PProphet AI

Prophet AI is an agentic SOC analyst that investigates every security alert as it arrives, at every severity, and returns a verdict with the evidence behind it. Prophet Security says it has completed 10 million investigations at 98.5% accuracy and saved more than 2.5 million hours of analyst work. It is best for security teams that want every alert looked at within minutes, with an audit trail strong enough for regulated industries.

Pricing is per investigation with no data-ingest fees, but rates are quoted, so costs rise with alert volume. Setup is quick: Prophet says 30 minutes or less with read-only access to two or three data sources, followed by a free proof of value. This review is based on Prophet Security’s published product information, announcements and public ratings as of October 2026; we have not tested it hands-on.

Detailed Usage and Customer Figures for a Young Vendor

Prophet publishes unusually detailed usage and customer figures for a young company. Each item below was checked on the source page; platform metrics and case study results are company-reported.

The most useful numbers for a buyer are the per-customer ones, because they show volume and speed in real environments. Twenty thousand investigations a year at Zip, or 11,065 in three months at a 60,000-person health provider, is far more alert review than most teams can do by hand. Our own arithmetic on the platform totals works out to about 15 minutes of analyst time saved per investigation on average.

The certifications matter as much as the speed. SOC 2 Type II plus ISO 27001 and ISO 42001, the AI management standard, give security and procurement teams documents to check rather than promises. Strategic backing from Amex Ventures and Citi Ventures, the venture arms of two large financial institutions, is also relevant for financial services buyers.

Reading Alerts Where Your Security Tools Already Keep Them

Prophet AI sits on top of your existing security tools rather than replacing them. It reads alerts and data where they already live, so there is no need to move logs into a new data store.

Investigating an Alert

1. An alert arrives. Prophet picks it up the moment it fires, at any severity, and investigates alerts in parallel so none wait in a queue.
2. It plans the investigation. Each investigation is planned dynamically, with a median of 35 questions across connected SIEM, EDR, identity, email and cloud tools.
3. It reaches a verdict. The output is benign, malicious or inconclusive, with severity, remediation steps and a compiled timeline. When evidence is insufficient, it returns inconclusive rather than guessing.
4. Everything is recorded. Every question, query and piece of evidence is kept in an immutable audit trail, and analysts can expand any conclusion to see the exact query.
5. Results reach your team. Findings go to Jira, Slack or Microsoft Teams, and approved response actions run after a preview.

Threat Hunting and Detection Engineering

The AI Threat Hunter lets analysts hunt across data with natural-language questions, schedule recurring hunts and use a template library. The AI Detection Engineer maps MITRE ATT&CK coverage from past investigations, drafts and backtests new detections, and tunes existing rules in Splunk, Sumo Logic and Microsoft Sentinel. It also flags the noisiest alerts, which matters when pricing is per investigation.

Teaching It Your Environment

Teams teach playbooks, policies and preferences in plain language instead of building predefined playbooks. Each change is previewed and backtested against the customer’s own history before it applies, and each lesson can carry a scope and expiration date.

Watchtower Human Review

Watchtower is an optional 24x7x365 service in which Prophet’s human experts review every malicious and inconclusive verdict, engage within 30 minutes and either advise on or execute containment, as the customer chooses. It suits teams without round-the-clock analysts.

Read-Only SIEM, EDR and Identity Feeds First

A typical rollout follows the proof of value. Teams connect two or three read-only data sources, often the SIEM, EDR and identity provider, and let Prophet investigate live alerts alongside their analysts. During that period they compare verdicts, teach the system local context such as approved admin tools or travel patterns, and watch how often it returns inconclusive. Once the verdicts match the team’s judgment, they add more integrations, route results into Jira or Slack, and approve a first set of low-risk response actions such as notifications before moving to containment steps like host quarantine.

Only Customer-Approved Response Actions

Prophet AI investigates on its own from the first day, but it takes only response actions the customer has approved. Those actions are scoped and permissioned, from a notification to quarantining a machine, and actions that change access or contain a host can require human approval by default. Customers widen autonomy as the track record justifies it.

Per-Investigation Pricing With Rates by Quote

Prophet publishes its pricing model but not its rates.

Bring Your Alert Volume to the Quote

Because pricing follows investigations, your alert volume is the number to bring to the quote. Prophet’s published case studies give a sense of scale.

Mid-size company. Zip ran 20,182 investigations in 12 months, about 1,682 a month. A company with similar volume would be quoted on roughly that many investigations.

