AVA brings the discipline of a senior analyst to every alert. Hypothesis-driven triage, tested against your environment, ending in a verdict your team can defend — true positive, false positive, or a precise specification of what evidence is still missing. Forensic-grade. Audit-ready. Defensible by construction.
The SOC market has spent a decade arguing about detection sensitivity and automation throughput. AVA is in a third category — the one most products skip — where evidence is gathered, hypotheses are tested, and a verdict gets made.
SIEM and XDR rules surface events. Volume is the metric. False-positive density is the consequence. The decision is still pending.
SOAR runs the steps an analyst already wrote. Speed is the metric. Coverage is bounded by the playbook library. Judgment is still pending.
AVA gathers evidence, tests hypotheses against your environment, and returns a verdict your team can defend. Discipline is the metric. The decision arrives with the alert.
Where AVA livesHypothesis-driven, evidence-bound, defensible by construction. Four capabilities define the Investigation Discipline. None of them is the one your team would have skipped.
Every alert enters investigation with multiple competing Investigation Hypotheses — malicious and benign — drawn from MITRE ATT&CK and the alert's own context. AVA tests them. The one supported by evidence becomes the verdict.
Hypotheses are evaluated against the user, the asset, the historical baseline, and the operational context — not in the abstract. Two identical alerts on two different assets produce two different investigations.
Every claim in the verdict resolves to a query, a log, a process tree, or an identity event — captured, citable, and timestamped. Cross-source corroboration is built in: EDR and SIEM independently confirm the same event. The Investigation Report is the artifact an examiner can walk through line by line.
When AVA can't conclude, it says so — and specifies exactly what evidence is missing. INCONCLUSIVE is a feature, not a fallback. Every investigation compounds: outcomes route into the priors, future investigations get sharper.
When AVA can't conclude,
AVA shows what's missing.
This is not the absence of evidence. It is the audit-grade declaration of it.
The Investigation Report is not a paragraph.
It's a record.
Read it the way an examiner would — the verdict, the evidence beneath it, the reasoning that connects them, the gaps that bound it, the actions it recommends.
One artifact. Three readings. The shape of a defensible decision.
Alert raised by Microsoft Defender for Endpoint · sev. medium · MITRE ATT&CK T1003.001 (LSASS Memory).
Credential-dumping attempt against LSASS via comsvcs.dll MiniDump, executed under elevated PowerShell on host NW-FIN-W11-204.
Sanctioned IR or red-team exercise; or an EDR self-test triggering identical signatures.
Process tree, parent-child lineage, and command-line entropy on host NW-FIN-W11-204 match the malicious scenario. No sanctioned IR engagement or red-team window covers this activity. Identity context shows the user signed in from an unusual ASN seventeen minutes prior. Evidence is sufficient to conclude.
Isolate NW-FIN-W11-204 at the network layer; force credential reset for the affected identity; preserve LSASS dump artifact for forensics. Confidence sufficient for automatic action with analyst sign-off.
In-house SOC and managed service provider operate against different economics, different audit pressures, and different definitions of done. AVA's operating posture changes with them; the Investigation Discipline does not.
AVA closes L1 with an evidence-backed Investigation Report your senior analysts can defend in the next audit, the next board review, and the next post-incident write-up. Every verdict carries its evidence chain.
Native connectors into your existing Defender, CrowdStrike, Sentinel, or QRadar stack. No rip-and-replace. No new SIEM.
One Investigation Discipline across every tenant. Per-tenant context, per-tenant evidence, per-tenant Investigation Report — without rebuilding the playbook library each time you onboard.
Multi-tenant by construction. Cloud, on-prem, or private — sovereignty is a constraint, not a compromise.
Each new tenant onboards with their existing stack — not yours. Every new SIEM, EDR, or XDR is a single integration class away. No rebuild. No mapping spreadsheet.
The verdict is one artifact. The Co-Pilot is the next — an interactive surface where AVA continues, and the analyst directs. Detection engineering, root cause work, plain-English investigation across the stack — autonomous when configured, hand-off when judgment must be human.
Beyond it, AVA continues — drafting the next detection, opening the next investigation thread, pivoting across the endpoint in plain English, composing the next containment.
How far AVA goes is a setting, not a guess.
Run autonomous, with every step on the record.
Hand the keys to the analyst, when judgment must be human.
The Co-Pilot is the seam between the two — conversational, tool-aware, and always auditable.
Detection engineering, not as a separate team — as the verdict's natural conclusion.
Three filters define an AVA customer. The role you play in the SOC. The audit weight your industry carries. The shape your deployment must take. None of them is the one we ranked first.
If you operate a Security Operations Center — or pay for one — AVA fits. The methodology is sector-agnostic. What changes by sector is the regulatory weight and the type of evidence required.
Different regulators, same core question — can you defend this verdict in front of an examiner? AVA's evidence chain and audit trail are built for that moment by construction.
Cloud, on-prem, or private — sovereignty is a constraint, not a compromise. The methodology doesn't change with the deployment shape. The audit trail still resolves. The verdict is still defensible.
We don't quote inflated MTTR reductions as marketing figures. The numbers below describe AVA's <em>structural commitments</em>, observed pilot outcomes, and published industry baselines — labelled accordingly. Where a number is modelled, the model is named.
AVA reads from the systems your analysts already trust. No rip-and-replace, no new SIEM, no parallel pipeline. Every report carries an evidence trail back to the source.
Every alert investigated, every investigation compounding. Send us one sanitised alert; we send back a full Investigation Report in 48 hours — verdict, evidence chain, audit trail, the report your team would defend.
