The Deepwatch Guardian MDR Platform delivers AI-native MDR governed by experts. It combines the Deepwatch Detection Engine, threat intelligence, the Deepwatch NEXA™ AI agentic ecosystem, and expert oversight to help organizations identify what matters, investigate faster, contain threats in real time, and respond with confidence.
AI is built into the platform’s operating model to accelerate correlation, enrichment, prioritization, investigation, and response across the customer’s security environment. Deepwatch experts, including SOC analysts, threat hunters, detection engineers, security engineers, and incident response professionals, validate AI-driven insights, investigate complex threats, and align response actions with each customer’s priorities and risk profile.
Deepwatch works across customers’ existing security and IT investments, helping organizations maximize the value of the tools and data they already have without requiring a rip-and-replace approach. The platform supports the security lifecycle from exposure management through detection, investigation, containment, and response while providing visibility into the decisions, actions, and intelligence that shape security operations.
“Our breakthrough platform combines AI-driven operations with the judgment, accountability, and oversight of experienced security professionals,” said Brian Dhatt, CEO of Deepwatch. “Organizations need to move faster as threats become more complex, but speed cannot come at the expense of control or transparency. We help security teams reduce operational burden, strengthen their security operations, and stay ahead of threats. We are honored to receive this recognition from CyberSecurity Breakthrough.”
Deepwatch’s approach is designed to deliver measurable operational outcomes, including faster investigation and response, reduced alert fatigue, improved team efficiency, and enhanced security posture across the organization. By combining AI with expert oversight, Deepwatch helps security teams scale their operations while maintaining transparency and control.
“With Deepwatch, organizations move from reactive operations to proactive containment. Today’s enterprises face an average of 40,000 security alerts every day, night, and holiday, all while threats are also increasing in complexity and capability. Technology alone doesn't create security outcomes. But as the attack surface expands, staffing issues persist,” said Steve Johansson, managing director, CyberSecurity Breakthrough. “The Deepwatch Guardian MDR Platform delivers both AI-native MDR and expert oversight, helping organizations identify the threats that matter most, accelerate investigations, and respond with confidence.” We congratulate Deepwatch on being named the 2026 Managed Security Solution of the Year.”

The 2026 program received thousands of nominations from organizations in more than 20 countries, representing breakthrough technologies from emerging companies and established enterprises across categories including cloud security, threat intelligence, risk management, fraud prevention, mobile security, application security, identity management, and more.
