## ABSTRACT

Security data is spread across SIEMs, data lakes, cloud platforms, identity systems, and endpoint tools. The workflows that depend on that data are still heavily manual, but forcing everything into another platform takes time, adds cost, and still doesn’t solve how the work gets done.

A decoupled SIEM gives AI agents human-governed access to data and tools across existing environments, allowing them to execute recurring SOC workflows while analysts control the decisions that matter.

This paper defines the architectural foundation required for Agentic SecOps without a rip-and-replace project. Learn how to:

- Modernize your security architecture incrementally
- Give agents governed, auditable access to distributed data
- Choose the right decoupling model for your environment
- Evaluate cost, governance, and portability before your architecture becomes a constraint
