Selection rules

  • Start with the SOC bottleneck: alert triage, investigation, detection engineering, SOAR playbooks, endpoint response, identity incidents, email threats, or cloud exposure.
  • Test each tool on real alerts and require visible evidence, source citations, analyst review, approval controls, and rollback paths before automating response.
  • Upgrade only when AI reduces mean time to investigate without hiding security reasoning, over-automating destructive actions, or bypassing existing SIEM, SOAR, XDR, IAM, and ticketing controls.
