As managed security service providers push toward greater automation in security operations, Stellar Cyber’s latest recognition underscores how artificial intelligence is reshaping the SOC. The company’s Open XDR SecOps platform received the 2025 Cybersecurity Breakthrough Award for Security Automation Solution of the Year, highlighting its role in reducing analyst workload and accelerating threat response.
Announced October 15, 2025, the award follows the release of version 6.1 of Stellar Cyber’s platform, which introduces expanded automation features for phishing analysis, alert triage, and incident investigation. The system uses agentic AI—software that assists human analysts by turning isolated alerts into case-level insights with recommended actions.
For MSSPs and enterprise security teams, the technology aims to consolidate security data from multiple tools into one platform, automating repetitive tasks while keeping analysts in control of final decisions.
The recognition points to a broader industry trend: security operations centers are moving toward human-guided automation, balancing AI speed with human judgment to counter staffing shortages and alert fatigue.
