In their own words
Cydarm
Cydarm is a cyber incident response management platform for security operations teams. It combines case management, data enrichment, editable playbooks, reporting, collaboration, and response-time SLAs. Teams can assign tasks using an open-source playbook format, while attribute-based access controls restrict visibility from whole cases down to individual comments or data types. Listed integrations include OpenAPI, email polling, webhooks, Jira, ServiceNow, Teams, PagerDuty, Slack, and SMS. Cydarm is offered as a hosted managed service or an enterprise deployment on a customer’s infrastructure, with web, API, and self-hosted platforms. It supports SSO through Microsoft Entra ID, Okta, Google, and AWS, with no SSO fee. Cydarm Technologies states it meets ISO 27001:2022 requirements and has achieved certification. Security information describes disk encryption, TLS 1.2 or higher, dedicated hosted infrastructure, and network segmentation. Pricing is on request; a 30-day trial costs nothing and needs no credit card.
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.
