As security teams contemplate the move to the AI SOC, they are faced with what seems like an overwhelming sea of sameness when evaluating vendors. Understanding the key considerations for successfully integrating AI will critically affect their risk exposure and their return on security spend.
CISOs need to navigate the balance between cost savings and risk reduction to succeed, but these two concepts are currently locked in a toxic, impossible trade-off. To reduce risk, you have to ingest more data and hire more people, which is financially impossible.
This broken math forces enterprises to accept massive risk, such as leaving up to 45% of alerts uninvestigated. Andesite addresses this risk by fixing the broken economics of security data. We know what security teams are facing and what they need — the AI SOC done right.
What Is an AI SOC Done Right?
An AI SOC Done Right delivers the perfect math of cost savings + efficiency gains + risk reduction. It’s an AI SOC you can trust and test. That demands the ability to evaluate what any vendor can do for you before fully bringing it into your environment. You need to be able to estimate the potential ROI in advance of getting to a proof of value. When it comes to trust, we believe there are fundamental aspects of our AI SOC that make a meaningful difference in optimizing your SecOps investment, reducing your exposure, and delivering security at scale and speed. And it all can happen at the same time.
Why is Andesite the AI SOC Done Right?
The Andesite Human-AI SOC brings together key advantages that add up to the AI SOC Done Right. Let’s expand on that:
Economic Impact
With Andesite, customers see both economic and efficiency gains. One customer with a large global SOC reported that with Andesite, they stand to reduce intelligence-driven threat hunting workflows by as much as 3,000 personnel hours per week at the very high end, which equates to $195,000. More conservatively, even in an average week, this customer stands to save thousands or tens of thousands of dollars per week, and this is based on just one of the workflows supported by Andesite. Another customer reduced the cost of a high-priority, complex forensics investigation from $146,250 to $65 with Andesite. That means that the investigation costs less than 0.1% of what it costs the organization without Andesite.
More Security with Better ROI
With an AI SOC Done Right, you get more security with the same headcount because you can build your agents and playbooks to automate triage, enrichment, investigation, and response, enabling your team to work smarter. Our product learns from experience, self-corrects, and self-heals, optimizing your investment and ROI every day.
Before the AI SOC Done Right, at least 45% of the alerts in enterprise SOCs went uninvestigated. Now, Andesite accelerates triage, covering 100% of the alerts, reducing exposure and the attack surface. With Andesite, a junior analyst with minimal SOC experience became productive after a 15-minute crash course and was able to contribute effectively without significant supervision. Junior analysts using Andesite can conduct full-cycle investigations with limited senior support. This enables T1 analysts to do work that would otherwise require T2 or T3 level professionals.
We can do this because Andesite empowers junior analysts to conduct full-cycle investigations in plain English. No advanced coding knowledge is needed, which reduces onboarding time and increases productivity from the outset. Thanks to our product, senior analysts can spend more time focused on proactive security. Using the Andesite Human-AI SOC improves your posture against adversarial AI, upping your readiness for high-speed attacks at scale.
Time Savings
Andesite saves CISOs time and money. One of our customers saw a 95%+ reduction in report generation time. A structured, narrative report from raw data that took up to a full day to create manually in the past, took five minutes with Andesite. Another customer saw their SIEM query time reduced from 5-10 minutes to seconds, a nearly 99% reduction in query time.
Deploy to Your Ecosystem As It Is
Our flexible architecture works with your ecosystem, tools, and workflows as they are. Right from the proof of value, we offer white-glove support to ensure that everything is customized to your needs and priorities. When it comes to your LLM, Andesite’s core engine is agnostic, allowing us to work with almost any model a customer might have in their environment. We offer multiple deployment options, from enterprise SaaS to air-gapped, self-managed ideal for national security and critical infrastructure customers. And no ETL means that your data stays where it is, avoiding expensive, risky migrations, extractions, and delays.
Humans at the Helm
Andesite keeps critical decisions with humans, not agents. We don’t replace human talent and intelligence. Instead, we amplify it with machine speed and scale. We empower cybersecurity teams to make critical decisions, assess threats, reduce risk, and focus on prevention. With Andesite, the SOC team oversees AI-driven workflows, configures agents and playbooks, controls investigations, response, and evidence validation, and makes the critical decisions they are accountable for, while the AI takes care of the menial tasks. This takes your human expertise to the next level. Plus, Andesite enables security teams to avoid black boxes. Your team can track the assumptions the AI is making in real time so they can effectively guide it throughout the process.
Compliance High and Audit-Ready
The Andesite Human-AI SOC is compliance high and meets the top security, compliance, and AI safety standards of the public and private sectors, from FedRAMP High Authorized to SOC 2 Type II. Our SaaS deployments are single tenant, our self-managed deployments can be air-gapped, and our Evidentiary AI™ documents investigations and actions ensuring audit readiness. The product includes Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) in addition to access and identity security via IDP and CAC /PIV. We don’t use customer data to train our AI, and we protect your applications and data with end-to-end encryption.
Put the AI SOC Done Right to the Test
At the heart of what we do is the belief that the future of SecOps is a Human-AI collaboration that helps cybersecurity teams make the most of AI productivity gains while keeping their expertise front and center. This is the AI SOC done right. But don’t take our word for it. Come meet us at Black Hat and see it in action.
