Why Andesite
COST SAVINGS + EFFICIENCY GAINS + RISK REDUCTION
Why Andesite, the Human-AI SOC, Is an AI SOC Done Right?
An AI SOC Done Right delivers the perfect math of cost savings + efficiency gains + risk reduction. Andesite can make a meaningful difference in optimizing SecOps investments while reducing exposure, and delivering security at scale and speed.
Andesite’s Economic Impact
Andesite saves CISOs time and money. Working with Andesite, customers see both economic and efficiency gains. On average, our enterprise customers handle over 700% more investigations, save $1,444,688 in analyst time value per year, and recover 394 analyst hours per week.
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, using our product, took five minutes. Another customer saw their SIEM query time reduced from 5-10 minutes to seconds, a nearly 99% reduction in query time.
Another customer reports saving approximately 30 analyst hours per week. At a conservative estimate of $65/hour for a loaded SOC analyst, that’s more than $101,000 in recovered analyst time annually. And that is before factoring in the value of what that analyst does with the time back.
Yet 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.
We Deliver More Security with Better ROI
With Andesite, 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, constantly optimizing your investment.
The 451 Research Voice of the Enterprise: Information Security survey shows that 45% of the alerts in enterprise SOCs go uninvestigated. Andesite accelerates triage, enabling SOC teams to cover 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 junior analysts to do work that would otherwise require senior-level professionals.
We can do this because Andesite empowers junior analysts to conduct full-cycle investigations in plain English – or whatever their language. We use Natural Language Queries, so no advanced coding knowledge is needed. That reduces onboarding time and increases productivity from the outset. That means that senior analysts can spend more time focused on proactive security. With Andesite, SOC teams can improve their posture against adversarial AI, while improving readiness for high-speed attacks at scale.
HUMAN-AI SOC
Andesite Puts 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 human expertise to the next level. Plus, Andesite enables security teams to avoid black boxes. Analysts can track the assumptions the AI is making in real time so they can effectively guide it throughout the process.
BUILT FOR REGULATED INDUSTRIES AND NATIONAL SECURITY
We’re Compliance High
With Andesite, you get top cyber defense AI innovation in a safe and secure environment. We are working with large national security, infrastructure, and financial services institutions because we are built for them.
The Andesite Human-AI SOC meets the top security, compliance, and AI safety standards of the public and private sectors, from FedRAMP Certified Class D (High) to SOC 2 Type II. Our certifications include NIST 800-53 (High), NIST CSF, ISO 27001, ISO 27701, ISO 42001, PCI DSS, HIPAA, HITRUST and more – you can check them all at our trust center, where you can track over 500 continuous monitoring controls.
Our SaaS deployments are single tenant, our self-managed deployments are 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 your data to train our AI. We protect your applications and data with end-to-end encryption.
The Human-AI SOC Is Built for Complexity
We are uniquely built for high-complexity, high-risk security operations. Our product connects, correlates, contextualizes, and analyzes together unstructured, structured, and semi-structured data from all kinds of sources. The centerpiece of our technology, the Decision Fabric, is the layer where disparate data sources are connected, organizational context is established, and actionable insights are made. It is engineered to be flexible and domain-agnostic, and adapts to your use cases, tools, and workflows.
AN AI SOC DONE RIGHT ADAPTS TO YOUR
Deploys to Your Ecosystem As It Is
We are ready to accelerate and optimize your SecOps by adapting to your ecosystem, rather than requiring changes on your side. We aren’t plug-and-play or one-size-fits-all. Our product, architecture, and technology can be deployed to your ecosystem, tools, use cases, and workflows as they are. Right from the proof of value, we offer white-glove support to ensure that everything is configured 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 you might have in your environment. We offer multiple deployment options, from single-tenant SaaS for enterprise to air-gapped, ideal for national security and critical infrastructure customers. And no ETL means that your data stays where it is, avoiding delays as well as expensive and risky migrations and extractions.
Configurable Agents
The Human-AI SOC allows you to configure your own agents to focus on specific use cases, like phishing or alert triage. Or to support defined workflows or assignments, like looking for anomalies in the network. Working under human oversight, the agents adapt to your ecosystem, enabling your SOC team to focus on the critical decisions, work smarter, and build a sustainable advantage.
Persistent Memory
Andesite not only adapts to your ecosystem, it studies it to make itself better to your SOC every day. Our product learns from context and from experience. It can self-correct and self-heal, so previous events inform current developments. This means that the Andesite Human-AI SOC can absorb and utilize your threat history and tribal knowledge, apply it to new threats, and share it with your teams based on RBAC rules.
HOW DOES ANDESITE COMPARE TO...
An Automated SOAR such as Torq?
Both Torq and Andesite focus on triage, enrichment, investigation, and response. While Torq is fully automated with some room for humans in the loop, Andesite puts humans at the helm. That means that with Andesite, human analysts oversee all AI-driven workflows, configure agents and playbooks, control investigations, response, and evidence validation, and make the critical decisions they are accountable for.
While Torq emphasizes hyperautomation, Andesite enables analysts to track the assumptions the AI is making in real time, so they can effectively guide it throughout the process and make corrections before the workflow even starts. Additionally, Andesite, which works with enterprises in regulated industries and defense, is FedRAMP Certified Class D (High), which allows it to work at the highest levels of national security and intelligence.
An Autonomous Agentic AI SOC like Dropzone or Prophet AI?
While Dropzone, Prophet AI and Andesite all operate in the triage, enrichment, investigation, and response field, both Prophet AI and Dropzone are focused on automated agentic operations for midmarket. Andesite, instead, operates with enterprises in regulated industries and national security, and combines automations with strong human oversight.
With Andesite, humans at the helm can determine the degree to which they want to automate anything – they always have the option to implement fully autonomous workflows or to establish a fully collaborative Human-AI dynamic. That is not an option with automated agentic SOC solutions such as those offered by Prophet AI and Dropzone. Andesite enables analysts to track the assumptions and planning the AI is making in real time, so the humans at the helm can guide it throughout the process and make corrections before the work even starts.
Additionally, Andesite, which is FedRAMP Certified Class D (High) and works with enterprises in regulated industries and national security, offers advanced features such as RBAC, persistent memory, agent self-awareness, and product self-healing capabilities, which are not present in plug-and-play agentic SOC solutions.
