SOC Automation: 12 Tools compared

Andesite AI, based in McLean, Virginia, sells what it calls the Human-AI SOC, connecting SIEM, SOAR, identity and other sources so configurable agents can automate investigation, high-volume alert handling and enrichment. Vendor pages describe threat hunting to determine scope, assessing scope and blast radius, and launching remediation directly from investigation findings, with an Evidentiary AI audit trail behind each conclusion. Founded in 2023, it has raised $38.25m from General Catalyst and Red Cell Partners, and announced FedRAMP High Authorized status on 31 March 2026. Deployment is SaaS, air-gapped self-managed, or hybrid.

Conifers.ai, headquartered in Dallas with a Tel Aviv office, launched publicly in January 2025 with $25m led by SYN Ventures. Its CognitiveSOC platform runs coordinated agents across threat intelligence, threat hunting, detection engineering, investigation and response on top of existing SIEM, SOAR and XDR tooling through more than 90 integrations. Investigations produce a verdict, narrative, entity map, blast radius and chain of events, and remediation plans can be reviewed before they run. The vendor's trust centre states SOC 2 Type II and ISO/IEC 27001, with deployment as managed SaaS or inside the customer's own Azure tenant.

Exaforce is a San Jose company founded in 2023 offering an agentic SOC platform built on a real-time knowledge graph. Four agents the vendor calls Exabots cover detection, triage, investigation and response across more than 100 integrations spanning AWS, Azure, GCP, Okta, GitHub, CrowdStrike and Splunk. Exabot Investigate supports cross-environment pivoting and natural-language hunting, and Exabot Respond executes containment such as isolating instances, disabling users and revoking sessions, with human approval gates where configured. It is sold either customer-operated or as an Exaforce-run managed detection and response service. The company raised $75m in April 2025 and $125m in May 2026.

Legion Security helps enterprise security teams scale detection, investigation and response using agentic AI. The platform learns from the real workflows security teams already run, across the SOC and beyond, and turns that institutional knowledge into agentic playbooks the team can trust and audit. This lets organisations adopt frontier AI models gradually while preserving operational trust, cutting manual effort and building toward autonomous security capabilities. Rather than depending on API integrations, Legion combines vision models with other methods to observe how practitioners actually work, so teams can codify those processes as they are or optimise them into transparent, inspectable agentic workflows, extending the same approach beyond the SOC to security operations across the enterprise. Legion Security has offices in New York and Tel Aviv and is backed by Coatue, Accel and Picture, with investors from Island, CrowdStrike, Wiz and Google DeepMind. The company was founded in 2024 by former Microsoft Sentinel team members and emerged from stealth in July 2025.

Qevlar AI is an autonomous SOC investigation platform founded in Paris, France in 2023. It connects to an existing detection stack via API, investigates alerts from connected tools, correlates related activity into unified incident narratives with blast-radius mapping, and recommends containment actions while keeping analysts in oversight. The company describes a graph-based orchestration approach that uses LLMs for enrichment and summarization rather than core investigative reasoning. It sells to both enterprise SOC teams and MSSPs, with results surfaced in native consoles or Qevlar's own interface.

Simbian builds AI agents for security operations. Its AI SOC Agent investigates alerts around the clock, collects evidence on every observable linked to an alert, classifies true and false positives with severity and confidence ratings, and proposes response actions without pre-built playbooks. Companion agents cover threat hunting, penetration testing, network security operations, and GRC questionnaires. The platform deploys as SaaS or on premises and integrates with more than 100 security and enterprise tools.
