With Stellar Cyber 6.1, organizations gain new levels of visibility, speed, and control.
Powered by Multi-Layer AI™, the platform is open and unifying—eliminating silos across logs, networks, identities, and endpoints. By combining agentic AI–driven investigations, customizable anomaly detection, and deeper third-party integrations, this release equips SecOps teams and MSSPs to do better work faster while keeping humans firmly in control.
Key Innovations in Stellar Cyber 6.1
- Agentic AI for Faster Investigations
As part of the Early Access Program, Stellar Cyber released automatic phishing triage and AI-driven case summaries. Reported emails are analyzed in minutes without any human intervention, while agentic AI turns individual alerts into case-level stories with timelines, entity relationships, and response recommendations. These powerful agentic AI features help analysts save hours and act with confidence. - Expanded Identity Threat Detection
Identity threats remain one of the highest threats for organizations. Stellar Cyber keeps adding more identity threat detection in each release. Active Directory attacks and geo-anomaly alerts bring sharper focus to credential misuse and privilege escalation. These identity-centric detections shine light on one of the most exploited areas of enterprise environments. - Advanced Network-Based Detection
Stellar Cyber offers one of the leading NDR solutions in the industry, recognized by Gartner in its first NDR MQ report. High-fidelity detection of Command and Control (C2) beaconing and visibility into rare or new top-level domains (TLDs) offer early warning against stealthy attackers. These additional capabilities extend Stellar Cyber’s strength as the illumination company—revealing threats that evade conventional tools. - CrowdStrike Premium Threat Intelligence
Stellar Cyber has a strong built-in TIP platform. It is an open platform allowing customers to bring their own threat intelligence feeds, in addition to many feeds already included. By integrating real-time, high-fidelity IOCs from CrowdStrike, Stellar Cyber enables faster and more accurate detections. Customers gain access to threat intelligence previously out of reach for lean teams. Read the blog here. - Customizable Machine Learning Detections
Stellar Cyber has the most powerful AI-based detection engine and continues to advance it. Allowing security teams to tune these detections for their environments reduces false positives and aligns detection with the unique behavioral patterns of each organization. Security analysts can now tailor anomaly models such as Impossible Travel and User Login Location Anomalies via a new, intuitive UI. - ServiceNow Workflow Enhancements
Stellar Cyber offers great integration with various ticketing systems used by its customers. ServiceNow workflow enhancement allows MSSPs and enterprises to gain greater control with multi-tenant filtering and syncing of alerts and cases, ensuring only relevant data flows into ticketing systems. A new on-demand sync button adds responsiveness, enabling immediate updates when needed. - Tenant-Level License Visibility
Stellar Cyber understands its MSSP partners and their needs very well. Multi-tenant environments can now track license allocations and consumption at the tenant level, giving MSSPs clarity in service delivery and billing.
Executive Perspective
Subo Guha, SVP of Product Management at Stellar Cyber, said:
“With 6.1, we’re not just adding features—we’re giving our customers and partners new illumination across their environments. From new Agentic AI case summaries to customizable ML detections to expanded identity and network threat visibility, this release strengthens the foundation for the human-augmented autonomous SOC. Our vision has always been open, unifying SecOps powered by Multi-Layer AI, and 6.1 proves we’re delivering on that promise.”
Steve Kane, Managing Director – Cyber Transformation, RSM US LLP said
“Stellar Cyber 6.1 gives us sharper detections, richer case context, and smoother integration into our workflows. It’s not just an upgrade—it’s a force multiplier for our team and a differentiator for our services. It seamlessly integrates into our tech stack as the tip of the spear, helping inform and influence our detection and response capabilities, easing the burden on our analysts.”
A Milestone Toward Human-Augmented Autonomy
Stellar Cyber 6.1 is not only about new capabilities—it’s about advancing the industry toward a more autonomous future without removing the human element. By embedding agentic AI directly into workflows, automating investigation, and reducing noise, Stellar Cyber allows analysts to spend less time chasing false positives and more time sharpening defenses.
For MSSPs, 6.1 brings scalability through multi-tenant ServiceNow integration, flexible reporting, and tenant-level license visibility. These features enable providers to deliver differentiated, consistent services to every customer while improving operational efficiency and margins.
For lean enterprise teams, the platform democratizes advanced threat detection and investigation. Analysts gain the same contextual clarity and speed previously reserved for larger SOCs, with AI amplifying human judgment instead of replacing it.
As cyber threats evolve, Stellar Cyber remains committed to its role as the illumination company—shedding light on blind spots, unifying operations across fragmented environments, and powering SecOps with Multi-Layer AI. Release 6.1 is a tangible milestone on the path to the human-augmented autonomous SOC, where AI scales capabilities, humans apply judgment, and together they deliver stronger security outcomes.
