Quick tip for SOC leaders measuring MTTR. Stop optimizing the human. Optimize what the human has to do.

Dropzone AI handles the investigation legwork autonomously. Correlating alerts, gathering evidence, documenting findings. Your analysts only engage when it actually matters.

The results are investigations that took hours and now take under 10 minutes with much better accuracy of up to 30%. And analysts who can finally focus on real threats.

Proven at over 300 enterprises who have deployed Dropzone AI. See the data at dropzone.ai.

Remember yesterday's 2 AM alert? Here's how it ends differently with Dropzone AI.

The alert fires. Within minutes, not hours, their AI SOC agents have already correlated logs across your entire security stack, built a complete evidence chain, and delivered a verdict. False positive, or escalate immediately.

Your analyst wakes up to answers, not a queue. That's autonomous investigation at enterprise scale.

It's 2 AM. An alert fires. Possible data exfiltration. Your on-call analyst is three time zones away, half-asleep, context-switching between tools.

By the time they piece together the evidence, forty-five minutes have passed. Was it a real threat or another false positive? The clock is ticking.

Tomorrow, I'll tell you how 300 enterprises solved this exact problem. But if you can't wait, head over to dropzone.ai to learn more.

How many alerts did your SOC investigate last week? How many sat in the queue untouched? If you don't know those numbers, or you don't like them, Dropzone AI can help. They've helped enterprises like UiPath and Zapier handle ten times more alerts without adding headcount. Their AI SOC agents work around the clock, investigating every alert autonomously. Book a demo and they'll show you exactly how many hours you could recover.
