Legion Security
Agentic security operations platform that learns analyst workflows and turns them into agentic playbooks
Legion Security helps enterprise security teams scale detection, investigation and response using agentic AI. The platform captures and learns from the real workflows analysts already use, and turns those actions into agentic playbooks the team can trust. The vendor positions this as a way to adopt frontier AI models gradually while keeping operational trust, reducing manual effort and preparing for autonomous security capabilities. It deploys through the analyst's browser rather than through API integrations, and uses vision models combined with other methods to observe how analysts investigate alerts, so the enterprise can either codify those processes or optimise them into visual agentic workflows that the team can inspect. Legion Security has offices in New York and Tel Aviv and is backed by Coatue, Accel and Picture, with investors from Island, CrowdStrike, Wiz and Google DeepMind. The company was founded in 2024 by former Microsoft Sentinel team members and emerged from stealth in July 2025.
