What ZonForge Sentinel does
ZonForge Sentinel is an AI-native security operations platform. Its central component is an AI security analyst that autonomously performs Tier 1–2 alert investigation: it ingests security logs and alerts from cloud, identity, and SaaS sources, gathers the context a human analyst would gather (identity, asset, history, related events), decides whether each alert is benign or a real threat, documents its reasoning, and triggers response playbooks for confirmed threats. Human analysts review escalations rather than raw alert queues.
What it does not do (limitations)
- SaaS only — no on-premises or air-gapped deployment option.
- Not an endpoint agent/EDR — it monitors endpoints and workloads through integrations (e.g., cloud provider logs, EDR tools) rather than shipping its own agent.
- Automates Tier 1–2 investigation, not security leadership — strategic decisions, complex incident response, and remediation approvals remain human work.
- Young vendor (founded 2024) — smaller ecosystem and analyst-firm coverage than incumbents like Splunk or Microsoft.
