Andesite is focused on improving the capabilities and efficiencies of cyber defense teams. Our advanced artificial intelligence (AI)-driven technology is built to simplify cyber threat decision making by accelerating the process of turning decentralized data sets into actionable insights. This empowers cyber defenders and analysts to more quickly surface threats and vulnerabilities, prioritize and allocate resources, and respond and remediate in a way that improves security posture and reduces cost. Andesite was built by an “Analyst Obsessed” technology team, with the company mission predicated on improving the output of analysts while reducing their burden of work.
