| Analysis | DRONE automatically analyzes forensic evidence using built-in analyzers and detections. | Grail reconstructs attacker timelines from process, network, registry, and filesystem events, and maps suspicious binary behavior to MITRE ATT&CK. |
| Evidence integrity | Binalyze says AIR uses SHA-256 hashing and RFC3161 digital timestamp certificates to support chain of custody. | Grail says each report claim references its source artifact, line, and SHA-256 hash, and that unverifiable claims are dropped. |
| Headquarters | Tallinn, Estonia | Dallas, Texas, United States |
| Integrations | AIR connects to SIEM, EDR, XDR, and SOAR platforms using built-in integrations, APIs, and custom webhooks to trigger evidence collection when alerts fire. | The site lists Sentinel, Splunk, CrowdStrike, SentinelOne, and Elastic for alert intake, plus Jira, ServiceNow, carrier claims APIs, and custom webhooks for case output. |
| What it does | AIR combines security signals with forensic evidence and AI-driven analysis to help SOC teams investigate risk and make decisions. | Grail is an autonomous incident response pipeline whose six AI agents handle intake, evidence collection, analysis, validation, and reporting. |

Grail
Grail is a cloud incident-response pipeline from Grail Forensics, Inc. Six AI agents handle intake, endpoint evidence collection, analysis, validation, and reporting. The workflow uses Velociraptor on demand, reconstructs timelines from process, network, registry, and filesystem events, and maps suspicious behavior to MITRE ATT&CK. A validation agent checks findings against raw evidence and rejects claims not anchored to hashed artifacts. Reports contain an executive summary, technical appendix, and evidence index, with claims linked to source artifacts, lines, and SHA-256 hashes and chain of custody sealed end to end. Grail lists alert intake from Sentinel, Splunk, CrowdStrike, SentinelOne, and Elastic, with outputs to Jira, ServiceNow, carrier claims APIs, and custom webhooks. Evidence is tenant-isolated, encrypted with a customer-held KMS key, purged after delivery, and not used to train models. Pricing is capped per case and available on request.
