CrowdStrike, Cisco and Palo Alto Networks all shipped agentic SOC tools at RSAC 2026 — the agent behavioral baseline gap survived all three

The RSA Conference 2026 saw major cybersecurity companies like CrowdStrike, Cisco, and Palo Alto Networks release agentic Security Operations Center (SOC) tools, despite which the agent behavioral baseline gap remains a significant challenge. This gap refers to the difficulty in establishing a reliable baseline for normal agent behavior, making it hard to detect and respond to threats in a timely manner, which is critical given the rapidly decreasing adversary breakout times.

⚡ Key Takeaways

• CrowdStrike, Cisco, and Palo Alto Networks have introduced agentic SOC tools, indicating a shift towards more advanced threat detection and response capabilities.
• The fastest recorded adversary breakout time has decreased to 27 seconds, with an average of 29 minutes, emphasizing the need for swift and effective security measures.
• The agent behavioral baseline gap persists, posing a significant challenge for defenders in accurately identifying and mitigating threats.
