Dropzone AI @DropzoneAI

"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

Dropzone AI SOC Analyst just won the 2026 BIG Innovation Award 🏆 Honored to be recognized among 159 global trailblazers for innovation that delivers measurable results. Detection and response teams don't need more pilots. They need AI that works autonomously. See the winners: bit.ly/3YDxojV @BigAwards

Nation-state actors use AI to scale reconnaissance. Web3 teams get buried under thousands of alerts monthly. Mysten Labs cut alerts by 99% and investigation time by 90%+ with AI SOC Agents and no hiring required. Read more in our latest blog 👇 bit.ly/3Z4vtVW

Most SOCs can't investigate every alert. Not from negligence, but from being overwhelmed by volume. Our AI SOC analysts work continuously, investigating alerts thoroughly in under 10 minutes. You now have complete coverage without expanding your team. bit.ly/4sEMyDa

We're honored to receive the 2026 Big Innovation Award from @BIGAwards in the Innovative Products category for our AI SOC Analyst! 🚀 As we build toward humans and AI agents working together on threat hunting, detection engineering, and forensics, this recognition means a lot to us. bit.ly/4a9fQSf

Operations Manager in the Services (non-Government) Industry gives Dropzone AI 5/5 Rating in Gartner Peer Insights™ IT Security Market. 🏆 "Our experience with Dropzone AI has been exceptional." Minimal setup. Intuitive interface. Consolidates IR tools into one place. Read the full review here: gtnr.io/dd9CyJM4D #gartnerpeerinsights

We're building toward the fully agentic SOC. Human analysts augmented by specialized AI agents for threat hunting, detection engineering, forensics, and threat intelligence. Entire Detection and Response functions operating at machine scale with human strategy directing them. Our mission: weaponize LLMs for cyber defenders. bwnews.pr/3Zd1jj0

Attackers are using AI to run full cyberattack campaigns. Anthropic: One operator + AI = 17 orgs compromised in 30 days. VPN scanning, credential theft, custom ransom notes ($500K+ Bitcoin). Defenders need AI that investigates, not to just forwards alerts. bit.ly/4sJ4ixu

Prompt engineering, context engineering, scaffolding ... these are all terms that engineers grappling with this new technology are using to describe the techniques required to get agentic systems to behave reliably. We're just sharing our experiences with how these systems fail and what's worked.

Our CEO Edward Wu joined The Audit podcast to discuss how he spent 8 years at AttackIQ generating millions of security alerts, then built Dropzone AI to fix the problem he created. How AI tier-1 analysts automate 90% of alert triage and why attackers only need to be right once. Watch to learn more 👇 youtu.be/8oFmpTZSSvw

When every AI SOC vendor claims the same integrations, what are you comparing besides the UI? Tomorrow 1 PM ET: @edwardxwu joins @CISOSeries "Hacking SOC Workflow" with Cenlar FSB CISO Jason Shockey & @dspark. This is the conversation the AI SOC space needs. bit.ly/49tVi6z #SOC #AISOC
