SOC Prime

SOC Prime operates as a B2B provider in the cybersecurity sector, specifically focusing on a collaborative cyber defense model. Founded in 2015 by Ukrainian security practitioners Andrii Bezverkhyi, Ruslan Mikhalov, and Oleksandr Bredikhin, the company emerged from their extensive experience in security operations and a desire to create a more efficient way to handle threat detection. CEO Andrii Bezverkhyi's background includes roles in business development and as a CTO, experiences which informed the company's strategic direction and emphasis on automating and optimizing security information and event management (SIEM) processes.

The company's core offering is its Detection as Code platform, which functions as a marketplace for threat detection content. This platform facilitates a global community of over 600 researchers who create, share, and monetize detection algorithms. The business model is subscription-based, offering flexible plans for access to its continuously updated library of over 200,000 detection algorithms. These algorithms are primarily written in Sigma, a generic and open signature format, and are aligned with the MITRE ATT&CK® framework, a globally accessible knowledge base of adversary tactics and techniques. This allows clients to translate and deploy detection rules across more than 25 different SIEM, EDR, and XDR platforms, such as Microsoft Sentinel, Splunk, and IBM QRadar.

SOC Prime serves a diverse client base, including enterprises, governments, Managed Security Service Providers (MSSPs), and Managed Detection and Response (MDR) providers. The platform helps these organizations improve their threat coverage, reduce the time spent on developing custom detection rules, and enhance the value of their existing security tools. Key products include the Threat Detection Marketplace, Uncoder AI for detection engineering, and Attack Detective for mapping attack surface visibility. By providing a centralized and curated source of detection logic, SOC Prime enables security teams to proactively hunt for threats and defend against attacks more rapidly. The company secured $11.5 million in a Series A funding round in October 2021, led by DNX Ventures, to fuel its global expansion.
