Alhamdulillah — it is a privilege to have presented our research at the 22nd IEEE International Wireless Communications & Mobile Computing Conference (IWCMC 2026), one of the most respected IEEE flagship conferences in wireless communications, mobile computing, and networked intelligence.
The conference took place in Shanghai, China from 1–6 June 2026, bringing together leading researchers, engineers, and academics from across the globe working on the frontiers of wireless systems, AI-enabled networking, and cyber-physical security.
Research Significance
The paper introduces Agentic SOC — a novel architecture that reimagines Security Operations Centers through hierarchical swarm intelligence and Large Language Models. Traditional SOC frameworks rely heavily on manual triaging and rule-based detection. Agentic SOC addresses this by deploying coordinated AI agents across threat detection, investigation, and response layers — specifically designed for the unique constraints of Operational Technology (OT) environments such as industrial control systems, SCADA networks, and critical infrastructure.
The three-tier hierarchy enables specialized agents to coordinate autonomously — from low-level sensor monitoring to high-level incident orchestration — significantly reducing mean time to detect and respond (MTTD/MTTR) in OT environments that traditionally lack the cybersecurity maturity of IT networks.
About IEEE IWCMC 2026
Presenting at IWCMC 2026 was a valuable opportunity to share this work with the international research community and receive feedback from peers working on next-generation wireless security and intelligent network systems. The Agentic SOC architecture addresses a critical gap in OT cyber defence, and we look forward to continuing this research with the community.
