Dropzone AI

Great conversation between John Hammond and founder Edward Wu on the challenges security teams face when handling alerts and investigations. They discussed why traditional automation hasn’t solved it, how security teams need smarter tools that adapt, and why technology should work alongside analysts, not add to their workload. A key takeaway: AI SOC analysts should be coachable—learning from teams, understanding context, and making investigations smoother. Huge thanks to John for the great conversation!

Welcome to the Team, John Silva! 🎉 John is a Software Engineer bringing his experience and passion for cybersecurity to our amazing engineering team. When he’s not optimizing code, you’ll find him hitting the trails, mastering Spanish, lifting heavy weights, or gaming. Glad to have you on the team, John!

If AI is making security decisions, how do we know it’s getting them right? As SOC teams move from human-led investigations to AI-augmented workflows, one thing is clear—AI must show its work. It can’t just return a result and expect that we trust the output. AI needs to explain its reasoning, provide an audit trail of how it processed and validated findings, and be benchmarked against human analysts. Without clear performance comparisons, how do we measure AI’s effectiveness against a junior, mid-level, or a top-tier SOC analyst? Daniel Miessler ⚙️ explains that AI could be right 98 times and wrong twice, but in cybersecurity, those two mistakes could be catastrophic. Trust in AI requires transparency and measurable benchmarks. Without them, can AI truly be relied on to investigate threats? #AI #Cybersecurity #SOC #DropzoneAI

Welcome to the Team, Christopher Abella ! 🙌 Chris joins Dropzone AI as a Sales Engineer, bringing his expertise in making AI work for security teams—not the other way around. Outside of the cyber world, you’ll find him deep in fantasy literature, staying active, and fueling up on copious amounts of caffeine. We're glad to have you on board, Chris!

If AI can investigate security alerts, can it teach analysts too? Daniel Miessler ⚙️ shares why AI shouldn’t just automate—it should educate, guiding junior analysts through investigations in real time. Without this approach, we might unintentionally stall the growth of future cybersecurity talent. How can we use AI to empower security teams instead of replacing them? Share your perspective in the comments. 👇 #AI #Cybersecurity #SOCAnalyst #Automation

Microsoft Sentinel surfaces threats—but who investigates them? SOC teams are overwhelmed with alerts, spending too much time on false positives while real threats slip by. Manual triage isn’t scalable, and un-investigated alerts increase security risk. Dropzone AI automates Microsoft Sentinel investigations from start to finish, ensuring every alert gets: ✅ Autonomous, evidence-backed analysis ✅ Clear conclusions with investigation summaries ✅ Decision-ready reports—no manual triage needed This means faster detection, fewer missed threats, and more time for analysts to focus on critical threats.

🚨 MSSPs: How Are You Scaling Without Sacrificing Quality? Clients expect fast, accurate investigations, but rising alert volumes make that tough. Hiring more analysts? Too costly. Playbook automation? Not enough. AI SOC analysts take the heavy lifting off your team by investigating alerts, generating actionable reports, and reducing false positives so they can focus on the real threats. 🔹 Handle more alerts without adding headcount 🔹 Cut response times with AI-powered investigations 🔹 Deliver consistent, high-quality reports How is your team keeping up? 📖 Full breakdown in our latest blog: https://bit.ly/412G7gg

We're celebrating the 2 year anniversary of Dropzone AI! 🎉 When we founded Dropzone AI two years ago, we had a vision of creating an AI SOC analyst that would work alongside security teams 24/7. That vision become a reality – and the journey has exceeded our expectations. Our growth in 2023-2024 tells an incredible story: ➡️ 10x ARR growth in Q4 ➡️ $20M in total funding secured through Series A ➡️ Welcomed a Fortune 500 customer ➡️ Doubled our world-class team But what truly humbles us is the industry recognitions we earned: 🔹 Named Gartner Cool Vendor for the Modern SOC 🔹 Featured in 8 Gartner reports 🔹 RSA Innovation Sandbox Finalist 🔹 2024 Intelligent Applications 40 Winner We've expanded our capabilities with response automation, insight tags, and integrations across all major security platforms, reinforcing our position as the first truly vendor-agnostic AI SOC analyst. And as an early OpenAI partner, we're pushing the boundaries of what's possible in AI-driven cybersecurity. None of this would be possible without our incredible team, amazing customers, dedicated partners, and the cybersecurity community. And a special THANK YOU to our investors: IQT (In-Q-Tel), Decibel Partners, Theory Ventures, and Pioneer Square Labs - for believing in our vision. You've all helped us prove that our AI SOC analyst can be a trusted teammate in security operations. 🤝 Here's to the next chapter of making SOC teams stronger! P.S. For the gamers out there wondering about our name – Dropzone is a nod to RTS games like StarCraft II. Just as players drop units to defend their base, we're deploying AI analysts to help your team defend your networks. GG! 🎮 #Cybersecurity #DropzoneAI #AISOCAnalyst #Innovation

🛑 "Stop doing that."—but what if your AI doesn’t listen? AI in the SOC must learn, not just automate. But most models ignore context, workflows, and security policies. On the latest Risky Business podcast with host Patrick Gray, Dropzone AI founder Edward Wu explains how model coachability ensures AI adapts to your SOC—aligning with policies, learning from feedback, and making smarter decisions. 🔗 Watch here 👉 https://lnkd.in/eZ2j_WUT #SOC #SecurityOperations #AIinCyber #ThreatDetection
