Agentic Index
Cyware vs Tines (2026)
Two SOC automation platforms that went agentic from different starting points.
Cyware is Cyber Fusion, an Agentic AI Fabric of specialized agents that enrich intelligence, engineer detections, reconstruct attacks and automate response, plus threat sharing networks, quoted through sales by module, documenting 12 of 14. Tines is vendor agnostic orchestration with a no code Storyboard, an AI Workbench and three explicit levels of control from deterministic through human led to autonomous, with a free community edition. Cyware if threat intelligence is your center of gravity; Tines if you want to keep the analyst provably in charge.
Choose Cyware if
- Threat intelligence is the core of your practice and intelligence sharing networks matter.
- You want specialized agents for detection engineering and attack reconstruction, not a general canvas.
- Documented coverage is broader across the matrix.
Choose Tines if
- Explicit control levels are the requirement: deterministic, human led and autonomous as a deliberate choice.
- A free community edition lets your team prove the workflow before any spend.
- Vendor agnostic orchestration matters because your security stack will keep changing.
