STREAMLINING SECURITY INVESTIGATIONS WITH AGENTS

Summary from the TLDR InfoSec newsletter

Slack's security team introduced an agentic system for investigating security issues that involves a Director persona instructing a series of SME personas, with the results checked by a Critic persona. The Director persona reviews the investigation's status and poses a question to the experts, who use their domain expertise to prepare answers. The Director then queries those answers to advance the investigation loop or conclude the investigation. This system also enables cost optimization: expert personas, which process more data, can use cheaper models, whereas the Director persona, which requires more reasoning, can use more expensive models.
