AI SOC vs. SIEM:
Close the Response Gap
Our guide breaks down exactly where your SIEM stops, what an AI SOC actually does, and how to evaluate a layer that completes your stack, so you can:
Why use the AI SOC + SIEM buyer's guide?
SOC teams now receive upwards of 11,000 alerts daily, and the Verizon 2024 DBIR found that in 74% of breaches alerts were generated but ignored.
Keep your existing SIEM intact.
MAXI ingests alerts via Splunk REST, Elastic Detection Engine, and Sentinel Graph APIs without touching log storage, compliance reporting, or your data lake.
Close the detection-to-response gap.
Detection-as-code delivers 96% MITRE ATT&CK coverage versus the 24% enterprise SIEM average, mapped to specific techniques with version-controlled Python rules.
Verify users before containment.
ChatOps reaches affected users via Slack, Teams, or email to confirm suspicious activity, replacing the “please investigate” tickets typical of legacy MSSPs.
Run the real cost math.
Compare $700K–$1.2M for an in-house 24/7 SOC against published $11–$15 per endpoint per month MAXI pricing, with documented 830% three-year ROI.
What’s inside?
Twelve self-contained questions covering the operational gap between SIEM detection and AI SOC response, each grounded in benchmarks from Verizon DBIR, MITRE ATT&CK coverage data, and 500+ MDR deployments.
