AiStrike SOC Automation: The Evolution of Service-as-Software

Kayzad Vanskuiwalla
Co-founder & CPO, AiStrike
The Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) model has dominated the cybersecurity industry for years, offering cloud-based platforms that provide security solutions as a service. Today, with the power of AI, this landscape is evolving. A new paradigm has emerged—Service-as-Software (SaaS 2.0). This shift is transforming how organizations think about security operations, automation, and scalability.

At AiStrike, we’re at the forefront of this transformation, where AI-driven automation moves security beyond traditional SaaS boundaries, turning security operations into a smarter, scalable, and automated service.

What is Service-as-Software?

Unlike traditional SaaS, which provides software tools that require manual operation and configuration, Service-as-Software encapsulates expertise, decision-making, and automation into AI-driven systems. Instead of just offering a platform to security teams, Service-as-Software delivers autonomous, intelligent workflows that handle tasks with minimal human intervention.

In cybersecurity operations, this means:

  • Automated Threat Investigation & Response: AI-driven agents analyze, investigate, and automate response to threats without requiring manual triage.
  • AI-Powered Behavioral Analytics: Machine learning identifies patterns of normal behavior and correlates them with real-time security context, leveraging Agentic AI.
  • Scalable Security Operations: Organizations can scale security operations without increasing headcount by offloading repetitive tasks to AI-powered workflows.
  • Automated Emerging Threat Analysis: LLM-powered AI models enable organizations to automate the assessment of emerging threats and their potential impact.

Why is This Shift Necessary?

1. Security Operations Teams Are Overwhelmed

SOC teams face an ever-growing flood of alerts. Traditional SaaS tools provide visibility, but they still require human analysts to analyze, prioritize, and respond—a process that doesn’t scale efficiently. Service-as-Software flips this model by embedding intelligence into automated security workflows.

2. AI & Automation Are Becoming Essential

With AI advancements, real-time decision-making and autonomous response are no longer futuristic concepts. AI-powered security agents can detect, investigate, and respond to threats faster than human analysts, reducing dwell time and improving consistency in threat response.

3. Organizations Demand Faster ROI

Traditional security tools require long deployment cycles, integration efforts, and ongoing tuning. Service-as-Software reduces this friction by delivering pre-configured AI workflows that provide instant value and shorten time-to-action.

4. Cross-Functional Collaboration is Key

Modern SOCs must collaborate across Cloud, DevOps, IAM, IT, and network security teams. AI-driven workflows enhance cross-functional collaboration and visibility, ensuring executive stakeholders stay informed.

How AiStrike Enables Service-as-Software

At AiStrike, we’ve built a platform that leverages Agentic AI frameworks to transform security operations by:

  • Clustering Alerts with Our Proprietary Machine Learning Algorithms: Instead of manually investigating each alert, AiStrike’s AI agents enrich alerts with environmental context, linking related alerts to identify root causes. This approach drastically reduces Mean Time to Respond (MTTR).
  • Automating High-Fidelity Investigations: AiStrike’s AI-powered investigation engine triages, analyzes, and correlates alerts to assess the probability of exploit and the potential impact. These metrics enable risk-based prioritization to ensure security teams focus on the most critical threats first.
  • Providing AI-Driven Response Automation: Our intelligent automation framework initiates collaboration workflows, notifying and engaging relevant stakeholders with a human-in-the-loop approach. AiStrike’s workflow automation bridges the last mile of security operations and response, reducing operational friction.    
  • Seamlessly Integrating with Existing Security Stacks: AiStrike doesn’t aim to replace your security tools—it enhances them with automation, AI-guided investigations, and contextualized response actions. This allows organizations to maximize ROI from their existing security infrastructure without adding complexity.

The Future: Security Operations Without Limits

The transition from Software-as-a-Service to Service-as-Software represents the next stage in AI-driven cybersecurity operations. Instead of relying on human-intensive workflows, organizations can leverage AI-powered security operations that work autonomously, at scale.

With decades of experience in security operations, AiStrike's seasoned threat detection engineers and hunters continuously refine our AI models, delivering a robust suite of AI-driven agents that help organizations stay ahead of emerging threats.

Security operations aren’t just a tool—they are a scalable, AI-powered service that evolves with your business.

Investigating millions of CSPM alerts — where do you even start?

I got this question last week from one of the largest financial institutions: “When you’re looking at millions of CSPM alerts, do you actually investigate them or just treat them as hygiene issues and assign them to the cloud team?” Honestly, it’s a fair question—and one a lot of teams are probably asking themselves.
