AI SOC Agents
Eleven platforms that put AI agents to work doing what a SOC analyst does: reading an alert, gathering the evidence around it, deciding whether it is real, and either closing it or escalating with the reasoning attached.
The category answers to several names, agentic SOC, AI SOC platforms, autonomous SOC, and the label matters far less than four things that genuinely separate these products: how much the agent may do without a human, how it connects to the rest of your stack, whether it shows its working, and where it is allowed to run. This page is the full map of the category. For the narrower question of how deep a platform investigates, our tier 1 and tier 2 SOC automation guides compare many of the same vendors on that alone. Listed alphabetically: we aggregate public information and do not score or rank vendors, and placement is not for sale.
What this shortlist looks at
What the agent actually does
Triage alone, or investigation, threat hunting, blast-radius scoping and response as well. Several of these stop at tier 1 by design.
Autonomy and oversight
Propose-only, approve-then-act, or fully autonomous, and which actions it can genuinely take: isolate a host, disable an account, revoke a session, block an indicator.
Integration model
An API connector built and maintained per tool, or an agent that works through the analyst's browser against whatever is already on screen. This drives most of the deployment effort.
Reasoning transparency
Whether each conclusion shows the queries run and the evidence behind it, and whether that trail is auditable afterwards. This is what determines whether analysts trust the output.
Deployment and data residency
SaaS, self-hosted or air-gapped, where the data sits, and whether FedRAMP or EU residency is available.
Pricing model
Per investigation, per seat, per alert or outcome-based, and whether any figure is published at all. Only one of the eleven publishes a number.
Agent-first or agentic layer
Architected around models and agents from founding, or an agentic capability added to an older automation platform. Both can work, but they behave differently under load.

Tools listed here
Andesite AI
Air-gapped and FedRAMP High deploymentCovers alert investigation, threat hunting, scoping and remediation as one workflow rather than triage alone, and is the only platform here offering both FedRAMP High and an air-gapped deployment. Its FAQ describes pricing as outcome-based rather than tied to AI usage, which matters when alert volume is unpredictable. Founded 2023.
Human-AI SOC platform for alert investigation, threat hunting, scoping and remediation
Conifers.ai
Multi-tier investigation with reviewable remediationIts CognitiveSOC platform runs investigation across tiers rather than stopping at tier 1, with blast-radius scoping and remediation a human reviews before it executes. Aimed at enterprises and MSSPs layering agents over an existing stack, with self-hosted deployment available. Founded 2024, the newest platform here.
CognitiveSOC agentic platform for multi-tier investigation, hunting and reviewable remediation
Dropzone AI
The only platform here that publishes its pricingAn AI analyst that autonomously investigates tier 1 alerts across an existing tool stack. Alone among the eleven in publishing pricing: from $36,000 a year for 4,000 investigations, with cost tied to investigation volume. That makes it the only one you can budget for without a sales call. Founded 2023.
AI SOC analyst that autonomously investigates tier-1 security alerts
Exaforce
Separate agents per stage, containment behind approvalSplits the work across distinct agents for detection, triage, investigation and response rather than running one general agent, and gates automated containment behind an approval step. Weighted towards cloud and SaaS-heavy environments. Founded 2023.
Agentic SOC platform with separate agents for detection, triage, investigation and response
Intezer
Forensic depth, and the longest track record hereAutonomous alert investigation with forensic analysis underneath, drawing on the company's malware analysis heritage. Founded 2015, which makes it nine years older than the newest platform on this page and the only one that predates the current agentic wave. Used by enterprise SOC teams and MSSPs on top of existing detection.
AI SOC platform that autonomously investigates and triages alerts with forensic analysis
Legion Security
Learns existing analyst workflows, no API build per toolWorks browser-native, watching how analysts already work and turning those workflows into agentic playbooks. That avoids building and maintaining an API integration for every tool in the stack, which is a materially different integration model from the rest of this list. Founded 2024.
Agentic security operations platform that learns analyst workflows and turns them into agentic playbooks
Prophet Security
Per-alert investigation plans, with the reasoning shownBuilds an investigation plan per alert rather than running a fixed playbook, and exposes its reasoning so an analyst can audit how a conclusion was reached. Layers onto an existing SIEM, EDR and identity stack. Founded 2023.
Agentic AI platform for autonomous security alert triage and investigation
Qevlar AI
EU-based, for teams with data residency constraintsAutonomous alert investigation for SOC teams and MSSPs, and the one European option here, which matters for organisations that cannot send security telemetry to a US provider. Layers over an existing detection stack. Founded 2023.
Autonomous alert investigation platform for SOC teams and MSSPs
Radiant Security
Broad alert-source coverage plus optional log managementTriage, investigation and response across a wide range of alert sources, with optional log management if you want the platform to hold data rather than only read from your SIEM. Founded 2021.
AI SOC platform that triages, investigates, and responds to security alerts
Simbian
Agents that go beyond triage, with an on-premises optionAgents that triage, investigate and respond across a multi-vendor stack, with self-hosted deployment available, which is unusual in this group. Founded 2023.
AI agents that triage, investigate, and respond to security alerts
Torq
A SOAR platform first, with the agentic SOC layered onThe odd one out, and worth understanding before you shortlist it. Torq is a hyperautomation platform in the SOAR lineage, with HyperSOC and the Socrates AI analyst added on top, rather than an agent-first product architected around models from the start. That suits a team wanting workflow automation and an agentic layer in one platform, and suits an agent-only buyer less well. Founded 2020.
