Dropzone AI

Great conversation between John Hammond and founder Edward Wu on the challenges security teams face when handling alerts and investigations. They discussed why traditional automation hasn’t solved it, how security teams need smarter tools that adapt, and why technology should work alongside analysts, not add to their workload. A key takeaway: AI SOC analysts should be coachable—learning from teams, understanding context, and making investigations smoother. Huge thanks to John for the great conversation!

Being a SOC analyst can be hectic. 😫 The pressure to move fast is constant. New analysts often feel like they're "bothering" someone when they ask questions. But rushing through alert triage can lead to missed evidence and bad decisions. Andrew Jerry highlights a critical point: Slow down when it matters. 👉 Taking the time to properly collect data prevents mistakes. 👉 Thoughtfully forming hypotheses leads to better security decisions. 👉 Cutting corners in triage can result in overlooking real threats. How do you balance speed vs. accuracy in alert triage? Have you ever caught something others missed because you took a step back? Watch the video and share your experience. #Cybersecurity #AlertTriage #SOCAnalyst #DropzoneAI

What does it take to build AI that actually works in cybersecurity? For years, security automation has been stuck with rigid playbooks, rule-based workflows, and endless alerts that still need us humans to review. But with LLMs, that’s finally changing. On the Founded & Funded podcast, Edward Wu sat down with Madrona’s Vivek Ramaswami to break down: 🔹 Why Edward left academia to solve real-world security challenges 🔹 Why automation alone isn’t enough—AI needs to think and reason like an analyst 🔹 How Dropzone AI landed UiPath without cold outreach 🔹 What it takes to stand out in one of the most competitive markets in cybersecurity Building AI for security isn’t just a technical challenge, it’s about understanding how security teams actually work.

🔎 Do you trust your instincts as a SOC analyst? One sign of experience in security analysis is learning when to trust what you know, and when to ask for help. Attackers may break the rules, but they still have rules they must play by. Recognizing these patterns and having confidence in your analysis is key. But what happens when you hit a wall? Watch Senior Security Analyst Andrew Jerry's take on why trusting yourself is critical—and when to ask for help is just as important. 🎥👇 #CyberSecurity #SOCAnalyst #ThreatDetection #AI

If you're interested but skeptical about AI’s role in cybersecurity, you’re not alone. Plenty of teams are asking: Can AI actually help with alert fatigue, or is it just another tool to manage? Join us tomorrow at 10 AM PT / 1 PM ET for a 30-minute live demo + Q&A on how Dropzone AI automates alert triage. 🔍 In this live demo, you'll experience: 🔹 How security teams actually use it in day-to-day operations. 🔹 How AI takes on repetitive investigations, freeing up your team. 🔹 What’s happening behind the scenes (no black boxes, no hallucinations). No pressure. No sales pitch. Just straight answers. Register Here 👉 https://bit.ly/3DyiKU4 #Cybersecurity #DropzoneAI #AIAnalyst #AlertTriage

🛡️ Cybersecurity is changing fast—are you ready for what’s next?

Welcome to the Team, John Silva! 🎉 John is a Software Engineer bringing his experience and passion for cybersecurity to our amazing engineering team. When he’s not optimizing code, you’ll find him hitting the trails, mastering Spanish, lifting heavy weights, or gaming. Glad to have you on the team, John!

If AI is making security decisions, how do we know it’s getting them right? As SOC teams move from human-led investigations to AI-augmented workflows, one thing is clear—AI must show its work. It can’t just return a result and expect that we trust the output. AI needs to explain its reasoning, provide an audit trail of how it processed and validated findings, and be benchmarked against human analysts. Without clear performance comparisons, how do we measure AI’s effectiveness against a junior, mid-level, or a top-tier SOC analyst? Daniel Miessler ⚙️ explains that AI could be right 98 times and wrong twice, but in cybersecurity, those two mistakes could be catastrophic. Trust in AI requires transparency and measurable benchmarks. Without them, can AI truly be relied on to investigate threats? #AI #Cybersecurity #SOC #DropzoneAI
