Here is a number worth knowing before RSAC. The average enterprise SOC sees tens of thousands of alerts a day. Most get triaged. A fraction get thoroughly investigated. The rest sit in the queue or get auto-closed.
 
Dropzone AI puts AI SOC agents on every one of those alerts. Every alert investigated, end to end, across your full tool stack, around the clock. Over 300 deployments in production today.
 
They are at RSAC this year. Booth 455. dropzone.ai/rsa-2026-ai-diner
