Coordinated AI Agents Actually Look Like.

With Bricklayer, alert triage is handled by a coordinated workforce of AI agents under your team's command, working with the tools you already use. Your team, now with the experts they've always needed.

  • Deep expertise across your existing tools and disciplines.
  • Investigates in parallel across areas of responsibility.
  • Shares context across every step, nothing gets lost.
  • Decisions are made with full visibility.
  • Outcomes and learnings improve over time.
  • Every decision is governed, consistent, and auditable.
FROM CONVERSATION TO COMMAND

Five steps. One governed workflow.

Security investigations don't fail for lack of data. They fail for lack of coordination. Here's how Bricklayer turns a conversation into organized, executed, and governed action across your SOC.

STEP 01Conversation

Converse With Assistant.

Turn natural language into structured security workflows. Designed, adjusted, and ready to execute.

  • Conversation-driven design
  • Build an investigation plan
  • Review and refine the plan
  • Execute with one click
  • Save and reuse workflows
STEP 02Reporting

Investigation Reports.

Generate structured reports and audit-ready evidence packages for analyst review and compliance.

  • Generate structured reports
  • Collect and preserve evidence
  • Explain AI reasoning clearly
  • Produce audit-ready outputs
  • Document operational decisions
STEP 03Tasks

Task-Level Execution.

Decompose investigations into discrete tasks, each handled by a specialized agent with traceable outputs.

  • Decompose tasks automatically
  • Assign specialized agents
  • Deliver structured outputs
  • Trace every execution step
  • Reuse operational logic
STEP 04Orchestration

Visual Orchestration.

Visually orchestrate agents, procedures, and execution paths inside a governed workspace.

  • Map task dependencies visually
  • Orchestrate multi-step procedures
  • Converse with agents, question their decisions
  • Coordinate agents in real time
  • Visualize end-to-end operational flow
STEP 05Governance

Procedure Engineering and Governance.

Establish human oversight through governed prompts, structured controls, and reusable procedures.

  • Human-in-the-loop oversight
  • Define structured context and inputs
  • Build and reuse procedures at scale
  • Engineer and version prompts
  • Maintain operational control and governance
AT SCALE

What This Looks Like at Scale

60%+ reduction in triage time
3x–10x increase in without adding headcount
Triage Decisions that are consistent and repeatable
100% auditable agent activity
Reduce backlog without lowering standards.

WHY BRICKLAYER

A workforce, not a workflow.

Most AI SOC platforms automate the work. Agents operate independently. Context resets between steps. And when something goes wrong, there's no clear record of why a decision was made.

Our AI agents go farther. They share context, work as a coordinated team, and provide full visibility for analysts. Bricklayer's agentic cybersecurity platform is a workforce for the AI SOC, operating under human control.
