Rise of Agentic AI in Cybersecurity

Leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) to enhance cybersecurity defenses and enable faster threat detection and response has grown immensely in the last 2.5 years. However, cybercriminals also utilize AI to develop more sophisticated attacks. These include using AI-generated malware and deepfake phishing campaigns. Hence, making AI-driven threats and defense the top cybersecurity trend in 2025.  

SealingTech’s Nathan Delgado speaks at TechNet Cyber in Baltimore.

This presents both opportunities and challenges for defensive cyber innovators like SealingTech. At TechNet Cyber 2025 in Baltimore, Maryland, where many vendors appear to be following trends and merely talking about AI, we remain one of the few able to demo a fully developed GenAI solution that provides real-world value and supports the mission for the warfighter.  

Operator X: a GenAI solution that protects critical data through enhanced information awareness. 

Cyber Warfighter Challenges 

For new DoD cyber operators, their military occupational specialty (MOS) training entails learning complex system engineering and administration tasks required for cyber hunt missions. When operators have questions in the field, most can articulate their intent but often lack the experience to execute it on complex cyber systems. In addition, missions frequently require offline operations with limited internet. Accessing ChatGPT or other GenAI model platforms is typically forbidden due to the risk of sensitive data leakage. 

Solving Pain Points with GenAI  

SealingTech wrestled with the challenges faced by the cyber warfighter and created Operator X: a GenAI solution that bridges the knowledge gap while supercharging defensive cyber operations with advanced reasoning capabilities accessible via simple natural language. 

How does it work? Operator X helps automate common tasks and provides an extensive, domain specific knowledge base. It enhances operator capabilities through modular integrations with existing cybersecurity tools and cutting-edge Large Language Model (LLM) methodologies including Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG), fine-tuned models, and custom-built agents.   

• Designed for air-gapped cyber operations 

• Leverages Meta Llama 3.3 70B instruct model and multi-modal models 

• Custom-built RAG pipeline for document ingest and intelligence analysis 

• Seamlessly integrates Elastic, Splunk, Nmap, and Suricata 

AI for Offline Cyber Missions 

SealingTech’s Operator X: a GenAI solution that protects critical data.

• Provides a cybersecurity knowledge base tuned to a warfighter’s unique environment  

• Generates complex network detections and queries with natural language prompts  

• Elevates junior analysts to senior-level capability with minimal additional training  

• Enables seamless visibility and reporting across your security stack  

• Direct integrations with standard security tools including SIEM, IDS/IPS, and incident management platforms  

• Fully offline solution with zero reliance on external cloud systems or networks 

Meeting Customers Where They Are 

At TechNet Cyber, I presented “Operator X: Transforming Cyber Defense with GenAI” where I explained the powerful potential behind using agents to bolster LLMs with a RAG pipeline for cyber defense.  

The audience responded enthusiastically and by their questions, immediately recognized the value in Operator X and how the GenAI solution protects critical data and would be useful in their workflows. Like the rest of the SealingTech platform, Operator X meets customers where they are, by integrating within their current toolsets and existing systems.  

Next Steps for Operator X 

In a time when spending is under high scrutiny across industries, doing more with less has become a key focus for us with Operator X. We’re exploring ways to bring its power and capability to resource constrained environments, thus delivering more versatility and value for our customers. 

Over the next months, our team will continue to deeply integrate Operator X within SealingTech’s platform as an agent for cyber tools and in our Cyber Hunt Kits infrastructure. This includes expanding Operator X to automate configuration and deployment of Kit infrastructure and utilizing its reasoning capabilities and intelligence awareness to help triage and investigate alerts from other systems.
