Capabilities

Automate the work, keep the control

Vigilant handles the repetitive, time-consuming analyst work that lets real threats slip through the cracks.

Automated Triage

Instantly categorize and prioritize alerts based on severity, operational context, and threat intelligence — eliminating the noise before it reaches your team.

Rapid Containment

Execute containment actions in seconds, not hours. Isolate affected systems, block lateral movement, and initiate response procedures automatically.

Reduced False Positives

Context-aware analysis reduces false positives by up to 90%, so your team only focuses on real threats that require human attention.

Continuous Learning

The system learns from every incident, improving detection accuracy and response effectiveness over time. The more it runs, the smarter it gets.

OT-Aware Playbooks

Pre-built response playbooks designed for OT environments that respect operational constraints — no accidental shutdowns, no disrupted processes.

Real-Time Alerting

Multi-channel alerting to the right people at the right time. Escalation paths that match your organizational structure and response procedures.

The Problem

Alert fatigue is a security risk

OT security teams are overwhelmed. Traditional SOCs generate thousands of alerts daily, but analysts can only investigate a fraction. Critical threats get lost in the noise — and by the time they're discovered, damage is already done.

The Reality

  • Too many alerts, too few analysts
  • Manual investigation is slow and error-prone
  • Response times measured in hours, not seconds
  • Critical threats slip through the cracks

Use Cases

Built for real-world OT threats

Unauthorized Access Blocking

Detect and automatically block unauthorized access attempts, whether from external attackers or compromised internal accounts, before they reach critical systems.

Anomaly Response

Automatically respond to anomalous behavior patterns — unusual network traffic, unexpected configuration changes, or unauthorized protocol usage.

Compliance Violation Response

Detect and remediate compliance violations in real time, ensuring your OT environment maintains required security standards without manual intervention.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Vigilant?

Vigilant is Soterics' automated incident response platform. It automates Level 1 analyst work — triaging alerts, containing threats, and executing response playbooks — so your team can focus on complex threats and strategic initiatives.

How does Vigilant handle OT-specific constraints?

Vigilant's response playbooks are purpose-built for OT environments. They understand that you can't just shut down a production line. Response actions are designed to contain threats while maintaining operational availability wherever possible.

What happens when Vigilant detects a threat?

Vigilant follows a structured response: it triages the alert, assesses severity and operational impact, executes the appropriate containment playbook, alerts the right team members, and provides full incident documentation — all within seconds.

Does Vigilant replace our security team?

No. Vigilant handles the repetitive, time-consuming Level 1 work that overwhelms analysts. It frees your team to focus on complex investigations, threat hunting, and strategic improvements. Think of it as a force multiplier, not a replacement.

How does Vigilant work with Vanguard?

Vanguard provides the visibility and risk context, Vigilant acts on it. Together they form a closed loop: Vanguard identifies the risk, Vigilant neutralizes the threat — proactive defense meets automated response.

Can Vigilant integrate with our existing SIEM?

Yes. Vigilant integrates with leading SIEM platforms, ticketing systems, and communication tools. It enriches your existing workflows rather than replacing them.
