Tracecat

Tracecat is an open-source, AI-native Security Orchestration, Automation, and Response (SOAR) platform designed to help security teams build agents and automate incident workflows. By utilizing natural language, security operators can describe tasks such as "verify and triage this phishing email," and the system uses AI to generate, execute, and refine security playbooks. It serves as a modern alternative to legacy SOAR products. The product is useful for security analysts, IT managers, and security operations center (SOC) teams looking to reduce alert fatigue. By using Tracecat, teams can integrate with third-party security platforms like CrowdStrike, Okta, and Wiz, allowing agents to collect indicators of compromise (IoCs) and quarantine threats. It automates repetitive security checks and triages tickets. A main difference is Tracecat's focus on agentic security workflows rather than visual logic loops. The platform features an integrated Model Context Protocol (MCP) server, allowing agents to execute security actions, lookup database records, and query allowlists. The core platform is open-source and free to self-host, while enterprise editions include compliance, SCIM, and approval gates. For FutureStack, Tracecat belongs in AI Agents because its core function is running automated, intelligent agents to manage security operations. It is best for security teams and operations managers looking for open-source, AI-native automation tools. It is not for organizations seeking general IT helpdesk systems or simple network firewalls.
