Our CEO Brian Carbaugh met with Aspiron’s Oliver Legg to discuss his career from CIA Chief of Staff to Bionic AI SOC startup founder. They talked about how a career in intelligence shaped Brian’s approach to leadership, risk, and company-building, the principles and special sauce that make Andesite unique in the category.
The conversation delves on how Andesite is taking a contrarian stance on AI in the SOC by putting analysts, not automation, at the center, and how the “replace the analyst” narrative gets it wrong.
They talk about how crowded the AI SOC field has become and look at differentiators beyond the hype. Brian explains why he chose a company-builder and foundry model over traditional venture funding and why Andesite has invested on security and compliance from day one.
