Simbian vs Prophet Security
Simbian
Simbian builds AI agents for security operations. Its AI SOC Agent investigates alerts around the clock, collects evidence on every observable linked to an alert, classifies true and false positives with severity and confidence ratings, and proposes response actions without pre-built playbooks. Companion agents cover threat hunting, penetration testing, network security operations, and GRC questionnaires. The platform deploys as SaaS or on premises and integrates with more than 100 security and enterprise tools.
Pros
- Offers both SaaS and on-premises deployment, which suits environments with data residency constraints (vendor documentation)
- Covers several SecOps functions beyond alert triage, including threat hunting and GRC work, per SecurityWeek's launch coverage
- Designed to integrate with existing tools such as CrowdStrike, Palo Alto, and Cisco rather than replace them (SecurityWeek)
Things to check
- Young company: founded 2023, with a 10M dollar seed round as of its 2024 launch, so check vendor maturity and roadmap
- Headline figures such as a 92% automated resolution rate are vendor reported; validate against your own alert mix
- No public pricing; budgeting requires a sales conversation

Prophet Security
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.
Pros
- Raised a $30M Series A led by Accel with participation from Bain Capital Ventures, following an $11M seed led by Bain Capital Ventures (Pulse2, Help Net Security)
- Founders' prior company StackRox was acquired by Red Hat (company blog)
- Company reports over 1 million investigations conducted and 360,000 analyst hours saved in a six-month period (Pulse2, company-reported)
- Docker is a named customer with an executive quote in funding coverage (Pulse2)
Things to check
- Pricing is not published; prospective buyers need to request a quote
- Headline metrics such as 10x faster response and 96% fewer false positives are company-reported rather than independently audited
- The company emerged from stealth in April 2024, so long-term production references are still limited
