Ruxie learned to think: Why our automation engine needed an AI brain

## Executive summary This announcement describes Expel's integration of an AI "power-up" layer into its existing automation engine Ruxie—branded Expel AI—to augment SOC operations by anticipating threats, contextualizing impact, prioritizing alerts, and adapting to unique customer environments, with the aim of improving triage, insight, and noise reduction rather than reporting a security incident.
