04 Program pillar

AI-SOC

Every alert read. The two that matter, surfaced.

The problem

The signals exist. Reading them is the bottleneck.

A mid-size, multi-site environment generates more telemetry than any small team can review — an industry average near 4,484 alerts a day, roughly two-thirds never investigated. The misses hide in the noise, not in the gaps. And hiring a 24/7 SOC means 3–5 analysts at $150K+ each — a cost most teams this size can't justify.

So the AI-SOC isn't a better detector. It's a reducer: it reads every alert your stack already fires, resolves the routine silently, and surfaces only what needs judgment.

What it does

Three gates around the model. Every alert, every time.

  1. 01

    Local PII scrub (inbound gate)

    Emails, IPs, cardholder data redacted locally before anything reaches an LLM — so a cloud model is compliant with GLBA / PCI / HIPAA by design.

  2. 02

    Injection guardrails (execution gate)

    Logs are attacker-controllable text. Strict delimiters treat log content as data, never instructions — a malicious entry can't hijack triage.

  3. 03

    Context, then schema-locked output

    RAG over historical outcomes and asset value, then a strict schema so nothing hallucinated flows into automated response.

  4. 04

    Three verdicts, human-gated

    True positive → escalate with full context. False positive → silent. Uncertain → flag for review. The human authorizes consequential action.

It reads your existing SIEM/EDR via a read-only bridge and writes verdicts back into the dashboards your team already uses. No new SIEM, no new data lake.

Coverage areas

Identity is a first-class signal.

Identity & access (ITDR — detection side)

Anomalous logins, impossible-travel, MFA fatigue, token theft, and lateral movement — identity is where most 2026 breaches begin, so it's a signal the AI-SOC reads in real time, not a quarterly review. The posture side (access reviews, stale accounts, privilege creep) rolls up under Compliance.

The economics

What the alternatives cost.

ApproachAnnual costCoverage
Build your own SOC$450K–$750K3–5 analysts, 6–12mo to value
Commercial AI-SOC~$30K–60KTier-1 replacement, <10 min/alert
AI-SOC armscoped in programreduction + human gate + your stack

The market sets the value: an autonomous AI-SOC analyst prices at a fraction of the human team it offsets. Priced inside the program, because the human gate and the brain are shared infrastructure.

Honest limits

What it is and isn't.

Honest limit

Augments Tier-1, doesn't replace the human

The gate is permanent; so is the accountability.

Honest limit

Garbage in, garbage out

Triage quality depends on your detection coverage — weak rules mean weak signal. We assess this first.

Honest limit

PII scrub minimizes, doesn't zero

For the most sensitive segments, local models keep everything on-prem at some capability cost.

Honest limit

Volume = token cost

Every alert read costs tokens, on your keys. The edge/internal split and silent-FP path are the controls.
