Hans Gustavson, Workato, CISO
AirMDR has scaled seamlessly with us through acquisitions and architectural changes, without missing a single alert. Their intelligent triage cuts through the noise – my team only sees what actually matters, which has been critical for our lean security operations. They've kept us audit-ready across every compliance framework while adapting to our shifting tech stack faster than most vendors can complete onboarding.
Shawn Fang, Splashtop, SVP Product Management
AirMDR is amazing, in about a week they had recreated all of the alerts my team had created over almost 9 years. Their ability to dig through logs and identify what is important shows how automation and AI can be a game changer for us in security operations, monitoring, and threat hunting.
