What AlphaSOC does

AlphaSOC is a privately held, San Francisco-based cybersecurity company founded in 2013 that builds a dedicated threat detection engine operating as a sidecar alongside enterprise SIEM platforms. The platform ingests cloud, application, network, and endpoint telemetry, normalizes all data fields to the Open Cybersecurity Schema Framework (OCSF), enriches events with threat intelligence from 70+ sources and over one million curated indicators, and applies a six-layer detection pipeline — Active Fingerprinting, Reputation Scoring, cross-tenant Prevalence Analysis, Time Series Analysis, Feature Classification, and Threat Intelligence Matching — that runs in parallel to identify anomalies, including patient-zero threats unknown to commercial feeds. AlphaSOC natively reads Sigma YAML rules without platform-specific translation, supports custom array extensions for OCSF schema paths, and ships a managed detection library aligned with MITRE ATT&CK. Its product portfolio spans the AlphaSOC Detection Engine, a web Console, a feature-parity REST API, the AlphaSOC Data Lake for extended retention and retrospective hunting, and Splunk add-ons for network and DNS behavior analytics.

Revenue model

1. Managed Threat Detection Service: AlphaSOC operates as a managed service that processes customer telemetry and delivers refined OCSF findings. Pricing is usage-based tied to event volume or endpoint count rather than raw data ingestion, eliminating the SIEM cost penalty for collecting more telemetry. The service reduces legacy data processing costs by offloading expensive detection tasks from the SIEM to the dedicated engine.
2. Free Evaluation Access: Public AlphaSOC API is provided free of charge for evaluation, with exception of specific pricing conditions for commercial AlphaSOC API and commercial feeds. 30-day unrestricted evaluation period allows users to generate useful alerts within minutes.

Core offering

AlphaSOC operates as a purpose-built threat detection engine that runs as a sidecar alongside SIEM platforms. It ingests cloud, application, network, and endpoint telemetry, normalizes data to the Open Cybersecurity Schema Framework (OCSF), enriches events with managed threat intelligence from 70+ sources (1M+ indicators), and applies six parallel scoring dimensions to produce refined OCSF detection findings. The platform delivers these enriched findings back to existing SIEMs, SOARs, and data lakes via native integrations, with usage-based pricing tied to events or endpoints rather than raw ingestion volume.

Product overview

AlphaSOC is a threat detection platform built around a dedicated detection engine that processes cloud, application, network, and endpoint telemetry. The core platform (AlphaSOC Detection Engine) combines managed threat intelligence (70+ sources, 1M+ indicators), native Sigma rules support, and OCSF normalization in a unified pipeline. The product portfolio includes the AlphaSOC Console (web UI), AlphaSOC REST API (full programmatic access), AlphaSOC Data Lake (extended telemetry retention with retrospective hunting), Network Behavior Analytics for Splunk (Splunk add-on for VPC flow analysis), DNS Analytics for Splunk (DNS detection for Splunk), and AlphaSOC Data Lake for Splunk (beta integration bringing OCSF telemetry into Splunk search pipelines). The platform integrates with major SIEMs (Splunk, Microsoft Sentinel, Google SecOps), SOAR tools (Cortex XSOAR, Splunk SOAR, Tines), data lakes (Databricks, Snowflake, AWS Security Lake), ticketing systems (Jira, ServiceNow, Linear), and AI agents (Claude, Copilot, ChatGPT). Pricing is usage-based without ingestion penalties, enabling organizations to reduce SIEM costs by up to 80%.

Functional benefit

Products and services

• AlphaSOC Detection Engine The core threat detection platform that processes cloud, application, network, and endpoint telemetry through a multi-layered pipeline, runs custom Sigma rules and managed detections, applies six parallel scoring dimensions, normalizes data to OCSF, and delivers enriched OCSF findings to downstream SIEM and SOAR platforms. For enterprise security teams, SOC analysts, threat hunters, and detection engineers.
• Managed Threat Intelligence Aggregated threat intelligence corpus combining indicators from 70+ sources, including threat feeds, commercial partners, and AlphaSOC's own network scanning infrastructure. Maintains over 1 million live curated indicators correlated against customer telemetry in real time.
• AlphaSOC Data Lake OCSF-normalized telemetry lake that stores logs for months or years beyond typical SIEM retention, enabling retrospective investigation and hunting. Includes AlphaSOC Data Lake for Splunk (beta) integrating directly into Splunk search pipelines using SPL syntax.
• Network Behavior Analytics for Splunk Splunk add-on that gathers network behavior data (including TCP flags from AWS VPC flow logs) indexed in Splunk and forwards to AlphaSOC for enhanced connection state and direction analysis, reducing false positives.
• DNS Analytics for Splunk
