Products built around a software analyst persona: an AI that picks up a security alert, runs the investigation end to end, documents its reasoning, and closes or escalates the case the way a human tier 1 analyst would. A narrower class…

Legion Security

Browser-native agentic AI SOC platform that learns analyst workflows

Founded
2024
Deployment
Cloud

Legion Security offers an agentic AI security operations platform that deploys through the analyst's browser rather than through API integrations. The system observes analyst investigations, playbooks and past cases in a learning mode, then executes workflows in the browser with human oversight (companion mode) or with reduced intervention (autonomous mode). Press coverage describes it as a browser extension AI SOC companion that works across tools such as Chrome, Edge and Island. The company was founded in 2024 by former Microsoft Sentinel team members and emerged from stealth in July 2025.

Prophet Security

Tier 1 SOC Automation
Best fit for

Security teams that want autonomous alert investigation with visible reasoning layered onto their existing SIEM, EDR and identity stack.

Prophet Security builds an agentic AI SOC platform whose main component, Prophet AI SOC Analyst, autonomously triages, investigates and responds to security alerts, alongside an AI Threat Hunter and an AI Detection Advisor aligned to MITRE ATT&CK. The platform shows its full reasoning, investigation plans, queries and evidence for each investigation. It deploys by taking read-only API access to existing tools such as SIEM, identity providers, cloud platforms and EDR, and returns results in an investigation workbench. The company was co-founded by Kamal Shah and Vibhav Sreekanti, whose prior company StackRox was acquired by Red Hat.

Frequently Asked Questions

An autonomous AI analyst is software that performs the job of a security analyst on a given alert: it reads the alert, gathers evidence from connected tools, reasons about whether the activity is malicious, writes up its findings, and closes or escalates the case. The vendors in this class present the product as an analyst you add to the team rather than a workflow platform you configure.

Autonomy is configurable everywhere in this class. All three vendors support a mode where the AI investigates and recommends while a human confirms actions, and a higher-trust mode where routine cases close without intervention. Teams typically start supervised and expand autonomy as verdicts prove reliable. Vendor-reported autonomy rates are rarely benchmarked independently, so validate on your own alert mix.

Autonomous AI analysts are a subset of the broader tier 1 SOC automation category. The broader category includes hyperautomation platforms and multi-agent suites that automate SOC workflows in general. This class covers the products whose core offering is the analyst itself: one AI persona that owns an investigation from alert to resolution.
