AI-native SIEM replacement
Trace8 runs a full investigation on every alert — eight specialized agents, one of which exists only to prove the others wrong. Your queue doesn’t get prioritized. It gets closed.
No agent pool. No “we’ll get back to you.” A working pipeline against your own data.
The thesis
Three real failures in how legacy SIEMs handle the queue — and the inversion Trace8 runs instead.
Legacy SIEMs rank your alerts and hand you a sorted list of work. The work is still yours.
Most automated triage gives you one model’s opinion and a confidence score. Confidence is not correctness.
Every alert is handled as if it’s the first of its kind.
The mechanism
Eight nodes, left to right. Each one a specialist with a single job in the chain from alert to decision.
First-pass verdict and severity.
Pivots across your logs for corroborating and contradicting evidence.
Adversarially validates the Triage verdict. Tries to break it.
Assembles the case file: known, assumed, missing.
Reaches into endpoint telemetry for host-level confirmation.
Resolves the email vector — sender, payload, delivery path.
Writes the human-readable narrative. Decision, not data dump.
Checks the chain end-to-end before anything reaches you.
Eight agents. One pipeline. The Challenge agent runs on every verdict — adversarial validation is not a premium tier, it’s the architecture.
The differentiator — zero-ingestion federation
Trace8 queries your Sentinel, Splunk, or Elastic on-demand, during a live investigation, using read-only credentials. Raw results live in memory for a single step of the pipeline and are never stored. Only the AI-generated summary persists. Your data stays your data — in your platform, under your retention, inside your boundary.
How federation works →The proof
Graphs over quotes. These metrics are filled with real measurements before launch — we don’t ship invented figures on a security product.
Placeholders shown. Every number here will trace to a real measurement before launch — an invented stat on a security product is a credibility kill.
Access is limited. That’s deliberate.
Trace8 onboards a small number of environments at a time, because a real investigation pipeline has to be tuned against real data.
