About Swimlane

Swimlane sells an agentic AI automation platform that puts AI agents to work across the SOC, from customer-defined detections to fully agentic investigations. Swimlane AI SOC uses agentic AI that plans, executes, and documents each investigation, keeping every decision explainable and every action auditable. Swimlane AI SOC takes alerts from SIEM, EDR, and cloud tools, plus detection logic that the customer writes for threats those tools miss. Swimlane AI SOC uses intelligent routing to send each alert to automation, AI-assisted investigation or fully agentic investigation. Swimlane AI SOC sends known alerts to deterministic playbooks and reserves tokens for AI reasoning when unknown alert types occur.^[4]

Customer-defined detections in Swimlane AI SOC run organization-specific detection logic against large volumes of data in Turbine. Swimlane AI SOC detects AI risks that vendor tools may not alert on, including local AI model use, unsanctioned AI accounts, sensitive data submitted to AI services, prompt injection, and disabled or bypassed guardrails. Swimlane lets customers write detections for prompt injection, compromised guardrails and runaway AI spend from rogue agents, then route each alert to agentic investigation. Agents in Swimlane AI SOC pull threat data, past cases, and knowledge base articles into each investigation. Analysts can review, modify or rebuild any AI-generated plan in Swimlane AI SOC before it executes. Swimlane AI SOC generates a human-readable reasoning chain for every investigation, exportable for audit.^[4]

Swimlane offers a Hero AI playbook generator agent that creates and deploys production-grade playbooks, with clarifying questions and real-time progress updates. Users of all skill levels can create or modify playbooks with natural-language prompts in Swimlane AI SOC. Hero AI generates a live preview of a report or visualization that a user describes in plain language, and the preview can be applied to dashboards or case views. Two-way MCP support lets users connect Cursor or Cloud Code to Swimlane AI SOC and build playbooks, connectors, applications, and widgets.^[4]

Turbine Canvas is used to create playbooks, applications, and AI agents with no, low or full code supported by AI. Swimlane Marketplace holds thousands of pre-built playbooks. Swimlane AI SOC lets analysts execute recommended remediation playbooks in a single click. The Swimlane Turbine platform can be customized so that the customer's company name and logo appear first for its clients upon login. Swimlane provides pre-built MSSP dashboards that track portfolio health, caseloads, and analysis productivity across every client.^[4]

The Swimlane Compliance Audit Readiness (CAR) Solution, built on Turbine, moves compliance work from manual spreadsheets to a consolidated multi-framework compliance view. The CAR Solution helps GRC teams streamline audits and evidence gathering when managing multiple frameworks. The CAR Solution includes over 30 compliance framework extensions, available in the Swimlane Marketplace. Compliance evidence can be created, stored and monitored from multiple sources and linked to controls. External stakeholders can be assigned as control owners, and evidence requests go to the right person from a central location.^[5]

Swimlane offers the Swimlane Vulnerability Response Management (VRM) Solution for risk prioritization and management. Swimlane Intelligence enriches findings with known exploits, CVSS scores, EPSS scores, and 30+ customizable enrichment sources. The Risk Score in VRM consolidates data from CVSS, exploit scores, and asset criticality. The VRM Prioritization Rank uses Swimlane Intelligence to assess risk and prioritize responses, factoring in exceptions to reduce unnecessary alerts. Hero is Swimlane’s private agentic AI companion, used in vulnerability response management. VRM includes a case management application that integrates with ITSM and collaboration tools.

Swimlane Turbine brings message details, threat intelligence, authentication results, and user context into a single investigation. When phishing is confirmed, automation can help remove related messages, block malicious indicators, revoke sessions, and escalate affected users or endpoints. Higher-impact steps can be routed for analyst approval before execution. Swimlane Turbine’s pre-built phishing triage solution combines low-code playbooks, threat intelligence insights and case management applications. Phishing triage groups related messages and reports across users and inboxes so one campaign shows up as a single case.^{[1][2][4][7][8]}
