# Detectionyard

*/Startups/Detectionyard*

## Startup Overview

Security operations teams face a continuous barrage of noisy telemetry, burying critical threats under thousands of false positives. This system ingests raw alert data across the security stack, automatically triages incoming signals, and executes predefined incident response playbooks. It evaluates each event, filters out benign anomalies, and directly remediates verified threats without requiring manual analyst intervention.

Legacy orchestration tools like Splunk SOAR and Cortex XSOAR lock teams into volume-based licensing, while outsourced MSSPs rely on opaque, labor-intensive workflows. This infrastructure shifts the economic model by billing exclusively per confirmed resolution. Every automated triage decision and playbook execution produces cryptographic audit evidence, generating a mathematically verifiable ledger of the entire incident lifecycle.

## Startup Founding Hypothesis

**Approach**: that triages noisy telemetry and executes automated incident playbooks
**Competitors**:

- [Cortex XSOAR](/Competitors/Cortex_XSOAR)
- [Outsourced MSSPs](/Competitors/Outsourced_MSSPs)
**Differentiator2x2**: billed per confirmed resolution and backed by cryptographic audit evidence

## Startup Proof Points

_Illustrative — target and order-of-magnitude estimate figures, not an achieved track record (this Thing is concept-stage)._

**Pilot Goals**:
- 14-day shadow-mode deployment to validate triage decisions against historical human analyst actions, aiming to prove >95% accuracy before enabling active containment.
- 30-day active pilot focusing on a single high-volume alert type (e.g., identity lockouts) to demonstrate an immediate 50% drop in manual intervention.
- 60-day enterprise API integration trial to prove guaranteed 30-second execution SLAs across a dedicated multi-tenant deployment.
**Target Metrics**:
- Target: 60% reduction in manual Tier-1 SOC ticket volume.
- Aim: <120 seconds from alert generation to verified containment for standard playbook executions.
- Target: 100% compliance audit pass rate utilizing the immutable cryptographic evidence ledger.
- Aim: $0 wasted spend on legacy SOAR engineering maintenance, replacing it with pure usage-based resolution billing.
**Target Case Studies**:
- Mid-market SaaS Security Director: Reduce Tier-1 manual triage volume by 60% by routing routine alerts through automated playbook execution.
- Fintech SecOps Lead: Achieve sub-2-minute containment for critical endpoint alerts while utilizing human-in-the-loop approvals to prevent production disruptions.
- MSSP Operations Manager: Augment overnight shift coverage by autonomously resolving and cryptographically logging routine tenant alerts before the morning shift arrives.
**Testimonial Targets**:
- Security Operations Center (SOC) Manager: Relief at the elimination of alert fatigue and praise for the reliability of the turnkey playbooks compared to legacy SOAR platforms.
- Chief Information Security Officer (CISO): Validation of the cryptographic audit logs, confirming they perfectly satisfy strict SOC 2 and ISO 27001 evidentiary requirements.
- MSSP Director of Operations: Endorsement of the usage-based pricing model, highlighting the ability to scale client volume without linearly increasing overnight engineering headcount.

## Startup Top Risks

**Risks**:
- Severity: existential · Description: Automated response playbooks isolate critical production infrastructure due to a false positive, causing a catastrophic client outage and triggering massive liability. · Mitigation Status: unmitigated
- Severity: high · Description: Clients systematically dispute the definition of a confirmed resolution to avoid payment, directly undermining the performance-based revenue model. · Mitigation Status: in-progress
- Severity: high · Description: Upstream security vendors deprecate or rate-limit the APIs required for automated playbook actions, rendering the platform unable to execute remediation. · Mitigation Status: unmitigated
- Severity: moderate · Description: Generating and storing cryptographic audit evidence for every telemetry ingestion and micro-action introduces severe infrastructure costs that destroy unit economics. · Mitigation Status: in-progress

## Startup Story Brand

**Hero**:
- **Need**: to be the strategic architect of a resilient defense, not a triage clerk
- **Want**: to resolve high-volume security alerts without scaling manual headcount
- **Identity**: the SOC manager at a mid-market SaaS or Fintech organization
**Plan**:
- Step: Submit playbooks · Detail: Define your specific containment rules for identity lockouts or endpoint isolation.
- Step: Approve actions · Detail: Grant permission for destructive containment steps via Slack before they execute.
- Step: Download audits · Detail: Receive a cryptographic ledger entry proving every step taken for your auditors.
**Guide**:
- **Empathy**: You shouldn't still be drowning in false positives. Splunk SOAR wasn't built to provide autonomous remediation with cryptographic proof.
**Problem**:
- **Villain**: alert fatigue
- **External**: Splunk or Cortex XSOAR consoles overflow with thousands of unverified alerts that require repetitive manual investigation across Slack and endpoint tools
- **Internal**: You feel paralyzed by the fear that a critical breach is hiding in the noise
- **Philosophical**: Security operations was built for strategic defense, not for burning human hours on repetitive triage.
**Success**: Alert queues stay at zero while every containment action is backed by forensic evidence that satisfies any auditor.
**One Liner**: Every shift, SOC managers face unmanageable alert volumes. Detectionyard executes automated incident playbooks so teams resolve threats with cryptographic certainty.
**Positioning**:
- **So That**: incidents reach containment in under two minutes
- **Unlike**: legacy SOAR engineering
- **For Whom**: SOC managers at mid-market SaaS platforms
- **Category**: Autonomous security incident remediation
**Call To Action**:
- **Direct**: Resolve an incident
- **Transitional**: Review sample audit ledger
**Failure Stakes**:
- Critical breaches missed in noise
- Burnt out SOC analysts
- Failed SOC 2 audits
**Transformation**:
- **To**: one of the few SOC managers who scales security without hiring more analysts
- **From**: a SOC lead buried in Splunk triage
**Controlling Idea**: Security resolution must be autonomous, verifiable, and billed only when successful.
