Exaforce Achieves AWS Security Competency and AWS AI Competency, Validating Its Agentic SOC Across the Disciplines That Define It

SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Exaforce, the pioneer in agentic security operations, today announced it has achieved both the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Security Competency and the AWS AI Competency. The recognition spans four validated categories: Identity and Access Management and Threat Detection and Response under the AWS Security Competency, and Generative AI Applications and Agentic AI Applications under the AWS AI Competency.

Exaforce earning both designations, across four categories that map directly to its platform, is independent validation of the company’s core thesis that the modern SOC has to be agentic, and agentic security has to cover identity end to end. That is what Exaforce was built to do, with customers seeing measurable improvements such as 90% reduction in false positives and <30 minutes average time from alert to response.

“These two competencies are part of the same story,” said Ariful Huq, Co-Founder and Head of Product of Exaforce. “An Agentic SOC only works when the AI agents are good enough to do real security work and when the security coverage is deep enough to matter. AWS validating us across both is what we have been telling customers since day one. The knowledge graph ingests from tools like Amazon GuardDuty, AWS CloudTrail, and across the AWS telemetry stack, chaining identity to activity to alert. The Exabots detect, triage, investigate, and respond at machine speed across the surfaces attackers actually target.”

Why both competencies matter together

The AWS Security Competency designation in Threat Detection and Response validates Exaforce as a SIEM replacement and full SOC platform, built on a real-time knowledge graph that ingests, normalizes, and chains telemetry at ingest from tools like Amazon GuardDuty, AWS CloudTrail, and across the AWS ecosystem without requiring a separate data pipeline. The Identity and Access Management category validates Exaforce’s identity security coverage, in which identities, permissions, and entitlements are first-class objects within the same graph rather than a separate product bolted on.

The AWS AI Competency recognition validates the other half. Exaforce’s specialized AI agents, called Exabots, are purpose-built for the SOC lifecycle across detection, triage, investigation, and response. Earning recognition in Agentic AI Applications confirms that these agents go beyond LLM wrappers to production-grade autonomous systems. The Generative AI Applications category covers the Multi-Model AI reasoning that drives the platform and agents.

AWS partners pursuing the AI Competency are validated against rigorous technical and operational requirements, including responsible AI development, governance, and monitoring. AWS Security Competency partners are evaluated annually by AWS security experts on their use of tools and operational processes against specific cloud security challenges. Customers working with AI Competency Partners are implementing production solutions 25 percent faster, according to AWS.

About the AWS Competency Program

AWS established the AWS Competency Program to help customers identify AWS Partners with deep industry experience and expertise. The AWS Security Competency identifies AWS Partner solutions that have proven technical proficiency and customer success across foundational cybersecurity categories. The AWS AI Competency, expanded in November 2025 to include three new Agentic AI categories, recognizes partners with proven expertise in deploying production-grade autonomous AI systems built on AWS services, including Amazon Bedrock and Amazon SageMaker AI.
