Leidos Launches AI Agents to Triage Federal Cyber Alerts 24/7
Reston, Va. – – September 29, 2026 -- Leidos (NYSE:LDOS) unveiled UpHold EffectTM Agentic SOC Automation, a new capability using AI agents to triage cybersecurity alerts around the clock for federal security operations center teams, addressing a surge in alert volume driven by automated adversary attacks.
AI agents investigate threats while analysts retain final control over actions
The system works continuously to triage incoming alerts, gather contextual data and assemble findings for human analyst review. Customers determine the scope of AI authority, deciding whether the technology can only recommend actions or is permitted to execute them directly, based on mission requirements and risk tolerance.
Every AI decision generates an auditable record documenting what the system observed, concluded and proposed or executed, according to Leidos.
