Where UnderDefense Pulls Ahead

AI SOC Automates Investigation, Humans Decide

ReliaQuest’s automation often misses the nuance needed for a fast response. Our sophisticated AI SOC automates the entire investigation and enrichment process, providing deep-context findings to the human analysts who know your environment. AI speed. Human judgment.

Investigation Times Cut from 25 to 5 minutes

Up to 80% of investigation time with ReliaQuest is manual context gathering. UnderDefense automates the entire process, delivering complete context instantly. What used to take 25 minutes, takes 5 with us. Speed is the main barrier that keeps a contained incident from becoming a crisis.

24/7 Award-winning Incident Response Support

Get a strong defense with our award-winning experts available 24/7. We move beyond basic monitoring to provide constant protection and rapid incident response. Under attack? We stay on the call until the threat is resolved, the environment is secure, and your operations keep running.

Deploy in Your Cloud, Your Region, Under Your Control

Compliance isn’t negotiable. While most vendors process data in their own clouds, MAXI deploys inside your environment – any cloud, any region. Your data stays within your perimeter, fully isolated. This ensures you maintain 100% ownership and meet all the regulatory requirements without compromise.

No Vendor Lock-in Protects Your Investments

Building a security stack takes years. UnderDefense MAXI layers on top of your Splunk, Sentinel, Chronicle, or CrowdStrike — enhancing what you have instead of asking you to start over. Your architecture stays intact. Only threat resolution speed accelerates.

Frequently asked questions

How does UnderDefense compare to ReliaQuest MDR?

Both platforms provide security operations and threat detection. The key differences are in approach: UnderDefense MAXI uses agentic AI to deliver complete investigation context in under 5 minutes, while maintaining full transparency into every step. Unlike ReliaQuest, MAXI integrates with your existing SIEM and EDR without requiring migration to a proprietary platform. UnderDefense also provides direct analyst access via Slack and Teams, not a ticketing portal.

Can I switch from ReliaQuest cyber security to UnderDefense without disruption?

Yes. UnderDefense is designed to layer on top of your current security stack: Splunk, Sentinel, Chronicle, CrowdStrike, and 50+ other tools. There’s no rip-and-replace. UnderDefense handles a full 30-day onboarding process, building custom detections tuned to your environment and eliminating 99% of alert noise before go-live. Your team keeps working in the tools they already know.

What is the best alternative to ReliaQuest?

UnderDefense MAXI is an Agentic SOC platform with dedicated Tier 3–4 analysts, offering faster investigation, full transparency, zero vendor lock-in, and direct analyst access — addressing the most common frustrations ReliaQuest customers report.
