  • Offense-informed defense
  • Bring your own stack
  • Human approval on every action
Executive summary

The short version

Choose Secure.com's SOC Teammate if you want offense to shape what the SOC works first, and the root cause fixed and retested, not only the alert closed.

Key finding

D3 Morpheus is an accountable agentic SOC platform. It triages, investigates, and responds across the full alert lifecycle, with four autonomy modes, per-action approval gates, one traceable record per incident, and 800+ self-healing integrations. Secure.com's SOC Teammate shares that governed approach inside a team. The Red Teammate proves what is exploitable, and the Cloud and AppSec Teammates fix the root cause and retest, every consequential action under your approval. In Secure.com's buyer research, grunt work surfaced in 10 of 14 interviews.

Your team sets the rules. The Teammate works inside them.

Why the category falls short

Why an accountable SOC isn't the whole loop

Governed, explainable response on every alert is a genuine advantage, and D3 delivers it. But closing an alert well is not the same as hardening the environment behind it. The gaps show up fast.

  • Defense without offense.

    Investigation traces an attack after an alert fires. Validated attack paths show what is exploitable before it does.

  • Closed alerts, not hardened systems.

    Response contains the threat. Fixing the misconfiguration or flaw that let it in is a separate job.

  • Proof the fix held.

    A traceable record shows what happened. A retest shows the risk is actually gone.

  • One function, not the lifecycle.

    An AI SOC owns the alert queue. Offense, cloud, and application security still need their own coverage.

AI Teammates attack your defenses, harden what they find, and hand your team back hundreds of hours every month.

The difference in practice

What gaps Secure.com fills

  1. Offense-informed defense

    The Red Teammate's validated attack paths shape what the SOC works first. D3's Attack Path Discovery traces an alert after it fires.

  2. Root cause, not only the alert

    The Cloud and AppSec Teammates fix the flaw behind an alert under approval. Morpheus focuses on SOC response across your tools.

  3. Retest and proof of the fix

    The platform retests after remediation and keeps before and after evidence. Morpheus keeps one traceable record per incident.

  4. One team across the lifecycle

    The SOC, Red, AppSec, and Cloud Teammates share one live context. Morpheus is a dedicated AI SOC platform.

  5. Expert help to first value

    Expert Activation or a fully managed option, with a guaranteed time to value. D3 offers a free migration program from legacy SOAR.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Secure.com's SOC Teammate act without human approval?
No. Every consequential action passes an approval gate configured by your team before it runs. Lower risk work proceeds within the policy you set. Nothing executes on the Teammate's judgment alone, and every action is logged.
How is this different from an accountable agentic SOC?
An accountable agentic SOC investigates and responds under approval gates, with a traceable record of every step. The SOC Teammate does that inside a team: offense from the Red Teammate shapes what it works first, and the Cloud and AppSec Teammates fix the root cause and retest, under the rules you set.
Do we have to replace our current SOC tools?
No. Secure.com sits above your existing stack through 200+ integrations across SIEM, EDR, IAM, cloud, and ticketing. You start with one Teammate on the tools you already run.
