Here's a security tip most vendors won't tell you. Your SOC analysts aren't slow. They're drowning. The average enterprise faces tens of thousands of alerts daily, and even your best analysts can only investigate so many before burnout wins.

Dropzone AI changes that math. Their AI SOC agents autonomously investigate every alert, no playbooks or code required, in three to ten minutes flat.

Stop triaging. Start defending. Book a demo at dropzone.ai.
