Conifers.ai Pitches AI-Powered SOC to MSSPs
Startup Targets SOC Overload with Agentic AI
Conifers.ai, a new player in the cybersecurity space, is betting on agentic artificial intelligence to redefine how Security Operations Centers (SOCs) run. Emerging from stealth this year, the company has developed an AI-powered, cloud-native SOC platform explicitly designed for managed security service providers (MSSPs). The goal: reduce alert fatigue, automate repetitive workflows, and shift security teams toward more strategic, proactive threat mitigation. Its platform uses AI agents to independently investigate, respond to, and document incidents, integrating with existing tools like Splunk, QRadar, and Microsoft Defender. With cybersecurity talent shortages and growing threat volumes, Conifers.ai seeks to offer a compelling alternative for MSSPs looking to scale response operations.
Backed by Experts, Built for Complexity
Founded by cybersecurity veterans from CrowdStrike and Google Chronicle, Conifers.ai is designed from the ground up to support hybrid and multi-cloud environments. The platform doesn’t just flag threats—it acts on them, using decision logs to ensure transparency and SOC2-compliant documentation for every action taken. Crucially, the company emphasizes compatibility with current MSSP workflows, promising rapid deployment without the need for overhauls. Conifers.ai is currently running pilots with an undisclosed set of mid-market MSSPs and expects general availability by the end of the year. With the agentic approach gaining traction across enterprise software, Conifers.ai joins a wave of startups pursuing AI autonomy in cybersecurity operations.
