Introducing Exaforce MDR: A Managed SOC That Runs on AI

Security operations today are caught in a painful paradox. For organizations without a Security Operations Center (SOC), building one from scratch is costly, time-consuming, and resource-intensive, requiring headcount and tooling that many simply can’t afford. For those that already have a SOC, the challenge shifts to scale: every new cloud service/tool or identity system you adopt adds sources to monitor, detections to maintain, and alerts to investigate. A survey found that 65% of analysts are at risk of churn due to burnout from existing SOC environments, putting institutional and technical knowledge at risk and leaving organizations more vulnerable to noise, blind spots, and missed threats. The result is the same whether you’re starting from zero or operating at scale.

Agentic MDR for any stage of maturity

With Exaforce’s Managed Detection and Response (MDR) service, we’re addressing both ends of that spectrum. Built on our full-lifecycle Agentic SOC platform, MDR brings AI-powered detection, triage, investigation, and response to customers in days, not months. For teams without a SOC, it delivers 24/7 monitoring, response, and tailored protection without the need to hire an in-house team. For established SOCs, it acts as a force multiplier, absorbing noise, filling coverage gaps, and freeing analysts to focus on the incidents that matter. By combining our AI agents, called “Exabots,” with experienced analysts, we’ve created an MDR that is always on, responds faster, the handoff between human and machine is seamless, and the learning curve is virtually eliminated.

Closing the MDR context and coverage gaps

Most MDRs face two persistent challenges: they drown in false positives and lack the business context needed to separate routine activity from real threats. Exaforce eliminates both. From day one, our Exabots ingest your environment’s configurations, identities, and past alerts, so the platform understands full historical context and provides that to our analysts. This way, they know not just what’s unusual, but what’s unusual for you, and that knowledge is retained and passed forward.

We also expand coverage to blind spots SIEMs often miss, such as source code management systems like GitHub and collaboration platforms like Google Workspace. Our MDR analysts are trained in these systems and know how to follow up effectively, ensuring overlooked attack surfaces don’t become the weak link.

Smarter triage and deeper investigations

Every alert, whether from Exaforce detections, your cloud tools, or a third-party SIEM, is triaged with AI-driven reasoning. False positives are removed, signals are enriched with identity and behavioral context, and only high-confidence alerts reach our analysts. This reduces noise for customers and frees our team to focus on the incidents that matter.

When investigations are needed, Exaforce accelerates them with automated evidence gathering, contextual linking across identities and systems, and powerful data exploration for threat hunting. Analysts can quickly build timelines, trace attacker behaviors, and guide containment in minutes instead of hours, leading to faster, more confident responses.

Response that’s tailored, transparent, and fast

Speed isn’t our only advantage. We partner closely with each customer to tailor protections to their priorities. Our Exabots confirm suspicious activity directly with end users via Slack or Microsoft Teams, loop in managers when needed, and even automate actions like password resets, MFA resets, or session terminations through integrations with your identity provider. Whether handled by a human in the loop or executed autonomously by Exabot, every action is backed by context, transparency, and accountability. Customers also have full access to the underlying Exaforce platform at all times to see what we see, making it easy to have informed conversations about security posture and continuous improvement.

Bringing world-class SOC capabilities to everyone

Because our MDR is AI-enabled at every step, it’s not limited to enterprises with deep pockets and large teams. We’re democratizing access to world-class SOC capabilities for companies of all sizes. Now, even a small team can have around-the-clock protection and the confidence that someone is “watching the store” while reclaiming critical time needed to focus on key business needs. And for larger teams, MDR becomes a way to absorb the operational load without losing control over strategy, visibility, and transparency

Ready in a day, delivering value immediately

With Exaforce MDR, you’re not getting an expensive notification service that dumps alerts back into your queue. You’re getting a partner that investigates, contextualizes, and responds better, faster, and with a depth of understanding that feels like we’re sitting next to you. We’re easy to onboard, and can start delivering value within the same day. The only thing left for you to decide is what you’ll do with the time and peace of mind you get back.
