Automatically triage and respond to cybersecurity alerts with AI

When a security alert comes in, AI checks the threat, blocks danger, and alerts your team in real time.

How the work actually flows

It branches. Exactly one path is taken; a person is alerted when a step fails.

The problem it solves

Security alerts pour in from your firewalls, antivirus tools, and monitoring systems faster than anyone can review them by hand. Real threats can get buried in noise, and by the time someone notices, damage may already be done. Your team burns hours investigating alerts that turn out to be nothing.

Who it fits

IT and security teams at mid-size businesses that need to respond to threats faster than manual review allows.

How it works

  1. A security alert arrives from a firewall, antivirus tool, or monitoring system
  2. The system checks the suspicious IP address or file against threat intelligence databases
  3. AI reviews the evidence and rates how serious the threat is
  4. Serious threats are automatically blocked or isolated
  5. Your security team gets a message and a ticket is logged with full details
What you get

Attacks caught and blocked before damage spreads

You get incoming security alerts automatically checked, rated for severity, and serious threats blocked while your team gets a full ticket with details.

What you get

An assessed, documented security incident with automatic containment and a ticket your team can track.

What you need

Accounts with your security monitoring tools, a threat intelligence service, an AI provider, Slack, and a ticketing system like Jira.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
