Myrmex automates IT and security operations.
Simbian investigates every alert and proves the attack path.
Myrmex is an AI agent platform that audits, configures, and patches your infrastructure, with a person approving each change. Simbian's AI SOC Agent investigates and responds to every alert on the same tools, runs on-prem or air-gapped, and works alongside an AI Pentest Agent that proves which attack paths are open.

Both put AI agents to work in your tools. Simbian's Agents also work every alert and prove the attack path.
Myrmex's agents inventory, audit, and change infrastructure on request, and its SOC mode investigates the alerts an analyst hands it. Simbian's AI SOC Agent takes each alert from first signal to response on its own, and every pentest finding feeds what it learns.
What both do
- ●A person approves changes before they runIsolating a host or changing a firewall rule needs a yes first. You choose what runs unattended.
- ●Both read alerts from your SIEM and EDRElastic, QRadar, Splunk, Wazuh, Sentinel, CrowdStrike, and SentinelOne among them.
- ●Both act inside the tools you already runNeither asks you to replace your SIEM, EDR, or firewall.
- ●Built for MSSPs as well as enterprisesMyrmex has managed sub-organizations; Simbian runs per-tenant for providers.
Where Simbian pulls ahead
- ▸Every alert worked from signal to responseSimbian's AI SOC Agent investigates and responds with no chat request or playbook to write first.
- ▸On-prem or air-gapped, with your own modelSimbian runs as SaaS, private cloud, on-premises, or fully air-gapped, with your own LLM, and never trains on your data.
- ▸An AI Pentest Agent that exploits and proves the pathIt works in your running environment and records the evidence.
- ▸Hunting and detection engineering that close the loopThe AI Threat Hunt Agent validates hypotheses, and the AI Detection Engineering Agent tunes the rules your SIEM already has.
Myrmex vs Simbian: two ways to put AI agents in security operations
Myrmex gives IT and security teams a chat workspace of named agents that run approved changes across infrastructure. Simbian runs security Agents that investigate, hunt, test, and tune across the tools you already own.
MyrmexSimbian
Core unit
MyrmexA chat workspace where an orchestrator (Centurion) routes requests to specialist agents for endpoints, cloud, network and security hardware, identity, databases, and the service desk. It serves seven teams, from the service desk to the SOC, and Myrmex says the AI SOC category is half of what it does.
SimbianAI SOC, AI Pentest, AI Threat Hunt, and AI Detection Engineering Agents on one platform, sharing one Context Lake™.
How work starts
MyrmexAn analyst types a request or sends an alert to chat, and playbooks run on demand, on a schedule, or from a webhook. Writes need a plan and a human approval.
SimbianEvery alert is picked up and investigated to a verdict, and nobody has to write a request or a playbook first.
Threat hunting
MyrmexThe Sentinel connector lets an analyst hunt with KQL on demand, and a forensic request in chat returns a verdict for that host.
SimbianThe AI Threat Hunt Agent writes, runs, and interprets its own queries, tests several hypotheses in parallel against months of data, and returns a verdict.
Offense
MyrmexVulnerability scanning on supported devices, with CVEs grouped by the update that fixes them and the fix routed through change management.
SimbianThe AI Pentest Agent exploits the path in your live environment and records the evidence. Related alerts move up in severity.
Detection rules
MyrmexIts Wazuh and Elastic sub-agents create and edit detection rules and suppress alerts per rule, and the Elastic connector audits signals and coverage. Other SIEM connectors read and triage.
SimbianThe AI Detection Engineering Agent syncs every rule your SIEM exposes, tunes each with evidence and a backtest, and a person approves before anything deploys.
Memory
MyrmexA note the AI keeps per device or integration, a rule you write per asset, and conversation history kept per organization.
SimbianOne Context Lake that the AI SOC, AI Threat Hunt, and AI Pentest Agents read from, holding your assets, identities, runbooks, and the decisions your team already made.
Models and data
MyrmexVertex AI on Google Cloud runs the model lifecycle, with no model selector for customers. Chat data may be used, anonymized and aggregated, for model training unless the plan or contract excludes it.
SimbianBring your own model. Simbian ships no model of its own, reads your data at run time in your tenant, and never trains on it.
Deployment
MyrmexSaaS on Google Cloud. An agent in your network connects outbound on TCP 443, which Myrmex says does not mean offline operation or all processing taking place in the client's environment.
SimbianSaaS, dedicated SaaS, private cloud, on-premises, or air-gapped, with your choice of LLM.
How does Simbian compare with Myrmex?
Myrmex is ahead on firewall and server changes from a chat request and on saved playbooks, and neither product connects to every tool out of the box. Simbian is ahead on end-to-end alert work, offensive testing, hunting, detection engineering, and deployment choice.

Frequently Asked Questions
Myrmex is an AI agent platform for IT and security operations built by AINEXT Tecnologia in São Paulo. It connects to an organization's tools, investigates issues, executes authorized actions, and records the results. A chat workspace routes requests to specialist agents that audit, configure, and patch firewalls, servers, cloud accounts, and directories, with a person approving each change. It runs as SaaS on Google Cloud.
Myrmex connects SIEM and EDR tools such as Elastic, Wazuh, QRadar, Splunk, Sentinel, CrowdStrike, and SentinelOne into one alert queue. An analyst sends an alert to chat or enriches it for the SOC agent, which gathers indicators, inspects hosts, and recommends containment for approval. Simbian's AI SOC Agent instead investigates every alert to a verdict and responds without waiting for a request.
No. Myrmex is cloud-hosted SaaS on Google Cloud. Its agent and collector run inside your network and connect outbound on TCP 443, and Myrmex states that this does not mean offline operation or all processing taking place in the client's environment. Simbian deploys as SaaS, dedicated SaaS, private cloud, on-premises, or fully air-gapped, with your choice of LLM.
Not as a product capability, as far as its published documentation shows. Myrmex scans supported devices for vulnerabilities, groups CVEs by the update that fixes them, and routes the fix through change management. Simbian's AI Pentest Agent exploits the attack path in your live environment, records the evidence, and the AI SOC Agent raises the severity of any alert on that path.
It can, by default. Myrmex's privacy policy says chat data may be used in anonymized and aggregated form for performance analysis, algorithm improvement, and AI model training, subject to plan terms and contractual commitments, and its security page says non-training commitments are formalized during an enterprise assessment. Simbian ships no model of its own and never trains on your data, with no contract term required.
Simbian. Its AI SOC Agent works every alert through to a response without a chat request or a playbook, across 100+ tools that include the SIEMs and EDRs Myrmex connects to, and it deploys on-prem or air-gapped. The AI Pentest Agent proves which attack paths are open, the AI Threat Hunt Agent validates hypotheses, and the AI Detection Engineering Agent tunes your SIEM rules.
