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
"No other technology has the ability to unlock an improvement in detection and response speed like Dropzone AI."
Andrew Marsh
Director, Information Security, Indiana Farm Bureau Insurance
"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"
Kevin Turnbull
Assala Energy, Global IT Director
"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."
