Legion Security
Agentic security operations platform that learns analyst workflows and turns them into agentic playbooks
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.
Capabilities
Andesite AI
Tier 2 SOC AutomationRegulated and public-sector SOCs needing investigation, hunting and response automation with FedRAMP High and air-gapped options.
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.
AtlasCyber
Threat Detection and ResponseCritical infrastructure and OT-adjacent operators, especially utilities and municipal government, that need detection and investigation to run on-premises or fully air-gapped.
AtlasCyber is the threat detection and investigation platform of CrunchAtlas Inc., a Portsmouth, New Hampshire company. It applies locally deployed AI agents to an organisation's own network, endpoint and security telemetry to detect, triage and investigate activity, producing evidence-backed cases with a verdict and remediation recommendations rather than raw alerts. An assistant component, ClemAI, supports investigation, threat hunting, forensics, attribution and reporting, and a companion validation capability called PurpleHaze tests whether a flagged exposure is actually reachable and whether a fix closed it. The vendor targets water and wastewater utilities, power and energy, municipal government, manufacturing, education and MSSPs, and states cloud, on-premises and air-gapped deployment with passive ingestion of PCAP, PCAPNG and CSV. CrunchAtlas appears on distributor Carahsoft's site as a public-sector technology partner.
Conifers.ai
Tier 2 SOC AutomationEnterprises and MSSPs wanting agentic multi-tier investigation with blast-radius scoping and reviewable remediation over an existing stack.
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
Tier 2 SOC AutomationCloud and SaaS-heavy enterprises that want agent-driven investigation and hunting with automated containment behind approval gates.
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.
