Embed’s AI Security Platform Automates Alert Triage & Investigation
▼ Summary
– Embed Security launched an agentic security platform that autonomously triages and investigates alerts, reducing manual workload for detection teams.
– Spencer Fane reported saving 155 analyst hours monthly using Embed, allowing focus on critical issues instead of false positives.
– Embed’s AI agents are trained specifically for cybersecurity investigations, offering high accuracy and transparency in decision-making.
– The platform is modular and tool-agnostic, integrating with existing security tools while providing granular visibility into alert reasoning.
– Embed currently offers email, cloud, and endpoint modules, with plans to expand to SIEM and Network capabilities later this year.
Security teams overwhelmed by alert fatigue now have an intelligent solution that automates critical triage processes while maintaining human-level reasoning. Embed Security’s new platform leverages specialized AI agents to handle the tedious work of sorting through security alerts, freeing analysts to focus on genuine threats. Early adopters report saving hundreds of hours previously wasted investigating false positives.
One notable case comes from Spencer Fane, where the legal firm’s security leadership witnessed dramatic efficiency gains. “We’ve reclaimed approximately 155 analyst hours monthly since implementation,” confirmed both CIO R. Allen Darrah and Information Security Manager Wai Sheng Cheng. “Beyond time savings, we now have unprecedented visibility into how each alert decision gets made.”
The platform’s effectiveness stems from its unique architecture. While many security tools use generic AI models, Embed’s system trains specialized agents exclusively on cybersecurity investigation patterns. “Our technology doesn’t just process data—it replicates the analytical reasoning of veteran SOC professionals,” explained CEO Seth Summersett. This approach maintains human-like judgment while operating at machine speed.
Three key features distinguish the platform’s methodology:
- Proprietary iSteps technology breaks investigations into intelligent modules that gather evidence and draw conclusions using the same logical progression as human experts.
- Currently available modules target major attack vectors:- Email security augments existing email protection tools to identify sophisticated threats – Cloud monitoring accelerates detection of compromised workloads and applications – Endpoint protection filters EDR noise to surface only critical alerts.
- With planned expansions into SIEM and network security later this year, the platform continues evolving to address the full spectrum of enterprise security needs. While currently limited to U.S. deployments, the technology demonstrates how specialized AI can transform overloaded security operations centers into strategic defense units.
By combining machine efficiency with human-like investigative rigor, the solution represents a significant leap forward in security automation—one that reduces risk while preserving the analytical depth security teams require.
