AI for cybersecurity built for analysts, not movie plots

Alert volume, talent gaps, and audit fatigue are real. Generative AI helps when it cites your playbooks, respects least privilege, and never silently escalates privileges. We focus on SOC copilots, phishing and BEC triage assist, vulnerability queue narration, and GRC evidence retrieval—always with logging you can show an auditor.

  • Analysts get enriched context: similar past incidents, relevant policy clauses, and suggested queries—humans decide response
  • GRC teams draft control narratives and map evidence faster from governed document stores
  • CTI consumers summarize feeds into briefings with clear sourcing, not anonymous “APT” hand-waving

We do not promise to “replace your SOC” or eliminate breaches—only disciplined assistive leverage.

Where security AI backfires

Pitfalls

Over-trusting summarization on complex intrusions. Feeding raw customer PII into unapproved SaaS. “Autonomous remediation” without rollback tested.

Our mitigations

Grounding, evaluation on historical tickets, dry runs for automation, and integration with your SIEM and ITSM—not parallel stacks.

High-value starting points

1) Tier-1 alert enrichment

Readable stories from noisy telemetry plus “questions to ask next”—reducing swivel-chair time.

2) Phishing and BEC analysis assist

Headers, indicators, and template responses grounded in your comms policy—humans close the case.

3) Vuln and patch queue narration

Business context and dependency hints from CMDB-linked docs—prioritization stays with risk owners.

4) GRC and audit evidence retrieval

Map controls to artifacts and draft narratives SMEs review before submission.

5) Secure engineering guidance

Developer-facing secure coding hints from internal standards—not generic blog advice without your exceptions list.

Fit for regulated environments

Data maps, model routing documentation, DLP alignment, and incident response for model failures. We help your security committee review before widening access.

SOC and GRC questions

Autonomous blocking?

Not default; approvals and narrow automation only with testing.

Sensitive data?

Classify, minimize, and align retention to IR policy.

First pilot?

Alert narratives plus playbook retrieval with citations.

Replace EDR?

No—this augments human workflows around existing tools.
