AirMDR
Also known as: AirMDR, AirMDR, Inc., AirMDR AI SOC Platform, AirMDR Virtual Analyst
AI-native MDR built around a Virtual Analyst that triages 95% of alerts in under five minutes and covers 100% of alert volume 24/7, paired with a round-the-clock human expert team that supervises, validates, and escalates its findings. Ships 240+ out-of-the-box integrations, automated playbooks, and an always-free plan automating 100% of alert triage. Founded by ArcSight/Sumo Logic/LogicHub veteran Kumar Saurabh; $15.5M seed; SOC 2 certified; sells to SMBs, enterprises, and through MSSPs.
AirMDR is an AI-native Managed Detection and Response provider built around a Virtual Analyst: an AI engine that autonomously triages, investigates, and responds to security alerts, completing investigations in two to five minutes that would take a human analyst 45 minutes or more, a roughly 20x speed gain. The AI triages 95% of all alerts in under five minutes and covers 100% of alert volume in real time, while a 24/7 team of experienced human analysts supervises, validates, escalates, and improves on the AI's findings, a hybrid architecture the company positions as a second layer of defense and the core of its product.
The platform ships over 240 out-of-the-box integrations with custom integrations in two to four weeks, combining automated playbooks with AI investigation. In August 2025 AirMDR launched its AI SOC Platform for MSSPs and enterprise SOCs, automating more than 90% of Tier-1 alert triage, including an always-free plan that automates 100% of alert triage with quick setup and no credit card.
Founded by Kumar Saurabh, who built first-generation SIEM at ArcSight, cloud analytics at Sumo Logic, and detection automation at LogicHub, AirMDR's mission is bringing Fortune 500 quality SOC coverage to every enterprise at an affordable price, targeting SMBs and mid-market organizations underserved by traditional MDR, and selling through MSSPs as a channel. SOC 2 certified and in production across multiple enterprise environments.
Within the AI-SOC-analyst cluster, AirMDR is the managed-service entrant: the AI analyst is wrapped in a human MDR delivery layer rather than sold as a standalone platform, with the strongest structural human-in-the-loop story in the sub-cluster and the lane's second free tier after Tines.
