Last reviewed: September 2026

  • 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 AI that owns the security work, with offense shaping priorities and every fix retested to prove it held.

Key finding

Swimlane is an agentic AI automation platform for every security function, built on Turbine and used by enterprises and MSSPs. Its AI SOC uses Hero AI agents and intelligent routing to send each alert to deterministic automation, AI-assisted investigation, or a full agentic investigation, and its agent builder lets teams drop agents into playbooks. Secure.com's SOC Teammate owns the security work 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.

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

Who each option is for

Choose Secure.com if

  • You want AI Teammates that own the security work, not agents your team assembles and tunes.
  • You want offense from a Red Teammate to shape what the SOC works first.
  • You want the root cause fixed and retested by the Cloud and AppSec Teammates, not only the alert closed.

Choose Swimlane if

  • You want a low-code agentic automation platform for every security function, not only the SOC.
  • You want intelligent routing that sends each alert to automation, AI assistance, or a full agentic investigation.
  • You run an MSSP, or want Hero AI agents you can build and drop into your own playbooks.
Why the category falls short

Why routing alerts isn't the whole loop

Sending each alert to the right level of AI is a genuine advantage, and Swimlane delivers it. But routing the work well is not the same as owning the outcome or hardening the environment behind it. The gaps show up fast.

  • Defense without offense.

    Routing starts from inbound alerts, with no validated attack-path findings showing what is exploitable first.

  • Agents to assemble.

    Agent builders and playbooks give teams powerful parts. Designing, wiring, and tuning them stays with your team.

  • Closed alerts, not hardened systems.

    Response contains the threat. Fixing the flaw that let it in, and proving the fix held, is a separate job.

  • One platform, not one team.

    Automation can span many security functions. Offense, the SOC, and hardening working on one shared context is a different design.

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. Swimlane has no offense-side product.

  2. AI that owns the work

    The SOC Teammate owns a function; you approve, it acts. Swimlane gives teams agents and playbooks to assemble and tune.

  3. Root cause, not only the alert

    The Cloud and AppSec Teammates fix the flaw behind an alert under approval. Swimlane orchestrates response and remediation through your tools.

  4. Retest and proof of the fix

    The platform retests after remediation and keeps before and after evidence. Swimlane routes and resolves alerts across levels of AI.

  5. One team across the lifecycle

    The SOC, Red, AppSec, and Cloud Teammates share one live context. Swimlane is an automation platform for many security functions.

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 agentic automation platform?
An agentic automation platform routes alerts to the right level of AI and lets your team build agents into playbooks. The SOC Teammate owns the security work inside a team: offense 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.
