“In 2025, we have seen a significant acceleration of real-world AI adoption in SOC. Today, our AI SOC analysts are processing security alerts in production from over 300 enterprises and have recovered over $10 million of SOC productivity that can now be spent on other critical security projects,” said Edward Wu, Founder and CEO of Dropzone AI. “But we’re not stopping at a single agent. We’re building toward a fully agentic SOC where human engineers and analysts are augmented with multiple specialized agents to work together on threat hunting, detection engineering, forensics, and threat intelligence. That’s where this is headed. Not just faster investigation, but entire Detection and Response functions operating at machine scale with human strategy directing them. We’re weaponizing LLMs to give defenders the advantage.”
“What’s driving our momentum is simple: results. Customers are expanding because Dropzone’s AI agents are delivering accuracy, speed, and tangible productivity gains inside the SOC. As organizations adopt an agentic security model, Dropzone is becoming a core platform for scaling security operations without scaling headcount,” said Amit Patel, Chief Revenue Officer, Dropzone AI.
As Dropzone scales in 2026, the company is evolving from a single AI SOC analyst to a team of specialized AI agents (ranging from threat hunters, detection engineers, forensics analysts, threat intelligence analysts, to security data architects) operating alongside human security engineers. This evolution represents Dropzone’s vision of an agentic SOC where human expertise is scaled and accelerated by a team of autonomous agents across all SOC functions.
