Vega Introduces Detection Skills, The New Open Standard for AI Reasoning in Agentic Cyber Defense

Vega has launched Detection Skills, an open standard built on Anthropic's Agent Skills framework that attaches triage, investigation, and optimization logic directly to security detections, aiming to replace static SIEM rules with AI reasoning. The standard ships with an Agentic Detection Library of 50+ skills, a sandbox for building and testing detections, and GitHub support for community contributions. Vega positions its own Cyber Defense Platform, built on a Security Analytics Mesh, as the reference implementation, running against existing SIEMs and data lakes without migration. Customers from Peloton, Exemplar Luxury Group, and Cyera provided endorsement quotes. The announcement coincides with Black Hat USA 2026.
