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.

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.
