Swimlane, a provider of agentic AI automation for security functions, has announced the general availability of its AI Agent workforce, comprising a suite of Hero AI agents, now integrated into the enhanced Swimlane Turbine platform and accessible via the Swimlane Marketplace.
This release represents a strategic advancement in delivering enterprise-ready intelligence through a scalable, simplified, and cost-effective approach. Currently, Swimlane’s AI agents and automation collectively perform work equivalent to over 60,000 security operations center (SOC) analysts daily across its customer base, enabling security teams to respond more rapidly and efficiently.
Swimlane’s vision for this development is to leverage AI to reduce complexity and establish a new benchmark for measurable security capacity. The platform allows organizations to develop, optimize, and deploy AI agents tailored to their specific tools, data, and processes. Each agent operates as an intelligent, autonomous service within Turbine, utilizing its integrated autoscaling engine to execute actions.
Cody Cornell, Co-Founder and CEO at Swimlane, stated, “AI is expanding the scope of what can be automated in security beyond previous capabilities. Security workflows that historically required human intervention can now leverage expert agents to enhance automation in their environments. When AI agents are paired with the controlled parameters of playbooks, they offer a smarter, simpler, and more cost-effective alternative to executing entire workflows solely via tokens. This approach integrates automation where it is most effective and augments it with AI when dynamic reasoning is necessary, forming the foundation of a modern AI SOC.”
The introduction of this AI Agent workforce signifies a new operational model for increasingly autonomous security, where human teams manage fleets of expert AI agents to accelerate risk mitigation with reduced effort. Alongside this launch, Swimlane has updated the Turbine user experience to streamline the deployment of AI agents. Enhancements to Turbine Canvas now enable users to drag and drop AI agents directly into playbooks, facilitating automation design and adoption.
Building upon four foundational agents introduced in November 2025, new features include Agents as Intelligent Microservices, capable of complex reasoning, planning, and specialized task execution. For instance, tasks that once required multiple deterministic playbook steps, such as querying various threat intelligence feeds, can now be managed by a single intelligent agent that provides a unified and explainable verdict.
Playbooks continue to serve as orchestrators and guardrails within Swimlane Turbine’s flexible user experience, allowing customers to define logic, optimize costs, and enforce operational boundaries. Whether triggering AI or necessitating human-in-the-loop validation, playbooks maintain predictable, auditable, and compliant security operations. Swimlane aims to simplify AI enhancement by combining AI-powered reasoning with structured workflows, making advanced automation more accessible while preserving the flexibility and control required by global enterprises and Managed Security Service Providers (MSSPs).
Michael Lyborg, CISO at Swimlane, commented, “The power of this release lies in its ability to integrate AI across all aspects of security operations without imposing rigid outcomes. This is a foundational shift, not an add-on feature. Within our own SOC, we have observed a 75% reduction in mean time to respond and thousands of cases resolved autonomously, demonstrating the measurable impact of well-implemented AI-powered automation.”
The new Swimlane Hero AI Agents are available now. Further details and a demo request can be made via swimlane.com/demo. Resources including a list of available Hero AI agents are on marketplace.swimlane.com, information on Swimlane Hero AI at swimlane.com/platform/ai/, and details on Swimlane Turbine at swimlane.com/swimlane-turbine/. Swimlane is also hosting a webinar, “From Automation to Autonomy: Tips for Building Your Custom AI Agent Workforce,” on February 12 at 11:30 AM ET.
Swimlane states its belief that the convergence of agentic AI and automation can address complex security, compliance, and IT/OT operations challenges. The company positions itself as offering the first and only AI automation platform for every security function, providing the scale and flexibility to unify security teams, tools, and telemetry to proactively address emerging threats.
