Vega, a pioneer in Agentic Cyber Defense, launched Detection Skills, an open standard for AI-driven security operations. The standard captures expert judgment in a self-improving agentic loop across detection, triage, and investigation, and is available as an open standard or natively within the Vega platform. Built on Anthropic's Agent Skills framework, it aims to replace static detection rules with scalable AI reasoning. Vega proved the standard in production on its Cyber Defense Platform, and it debuts at Black Hat USA 2026. Early adopters include Peloton, Exemplar Luxury Group, and Cyera, whose executives praised the standard for improving alert triage and scaling expertise. Vega, founded in 2024 and backed by Accel-KKR, Cyberstarts, Redpoint Ventures, and CRV with $185 million raised, protects Fortune 200 enterprises, global banks, and healthcare providers.
