The MTTR Advantage report on AI-powered investigations at scale

Every hour of delayed incident response costs your organization $800—but AI SOC agents are changing the game.

Security operations teams excel at threat detection but struggle with alert triage and timely incident response. While SIEMs and EDRs flag thousands of security alerts daily, the real bottleneck occurs between alert generation and investigation. This critical delay: Mean Time to Acknowledge (MTTA) gives attackers precious time to escalate privileges and move laterally. This whitepaper reveals how AI SOC agents automate alert triage, reduce MTTR by 80%, and minimize breach risk through autonomous investigation of every alert within minutes.

How AI SOC agents reduce MTTR by 80%: Compress Mean Time to Resolution from hours to minutes by autonomously investigating alerts the moment they arrive, virtually eliminating dangerous acknowledgment delays.

Why traditional SOAR automation fails: Understand how AI-powered autonomous investigation differs from basic playbook automation and why it's essential for modern security operations.

The $500K risk reduction model: Learn how investigating 4,000 additional alerts annually with AI SOC agents can avoid $500,000 in potential breach costs through improved coverage.

Real-world alert investigation examples: Discover how AI SOC agents uncover hidden threats in routine alerts that human analysts typically skip due to resource constraints.

Transform your security operations from reactive to proactive. Discover how Dropzone AI helps teams achieve 5X faster MTTR, investigate 100% of alerts, and reduce annual risk by up to $4.8M—all without adding headcount.

What our customers say

“The use of Dropzone allows Critical Insight’s SOC analysts to concentrate on the tasks that truly require human intelligence while having Dropzone handle SOC tasks suited for AI. We’ve measured and validated an increase in the speed and quality of investigations."

Garrett Silver

‍CEO, Critical Insight

"Too many legitimate alerts are never touched, while false positives consume valuable human time. With AI, not only can analysis occur more quickly and consistently, but all the enrichment and investigation avenues can be explored. Every time. That's a game-changer."

Jerry Perullo

‍former CISO, Intercontinental Exchange (parent of NYSE)

"Dropzone AI can fundamentally change the asymmetry in cyber defense. By using AI to handle routine tasks, it lets security teams focus on their top priorities."

Caleb Sima

‍former CSO, Robinhood

The volume and velocity of alerts that SOC teams must triage is ever accelerating. The cognitive automation enabled by LLMs brings a step function in automation to thoroughly investigate all alerts in a way that traditional playbook automation cannot.
