The Human+AI SOC

COMPANY OVERVIEW

Andesite is a cybersecurity company founded in 2023 and headquartered in McLean, Virginia, building a bionic SOC for human and AI collaboration. The founding team spent decades defending the nation against sophisticated adversaries — serving in senior roles at the CIA, the military, the White House, and some of the most influential enterprises on the planet — and started Andesite to build security products that support and empower the analysts who protect others. Its mission is to elevate cybersecurity teams from the menial to the meaningful, making their work both more effective and more fulfilling.

Backed by Red Cell Partners, General Catalyst, and IQT, Andesite is built for the high-complexity, high-risk world of enterprise — serving highly regulated private-sector organizations across financial services and banking, high tech, critical infrastructure, and healthcare and biotech, alongside the Department of Defense, the intelligence community, and federal government. Security is in the company's DNA: Andesite is FedRAMP High Authorized, SOC 2 Type II, NIST 800-53 (High), NIST CSF, ISO 27001, ISO 27701, ISO 42001, PCI DSS, HIPAA, HITRUST, AI RMF, and CSA AI-STAR Level 2, with a Compliance High trust center documenting over 500 continuous monitoring controls.

CORE FOCUS

Rather than adding another tool to the SOC maze, Andesite has redesigned the architecture of the cyber defense ecosystem around a decision layer — a human-AI collaboration space that operates above, across, and around existing data sources, tools, and platforms. On this layer, AI connects the security ecosystem, analyzes structured and unstructured data where it lives with no ETL required, surveys the incessant wave of alerts, and automates investigations and enrichment to deliver relevant, contextualized, and actionable insights. The Human+AI SOC automates triage, enrichment, and investigation across 100% of alerts, eliminating blind spots and accelerating the time to identify, investigate, and respond.

The guiding principle is humans at the helm. Andesite automates the menial work while SOC teams oversee AI-driven workflows, configure their own agents, control investigations and response, validate evidence, and make the critical decisions they are accountable for. Configurable agents can focus on specific use cases — such as phishing or alert triage — or on workflows like hunting for network anomalies, adapting to each customer's ecosystem under human oversight. Andesite developed Evidentiary AI™ so every AI-driven investigation can be traced back to verified sources, keeping outcomes reliable and audit-ready.

PRODUCTS & TOOLS

The Human+AI SOC – Andesite's core platform: a bionic SOC that automates triage, enrichment, and investigation across 100% of alerts while analysts oversee the workflows and own the critical decisions.

Decision Fabric – The centerpiece of Andesite's technology — a flexible, domain-agnostic layer that connects disparate data sources, establishes organizational context, and turns raw telemetry into actionable security insights.

Configurable Agents & Agent Builder – Lets SOC teams build their own AI agents in four steps — name, role, guidance, and scope — focused on specific use cases or workflows and operating under human oversight.

Investigation Workspace – A unified workspace that groups and prioritizes high-volume alerts, adds multiple sources to a single investigation, automates enrichment, and connects workstreams across security platforms and tools.

Evidentiary AI™ – Traces the full evidence trail of every AI-driven investigation back to verified sources, so findings can be documented, reviewed, and audited.

Safe AI Architecture™ – A flexible, secure architecture offering single-tenant SaaS and air-gapped self-managed deployments, end-to-end encryption, and IDP plus CAC / PIV identity security — and Andesite never trains its AI on customer data.
