Agentic Index
7AI vs Simbian (2026)
Both run swarms of specialized agents over the alert stream, at 8.5 and 9.5 of 14, and both come from credible security lineage. That verdict is the Agentic Index coverage score, graded from each vendor's own published materials.
7AI, from the Cybereason founders, runs sixty plus domain specialized agents working each alert in parallel across endpoint, identity, cloud, email and network through to response. Simbian runs operations, threat hunting and penetration testing agents over a shared Context Lake, closing an offensive to defensive loop with a reported 92 percent auto resolution. 7AI parallelizes across domains; Simbian connects offense to defense, and those are different bets about where the leverage is.
On the Agentic Index AI SOC ranking, 7AI clears the bar and Simbian does not. 7AI documents all five investigation loop capabilities in full; Simbian does not document observability and auditability in full, nor human oversight and guardrails. 24 of the 94 vendors in the lane clear it.

This comparison is published by Agentic Index, an independent agentic AI vendor research platform. 7AI and Simbian are each graded against the same 14 capability Agentic Index taxonomy, from the vendor's own public materials under the Agentic Index verification standard, alongside 969 researched vendors. No vendor pays for placement and no vendor has reviewed this page. How this evidence is graded
Choose 7AI if
- Domain specialization across endpoint, identity, cloud, email and network matches your estate.
- Parallel agents per alert is the architecture you find most credible.
- Founding team credibility from a prior security company reduces your risk.
Choose Simbian if
- Documented coverage is broader and a published resolution rate is evidence you want.
- Penetration testing agents alongside defensive operations closes a loop you run separately.
- A shared Context Lake across offensive and defensive work is the differentiator.

Knowledge Grounding & RAG Ability to ground agent behavior in company data through document ingestion, retrieval, external knowledge APIs, semantic search, or RAG layers. |
Full / Explicit
Grounding is on the customer's own environment context graph and security telemetry rather than general document retrieval, but it is a shipped, named context product applied to every case. |
Full / Explicit |
|
Memory & State Persistence Ability to persist context across a run, conversation, workflow, user, team, or longer-term memory layer. |
Partial
Case state and an environment context graph persist and the agentic flywheel feeds outcomes back into detection, but no agent memory layer is documented as a distinct capability. |

SOC 2 Type II complete, named auditor Decrypt Compliance; no trust centre, pen test, SSO or RBAC documentation retrieved. F requires an attestation plus at least one named customer facing control, so this is scope rather than doubt: confidence is high on what the attestation covers. Prior F rested on founder pedigree and an AWS Marketplace listing, which is not evidence. |