Large healthcare organization. A national health provider with 60,000 employees ran 11,065 investigations in three months, about 3,688 a month, or roughly 44,000 a year at that pace. That is more than double Zip’s annual volume, and the bill would scale with it.

Hidden and variable costs. Noisy detection rules inflate investigation counts, so use the Detection Engineer to tune them. Watchtower is extra if you need round-the-clock human review. There are no data-ingest fees, which removes a cost that catches out buyers of SIEM-based tools.

Prophet AI Compared With Dropzone AI, Torq Socrates and Microsoft Security Copilot

These are the closest alternatives on our site. All four take alert work off analysts; they differ on response automation, pricing model and how tied they are to one vendor.

Prophet AI and Dropzone AI are the most direct rivals: both investigate every alert without hand-built playbooks and show their work. Prophet documents more compliance certifications and a 30-minute setup. Torq Socrates goes further into automated containment but asks for more setup. Microsoft Security Copilot makes most sense for Microsoft-centric stacks, and Falcon customers should also look at CrowdStrike Charlotte AI. See more on our cybersecurity agents page.

Lean Security Teams With Alert Backlogs

• Lean security teams with alert backlogs: every alert is investigated in minutes, including low-severity ones that usually get skipped.
• Regulated industries: SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, ISO 42001 and HIPAA assessments suit financial services and healthcare; see our enterprise agents page.
• Teams with mixed security tools: more than 200 integrations cover the major SIEM, EDR, identity and email vendors.
• Companies without 24×7 analysts: Watchtower adds round-the-clock human review of serious verdicts.
• Buyers who want to try before signing: the free proof of value runs on your own alerts after a short setup.

Teams Wanting Fully Autonomous Response Immediately

• Teams that want fully autonomous response on day one: Prophet expands actions gradually as trust builds; Torq Socrates is built around automated containment.
• Buyers who need a fixed published price: rates are quoted per investigation.
• Organizations with very noisy detections and no time to tune: per-investigation pricing means noisy rules add cost, so tuning helps.
• Microsoft-only security stacks: Security Copilot may already be included in your licenses.

Costs That Grow With Investigations

• Volume-based cost: the bill grows with investigations, so forecast your alert volume before signing and tune noisy rules.
• Company-reported metrics: the 98.5% accuracy, 10 million investigations and case study results come from Prophet, and the 90% and 96% reductions appeared in sponsored content.
• Alert dependence: Prophet investigates what your tools detect; one reviewer noted it does not find new threats outside those alerts, though the Threat Hunter covers some of that ground.
• Small review base: nine Gartner Peer Insights ratings are encouraging, and more reviews will help buyers as the base grows.
• Customization requests: a reviewer asked for more control over verdict labels and per-integration settings, which Prophet could add.
• Human coverage costs extra: Watchtower review of malicious and inconclusive verdicts is an add-on, so teams without night and weekend analysts should price it into the comparison with managed detection services.
• Inconclusive verdicts need owners: returning inconclusive instead of guessing is safer, but someone must pick those cases up quickly, so set a clear handoff in your runbook.

Amex Ventures Leads a Strategic Investment

In February 2026 Prophet Security received strategic investment led by Amex Ventures, with Citi Ventures participating, to scale its agentic AI SOC platform. The amount was not disclosed.

On July 29, 2025, the company raised a $30 million Series A led by Accel, with Bain Capital Ventures participating, and launched its agentic AI SOC platform with the AI SOC Analyst, AI Threat Hunter and AI Detection Advisor.

Auditable Evidence on Every Alert

For security teams that want every alert investigated with evidence they can audit, Prophet AI is one of the most complete options available. It scores 8.8/10 on our scale, the highest marks going to trust and security, setup and integrations. A 30-minute setup, more than 200 integrations, SOC 2 Type II and ISO 42001 certification, and published case studies such as 91.9% of investigations closed without an analyst at one customer make a strong case.

The main areas to plan around are quote-only rates that rise with alert volume and a small number of public reviews. Its per-investigation model is easier to forecast than compute-unit pricing once you know your alert counts, and the absence of data-ingest fees removes a common surprise. Run the free proof of value on a busy alert source, compare its verdicts with your analysts’ calls, and ask for a quote based on your real monthly investigation count before committing.

Setup Time and Response Actions on Prophet

How Is Prophet AI Priced?
