From Logs to Defense: Building AI-Enhanced XDR Pipelines for Application-Level Threats

Modern applications generate massive volumes of logs across microservices, APIs, identity systems, and cloud platforms but most organizations still struggle to convert this raw telemetry into meaningful security detections. Traditional rule-based alerting often misses subtle behavioral anomalies, while noisy signals overwhelm analysts and leave critical threats undetected.

This talk demonstrates how to build an AI Agent-enhanced XDR pipeline that transforms application logs into actionable defense signals. We will explore how machine learning, behavioral analytics, and LLM-based reasoning can uncover API abuse, authentication anomalies and other attacks that rarely surface in conventional AppSec testing.

Multi-Agent AI in Action: Detecting Anomalies in Datadog Logs with LangGraph

In modern cloud environments, log volumes are exploding, and with them, the challenge of spotting anomalies that matter. Traditional alerting often leads to fatigue, while real threats get buried. In this session, I’ll demonstrate how I built a multi-agent workflow using LangGraph to automatically detect, analyze, and respond to anomalies in Datadog logs.

The solution uses AI agents working together:

One agent extracts and parses log events.

Another applies anomaly detection (Isolation Forest) to identify outliers.

A third agent contextualizes the anomalies, grouping them by error patterns and impacted remote IDs.

A final agent pushes insights into downstream workflows (alerts via Webex, ticket creation in Jira).

By orchestrating these specialized agents, the system transforms Datadog from a passive log collector into an active anomaly detection and response engine.

Attendees will leave with practical insights into:

How to design and orchestrate multi-agent systems with LangGraph

Applying ML-based anomaly detection on real-world logs

Integrating detection with collaboration and ticketing workflows

This session is designed to be hands-on, showing how to combine AI, automation, and observability to move from reactive monitoring to proactive resilience.
