The problem it solves

Your security team gets buried under a flood of low-level alerts from your logging and monitoring tools. Sorting through all of it by hand to find the real threats eats up time that should go toward actually investigating problems.

Who it fits

Security teams and IT departments that are overwhelmed by alert volume from their monitoring tools.

How it works

  1. Pulls recent security alerts on a schedule
  2. Filters out anything below your minimum severity level
  3. AI reviews the remaining alerts and assigns a priority with a summary
  4. Routes critical alerts to your incident response channel
  5. Sends high and informational alerts to the matching Slack channel
What you get

Critical alerts that never get buried

Security alerts arrive in the right Slack channel already prioritized, so your team's attention goes straight to what matters most.

What you get

Prioritized security alerts delivered to the right Slack channel automatically.

What you need

A security alert source such as a SIEM or EDR tool, an AI API key, and a Slack account.

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.
