# Simbian

> Simbian is the Self-Improving Defense platform. We deploy autonomous AI Agents that share one Context Lake, so every pentest finding becomes a detection, every triaged alert teaches the next agent, and security coverage compounds with use instead of decaying between audits.

Simbian's AI Agents work across the full offensive and defensive security lifecycle: alert triage and incident response, continuous penetration testing, proactive threat hunting, and network SecOps. The platform integrates with existing security tools (SIEM, EDR, SOAR, IdP, ticketing) and operates autonomously inside governed boundaries — making decisions, taking actions, and closing alerts without requiring constant human intervention.

Unlike SOAR (static playbooks you have to maintain) or SOC copilots (suggest only; humans still click), Simbian agents act inside a governed boundary, write every action back to the Context Lake, and the next cycle starts smarter. In a typical 90-day window, MITRE ATT&CK technique coverage moves from roughly 33% to 83% — about 50 new attacker techniques covered without adding a single analyst.

Simbian is in production across 300+ enterprise environments, including six of the Fortune 500 and the world's largest MSSPs/MDRs looking to scale security operations, reduce analyst burnout, and cut mean time to respond (MTTR). 95% of the actions Simbian proposes are approved by the customer's own team.

## Self-Improving Defense

Self-improving defense is a system that gets better at defending without anyone rewriting its rules. It is not running a script Simbian shipped: it writes its own skills and its own code, chooses which tool to query and when, and decides which API to call at which moment. It improves from two inputs. The first is a war lab, where Simbian builds a synthetic company with its own people, machines, and daily traffic, then has one AI attack it while another defends; because Simbian authors both sides it knows the attacker's goal, every path tried including the dead ends, and which defensive action actually worked. That is training data nobody can collect from the real world, and customer telemetry never enters it. The second input is the Context Lake, everything specific to one customer: assets and what each is worth, identities and who they belong to, processes and runbooks, and the decisions already made. Simbian uses in-context learning, so customer data is read at run time and never absorbed into any model's weights. Every action passes through a gate and can require approval before it runs.

- [Self-Improving Defense overview](https://simbian.ai/self-improving-defense): The category narrative — the two queues, the war lab where the defense is trained, the Context Lake that makes it yours, and the MITRE coverage curve that compounds.
- [Context Lake](https://simbian.ai/self-improving-defense/context-lake): The shared memory every Simbian Agent reads from and writes back to — four layers (assets, identities, processes, decisions), the Context Manager control plane that governs what the agents learn, and the approval gate on every change.

## Products

- [AI SOC Agent](https://simbian.ai/products/ai-soc-agent): Autonomously triages, investigates, and responds to security alerts end-to-end. Closes alerts without analyst intervention and integrates with existing SIEM, EDR, and SOAR tools.
- [AI Pentest Agent](https://simbian.ai/products/ai-pentest-agent): Runs continuous autonomous penetration testing to find exploitable vulnerabilities before attackers do, with detailed remediation guidance. Findings flow into the Context Lake and become detections for the defensive agents.

- [AI Network SecOps Agent](https://simbian.ai/products/ai-network-secops-agent): Monitors and responds to network-level threats autonomously, reducing noise and accelerating network incident response.

## Solutions

- [Enterprise Security](https://simbian.ai/solutions/enterprise): AI-powered security operations for large enterprise teams — scales analyst capacity without scaling headcount.

## Research

Simbian Research Labs publishes open benchmarks measuring how well large language models perform real security operations work.

Opus 5 leads on tactic coverage at 0.451; no model tested clears the 50% tactic-coverage bar. Paper: https://arxiv.org/abs/2604.19533
- [AI SOC LLM Leaderboard](https://simbian.ai/best-ai-for-cybersecurity): The first benchmark measuring LLM performance for security operations, scoring 7 frontier models on the automated investigation of 100 full-kill-chain SOC scenarios. Scores run from 61.4% (DeepSeek R1) to 67.6% (Sonnet 3.5); no model tested cleared 70%. Published June 2025.
