Swimlane Rolls Out New AI Agents To Close Security Talent Gap

Swimlane, an agentic AI automation provider, has announced “AI Agent Workforce,” a suite of “Hero AI” agents now available via the Swimlane Marketplace and natively integrated into the updated Swimlane Turbine platform experience.

Using automation where it works best for security workflows

According to Swimlane, the new suite reflects their vision of leveraging AI to eliminate operational complexity and establish a new standard for measurable security capacity. 

“AI is opening the aperture greater than ever before on what can be automated in security. Security workflows that once required human-in-the-loop can now leverage expert agents to drive even more automation in their environments,” said Cody Cornell, co-founder and chief executive officer at Swimlane. 

“When AI agents are coupled with the guardrails of playbooks, they make it smarter, simpler, and more cost-effective than doing entire workflows via tokens alone. It’s about using automation where it works best and augmenting it with AI when dynamic reasoning is required. That’s how AI and automation truly converge to power the modern AI SOC,” Cornell added.

Turbine user experience improvements target faster AI agent deployments

Swimlane also said it is updating the Turbine user experience to make deploying AI agents faster and more straightforward. 

Among the changes, Turbine Canvas now lets users drag and drop AI agents directly into playbooks, aiming to streamline automation design and speed adoption across security teams.

Swimlane says the release builds on the four “foundational” agents they launched back in November 2025. The new agent features include:

• Agents as Intelligent Microservices: Hero AI agents perform complex reasoning, planning, and performing specialized tasks dynamically. Tasks like querying multiple threat intelligence feeds can now be handled by a single intelligent agent that delivers a unified, explainable verdict.
• Playbooks as Orchestrators and Guardrails: Swimlane Turbine’s flexible user experience offers customers control to define logic, optimize costs, and enforce guardrails.
• AI-Enhanced Made Simple: Pairs AI-powered reasoning with structured workflows to lower the barrier to entry and make advanced automation easier to adopt.

Bringing AI into all aspects of SecOps

Swimlane CISO Michael Lyborg said the new AI agents reflect a shift in how agentic technology is applied to cybersecurity, with a focus on automating to strengthen an organization’s security posture.

“What makes this release so powerful is that it brings AI into every corner of security operations, without locking teams into rigid outcomes,” Lyborg said.

“This isn’t a bolt-on feature. It’s a foundational shift. In our own SOC, we’ve seen a 75% reduction in mean time to respond, and thousands of cases closed autonomously. That’s the measurable impact of AI-powered automation done right,” Lyborg added.

The Swimlane Hero AI Agents are available now through the Swimlane Marketplace.
