AI SOC economics / security orchestration
Lower the Costs. Improve the Outcomes.
TandemTrace.ai is a vendor-neutral AI SOC layer that can connect security telemetry and response controls, automate repetitive investigation work, and help organizations operate with a leaner security model.
Keep the endpoint and security products you trust. Let TandemTrace.ai connect the signals, investigate incidents, and coordinate approved responses.
01
The model at a glance
Traditional security packages often combine endpoint protection with premium analytics, hunting, AI, MDR, and response services. TandemTrace.ai separates the control layer from the SOC operations layer.

Vendor-neutral AI SOCTandemTrace.aiTriage · correlate · investigate · hunt · respond · document · escalate
Take in alerts and telemetry from connected systems.
Collect evidence and correlate activity across tools.
Build context, estimate risk, and select an approved path.
Recommend or execute permitted actions, then document or escalate.
03
Example: phishing across multiple tools
A suspicious email can require evidence from several systems. TandemTrace.ai can coordinate the investigation when the necessary integrations and permissions are available.
EMAILAnalyze sender, links, attachments, recipients, and message delivery.
IDENTITYReview sign-ins, MFA activity, sessions, and privilege changes.
ENDPOINTInspect processes, files, persistence, and network activity.
SIEM + CLOUDSearch for related users, devices, indicators, and cloud events.
RESPONSERemove messages, block indicators, revoke sessions, or isolate devices.
OVERSIGHTRequire approval or escalate when policy, risk, or confidence demands it.
04
Illustrative combined economics
The annual examples below use the same assumptions throughout: $200 per endpoint plus five salaries at $50,000 for the traditional model, compared with $100 per endpoint plus two salaries at $50,000 for the TandemTrace model. They exclude benefits, taxes, management, implementation, infrastructure, and other operating costs.
