Security teams are being sold AI to solve a problem they already have — too many alerts and too few analysts — and the tools genuinely help. Microsoft Security Copilot, Charlotte AI and Purple AI triage and summarise at a speed no team matches, and Tines and Torq automate the response that follows.
The dependency is the playbook. Automating a response assumes there is an agreed response to automate; where each analyst handles an alert their own way, automation encodes whichever way happened to be written down that week. Detection tools have the parallel dependency on log coverage: a model reasoning over partial telemetry reports a quiet network rather than a blind spot.
People carries real weight here for a reason particular to security. An analyst who accepts an AI verdict without being able to challenge it has not saved time, they have moved the risk — and in this field that is the whole job.
This assessment asks what is true of your processes, your coverage and your team, then names which tools that supports.
Every industry is scored against its own targets. Process carries the most weight here, so a gap there costs more than the same gap would elsewhere.
Your report says which of these to buy now, which to wait on, and which are held back by something you have not fixed yet — and which of the ones you already pay for are underperforming.
