Our founder, Edward Wu, breaks down how Dropzone AI’s SOC Analyst automates tier-one work on the Risky Business Podcast. Listen Now 🎙️ bit.ly/4efBHI6 #AI #SOCAutomation #AlertFatigue #Podcast

Deterministic verdicts from a non-deterministic model. From RSAC 2026, @SecWeekly talks with Edward Wu, Founder and CEO of Dropzone AI, on how a coordinated AI agent team investigates and hunts at machine speed, and why the reasoning stays visible. Link to the Edwards segment👉 bit.ly/4gFYKAh

"What just happened?" Here's how the AI SOC Analyst answers it: alert → collect evidence → reason recursively → verdict in plain English → contain confirmed threats → remember. No black box. Just the reasoning, on the record, for your team to sign off on. See it investigate on real alerts → dropzone.ai/self-guided-de…

AI in the SOC is going from assisting analysts to acting on its own, and the proof just hasn't caught up yet. The 2026 Gartner® Hype Cycle™ for Security Operations maps the shift and warns hard about "GenAI washing" and "agent washing." Download your copy 👉 bit.ly/4vUYulg

The AI Threat Hunter gives you 280+ prebuilt hunt packs, ready on demand or on a schedule. Start one and it surfaces only what matters. In one real environment it caught web shell tunneling that would've taken an analyst over a week. See what it finds 👉 bit.ly/4agSB9x #ThreatHunting

The AI SOC Analyst shows its work. Every query, every reason behind the verdict. You set the direction; it executes at machine speed. The AI Threat Hunter hunts what never trips an alert. Try it on a real alert. Link to our self-guided demo 👉 bit.ly/4blh9yz Reinforcements have arrived.

A quiet alert queue isn't a clean environment. Lateral movement, living-off-the-land, and valid-account abuse sit below the detection threshold and surface only when someone hunts. A thorough hunt is hours of cross-tool work, so teams manage a few a quarter. Autonomous hunting makes it hypothesis-driven, federated, and continuous, with analysts directing instead of querying.

Patrick Duffy is joining Dropzone AI as Head of Product. He joins from Material Security, after building the MDR category's first automated remediation capability at Expel. At Dropzone AI, he'll lead product and UX as we grow the Agentic SOC, building AI agents security teams trust for high-confidence work across investigation, threat hunting, and incident response. Welcome to the team, Patrick! Read the Press Release bit.ly/4xCi4EA

Dropzone AI is a 2026 Intellyx Digital Innovator Award winner. The recognition follows our analyst briefing with @Intellyx on the Agentic SOC: AI agents that investigate alerts, respond to emerging threats, and hunt attackers, so security teams scale detection and response without scaling headcount.

His own AI agent escaped his lab. It remembered a jump server he'd used once and found its way out, past his firewalls. On the latest Beyond the Alert, our podcast for security operations leaders, host Anne Gotay talks with Dhruv Majumdar of Fleet Device Management about why he now treats AI like malware, and why you can't hand response to a machine on its own.

"Autonomous" is the easy part. Staying in control is the hard part. Meet AI Threat Hunter, the newest agent on the Dropzone AI team, is now in closed beta. You set the scope and authorization. The agent runs federated hunts across your stack and logs every step. Up to 40 hours of hunting in about an hour. Watch a hunt run end to end: bit.ly/4edxyqA

Detection isn't the hard part. Blast radius is. After your gateway flags the phishing email, you still need to know who clicked the link, who entered creds, and whose inbox is forwarding it. Our AI SOC Analyst runs that investigation automatically: dropzone.ai/blog/phishing-…

Claude Mythos can find novel exploits faster than vendors can patch them, and detection rules can't catch what has no signature. But every attacker still has to do something once they're inside. In an agentic SOC, AI agents investigate every alert end to end and correlate the ones that were dismissed, instead of waiting for a known pattern. Full breakdown: bit.ly/4nqbc8o

🏆 Dropzone AI is a 2026 #GeekWireAwards finalist for Startup of the Year. The finalist list comes out of a months-long community nomination and judging process, narrowed to a handful of Northwest startups less than five years old. We're proud to be one of them. Ceremony is this Thursday, May 7th at Showbox SoDo in Seattle, presented by Astound Business Solutions. Thanks to everyone who voted for us!

Most SOCs don't run threat hunts as often as they should. Time and expertise are scarce. At today's SANS Spring Cyber Solutions Fest 2026 Detection & Response Track, our team shows what changes when AI agents handle the hunt. "From Intel to Action: Autonomous Threat Hunting with AI Agents." Live demo at 2:15 PM EDT. Virtual and Free to attend. Christopher A. (Director of Sales Engineering) and Andrew Jerry (SOC Automation Lead) walk through federated hunting across SIEM, EDR, cloud, and identity. Register Now: bit.ly/3OKrRa5

Most SOC teams start with their most critical alerts. That's why they stay underwater. On the latest episode of Beyond the Alert with Anne Gotay, Darren LaCasse, Director of Threat Intelligence, Detection & Response at Elastic, shares his approach to clearing the queue. He sorts on volume, clears the biggest bucket, then asks why those alerts existed at all. youtu.be/FoHP8MrPYko

More AI capability can mean more attack surface. Unbounded agents turn every permission into a blast radius. Every plugin is inherited exposure. The answer isn't less AI. It's structured autonomy. Where exactly is that line? bit.ly/4uhs03L #AISecurity #AIAgents

Microsoft Defender called it "medium severity." It was a DPRK supply chain RAT in an npm package with 83M weekly downloads. Our AI agents investigated every alert regardless of label. They caught it. Read the debrief: dropzone.ai/blog/blog-axio… #SupplyChainSecurity

A zero-day drops Sunday night. By Monday morning, three AI agents have already hunted, investigated, and delivered a report. No human initiated it. @DropzoneAI founder Edward Wu explains the philosophy behind it: bit.ly/4mpJkRy

$7.42M per breach. 62% of healthcare orgs can't retain security staff. Small teams juggling compliance, clinical support, and alert triage simultaneously. AI SOC agents handle Tier-1 investigations 24/7 so those teams focus on what actually matters. Breach lifecycles drop by 80 days. Read the full breakdown ↓ bit.ly/4txx18G
