Command Zero · Autonomous & AI-Assisted SOC Platform
Best AI SecOps Platform
Overview
Command Zero is the autonomous and AI-assisted SOC platform built for complex enterprise environments. The platform combines an expert-encoded knowledge base, controlled AI agents, and human-led investigation tools to deliver consistent, auditable analysis at scale. Through a federated data model, Command Zero connects directly to an organization's existing data sources—identity systems, EDR, cloud platforms, SIEM—without data ingestion or migration. Analysts and AI agents work from the same encoded knowledge base, ensuring predictable outcomes across all tiers. AI agents handle high-volume tier-1 tasks and standard investigations, then pass their work—tools, context, and findings—to human analysts for complex cases. The result: faster mean time to understand and respond, with best practices that scale through both AI automation and human expertise.
Key Capabilities
Most AI SOC tools give an answer and hide the reasoning. Command Zero takes a different approach - showing every question the agent asked, every data source queried, and every piece of evidence considered. Command Zero's transparency makes AI trustworthy in security operations and defensible to an organization's leadership.
With Command Zero, AI agents and human analysts work together, with the agent completing its investigation and handing it off with everything intact: full context, all artifacts, complete decision trail. The analyst picks up exactly where the agent left off. No rework. No lost context. Analysts can take over, extend, or redirect any autonomous investigation. Add new questions, pivot to new data sources, or direct the agent to reconsider its verdict based on new evidence. Teams can also collaborate on the same case, sharing notes with each other and with the AI agent.
Key capabilities include:
- Eliminate Noise: Agents triage alerts, apply policy, and only surface the cases that need human attention
- Build on AI's Work: Analysts step into any investigation. Same context, same data, no reset.
- Complete Visibility: Investigate across endpoint, identity, cloud, email, SaaS and custom data sources.
- Scale Without Headcount: Handle high alert volumes and complex threat hunts without extra overhead.
With Command Zero, alert to resolution is completed in three steps:
- Connect in minutes: Link an organization's existing stack via read-only APIs. No data migration. No ingestion pipeline. No reconfiguration of tools. Endpoint, identity, cloud, email, SaaS, SIEM, all available for questions. Most environments go live in under an hour.
- Questions lead to answers: Every investigation, autonomous or analyst-led, draws on an encoded knowledge base of high-impact questions built by Command Zero's research team. Security teams can add their own questions, import detection logic, and build custom flows, and gain expert-level analysis on day one.
- Augment SOC capabilities: Autonomous, AI-assisted, or both are available. AI agents investigate, document every step, and deliver verdicts with supporting evidence. Analysts review and not just rebuild. For escalated cases, analysts work alongside agents with full data access.
With its commitment to innovation, Command Zero recently released Custom Questions, enabling security teams to codify expert investigative knowledge while unlocking support for unlimited custom data sources. These questions can be shared across the community via a dedicated GitHub repository, supporting collective knowledge sharing.
Custom Questions empowers users to create custom queries against centralized data repositories such as Microsoft Sentinel, Microsoft Defender XDR Advanced Hunting data sources, Splunk, other SIEMs and data lakes. This feature delivers the ability to define custom schemas for lead extraction and incorporate organization-specific investigative methodologies.
Custom Questions includes MITRE ATT&CK framework mapping, schema validation, and seamless integration with Command Zero's existing investigation workflows and automated reporting capabilities. Questions can be used in autonomous investigations, AI-assisted investigations and the platform's faceting system for enhanced threat hunting operations.
Custom Questions enables sophisticated SOC teams at large and very large enterprises to customize investigation knowledge base.
How we are different
Questions are the logical building blocks for autonomous and AI-assisted flows on Command Zero. The ability to build custom questions addresses a critical challenge: the inability to systematically capture and scale expert analyst knowledge while maintaining comprehensive visibility across diverse enterprise data sources.
Custom Questions represents a fundamental shift in how organizations can leverage their collective intelligence for cyber investigations. By enabling teams to encode their best analysts' knowledge into repeatable, automated investigative sequences and unlocking unlimited data source integrations, Command Zero is solving notable bottlenecks in security operations simultaneously.
Custom Questions supports both hunting questions for broad threat discovery and lead-based questions for pointed investigations. These questions become part of the knowledge base powering Command Zero's automated investigation workflows, faceting capabilities, and rules engine. The feature includes expert mode for advanced users who need granular control over time ranges and query logic.
