What our customers say

"We've seen a huge reduction in repetitive work. Dropzone has offloaded about 30–50% of our alert volume. That's time we can now spend threat hunting, onboarding customers, or improving coverage."

Chris DeBrunner

Vice President, Security Operations

CBTS

"Dropzone saves you and your team so much time from distracting redundant tasks that add little to no value. It gives you an accurate analysis of data sources that you would never think of looking through. The embedded AI capabilities allow you to solve critical problems that you and your team don't have the bandwidth to solve."

Chris DeBrunner

Vice President, Security Operations

CBTS

"No other technology has the ability to unlock an improvement in detection and response speed like Dropzone AI."

Andrew Marsh

Director, Information Security

"Simply adding more people to the team is not a scalable solution; using augmented AI to enhance your team’s capabilities is the way forward"
