Dropzone AI
AI SOC analyst that investigates every security alert end to end across the SIEM, EDR, identity, and cloud tools a team already runs. Dropzone AI raised a $37 million Series B led by Theory Ventures in 2025.
Security teams and MSSPs drowning in tier-1 alerts who want every alert investigated with a written report, without writing playbooks.
Teams that want a full SIEM replacement, or shops with so few alerts that one analyst already clears the queue.
Verdict
Dropzone AI builds an AI SOC analyst: software that takes each security alert, pulls evidence from the SIEM, EDR, identity, email, and cloud tools, and writes up whether it is real. Security operations teams and managed security providers use it to investigate every alert in the queue instead of the small share people have time for. Attackers are speeding up with AI while most SOCs still investigate by hand, and Dropzone does that first pass without anyone writing a playbook.

Review Excerpts
Excerpts from company materials and public coverage of Dropzone AI, plus representative buyer views drawn from public information. Paid reviews and pay-for-play sites were excluded.
“Matching alert growth with linear headcount simply isn’t viable ... Dropzone allowed us to scale our analysts’ impact without replacing the people who make our SOC effective.”
“Dropzone AI stood out because it worked like an analyst, not a rules engine. Unlike other automation tools, it isn’t a black box; analysts can see every query it runs and every piece of evidence it gathers, which builds trust in the results.”
“It investigates alerts and does not author detection rules, so detection engineers still need another tool.”
