DXC teams with 7AI to integrate agentic AI into security operations, enhancing automation and threat response without re-engineering existing systems.
DXC and 7AI Partner to Launch Agentic AI-Powered Security Operations Center
Global technology services provider DXC has announced a partnership with agentic AI-focused security technology developer 7AI to launch the DXC Agentic Security Operations Center (SoC), marking DXC’s first entry into the agentic AI space. The new DXC Agentic Security Operations Center combines DXC’s existing SoC capabilities with fully autonomous AI agents developed by 7AI. This integration enables end-to-end managed security operations, including alert ingestion, investigation of potential issues, and remediation. Chris Drumgoole, president of DXC’s Global Infrastructure Services business, emphasized the seamless integration of 7AI’s technology: “There’s a lot of people claiming to have AI agents. What we liked most about 7AI on the tech side is that it didn’t require a whole re-engineering of our process and tools. We had the ability to just plug in and augment the people we have today without having to re-engineer everything.” DXC, ranked No. 14 on CRN’s 2025 Solution Provider 500, evaluated multiple partners before selecting 7AI due to its ability to integrate directly into existing SoC operations and its strong collaborative team. Drumgoole added, “We did a lot of work with them, looking at how they built their tools, how they built their agents, how it’s going to work. Without getting into too many specifics, we made sure part of our job as the integrator, as the operator, is to have the ability to keep running our customers regardless of what happens to the underlying tech.” While DXC has long offered AI capabilities through its Platform X—an intelligent automation platform for predictive failure detection and maintenance—this partnership marks its first venture into agentic AI, which involves AI agents autonomously performing specific tasks traditionally done by humans. Lior Div, co-founder and CEO of 7AI, explained the technology behind their agentic security platform. Unlike generative AI models that produce text, 7AI’s platform leverages APIs and system integrations to autonomously operate security systems and conduct investigations. “When a human is doing a cyber investigation, the human will go to a specific system, query the system, ask a few questions, receive the answer, and then say, ‘OK, now I need to go to this system, log in there, query that system, and so on,’” Div said. “Our agentic AI agent mimics this work and is already performing investigations faster and more effectively than humans.” 7AI primarily works with channel partners, but the DXC partnership is unique. DXC will build a new service around 7AI’s technology and deliver it directly to customers, significantly expanding 7AI’s global market reach. “DXC is going to build a whole new service around the 7AI technology, and they’re going to serve their customers,” Div said. “Our reach to the global market suddenly moved from zero to 100 because they have a global reach with about 1,100 salespeople.” Div also highlighted that agentic AI is no longer a future concept but a present reality impacting Fortune 500 companies. “It’s happening now, faster than most expect.” Looking forward, Drumgoole sees agentic AI as transformative for DXC’s $7 billion infrastructure, cloud, and security operations business. “We think the opportunity for agentic AI in that space is limitless. It will enable us to handle higher volumes, predict failures faster, and respond to issues more effectively.” DXC is also experimenting with agentic AI internally, using AI agents to listen to outage calls and make real-time recommendations to speed resolution and improve service quality.Source Attribution: Originally published at CRN on August 5, 2025.
