UnderDefense

UnderDefense builds MAXI, an agentic AI SOC and compliance automation platform delivered with an award-winning human-led MDR service. MAXI powers a network of autonomous Agentic Teammates covering key SecOps roles (detection, investigation, response, and threat intelligence), and its multi-agent system autonomously handles roughly 80% of Tier 1 and Tier 2 tasks so analysts can focus on the 20% that matters. The platform automates detection, investigation, and response 24/7, delivering complete incident context in about two minutes and cutting mean-time-to-contain to 15 minutes with automated containment within five minutes of detection, powered by AI models trained on 8+ years of the firm's own threat research and incident data. What most distinguishes UnderDefense from pure-software AI-SOC entrants is the human layer built into the architecture: 120 certified security engineers validate AI findings, and a ChatOps user-verification capability (which the company says no competitor offers) has analysts reach out to affected users directly via Slack or Teams to confirm suspicious activity, closing the context gap that AI-only detection leaves open, contributing to a stated zero-ransomware record across all MDR customers over six years and detection documented as two days faster than CrowdStrike OverWatch. MAXI integrates with 250+ security tools with no vendor lock-in, ships 1500+ prebuilt correlation rules that reduce false positives by 90%, and adds compliance automation for always-on audit readiness (ISO 27001, SOC), network monitoring, user behavior analytics, and forensics. In May 2026 UnderDefense launched what it calls the first agentic AI SOC built for closed, sovereign, and air-gapped environments, extending the platform on-premise for the most restricted deployments, and it offers a freemium entry point plus consumption-aligned MDR pricing. Within the lane, UnderDefense is the managed-service agentic-SOC entrant, a human-led counterpart to airmdr with a stronger enterprise, on-prem/sovereign, and compliance footprint.
