Dropzone AI closed 2025 with remarkable growth, achieving 11x ARR expansion, recognition on the Fortune Cyber 60 list, and a $37 million Series B funding round led by Theory Ventures to advance its agentic SOC vision. The company now supports over 300 enterprises in production, delivering tangible AI-driven productivity gains in security operations centers.
Dropzone AI demonstrated accelerating adoption of AI in security operations throughout 2025, with its AI SOC analysts processing alerts in production environments for over 300 enterprises. This has resulted in over $10 million in recovered SOC productivity, allowing teams to shift focus from routine triage to proactive security initiatives.
The company expanded significantly across industries including Financial Services, Fintech, Insurance, Industrial, Manufacturing, and Media. Strong momentum in the MSSP and channel ecosystem came through partnerships with ECS, CBTS, and other service providers. High net revenue retention of over 370% highlights the value customers derive from redeploying human analysts to strategic priorities while AI handles Tier 1 alert investigations.
International growth included new customer wins and strategic hires in EMEA to support expanding demand. The company doubled in size through targeted hiring in product, engineering, and go-to-market functions, with Amit Patel joining as Chief Revenue Officer.
Dropzone AI earned spots on the Fortune Cyber 60 list, CB Insights Top 100 AI Startups, Top InfoSec Innovators, Big Innovation Awards, and Rising in Cyber. A landmark collaboration with the Cloud Security Alliance produced the first benchmark for AI-augmented analysts, confirming improvements in investigation accuracy by 22-29% and completion speed by 45-61%.
"In 2025, we have seen a significant acceleration of real-world AI adoption in SOC. Today, our AI SOC analysts are processing security alerts in production from over 300 enterprises and have recovered over $10 million of SOC productivity that can now be spent on other critical security projects," said Edward Wu, Founder and CEO of Dropzone AI. "But we're not stopping at a single agent. We're building toward a fully agentic SOC where human engineers and analysts are augmented with multiple specialized agents to work together on threat hunting, detection engineering, forensics, and threat intelligence. That's where this is headed. Not just faster investigation, but entire Detection and Response functions operating at machine scale with human strategy directing them. We're weaponizing LLMs to give defenders the advantage."
"What's driving our momentum is simple: results. Customers are expanding because Dropzone's AI agents are delivering accuracy, speed, and tangible productivity gains inside the SOC. As organizations adopt an agentic security model, Dropzone is becoming a core platform for scaling security operations without scaling headcount," said Amit Patel, Chief Revenue Officer, Dropzone AI.
Looking ahead to 2026, Dropzone AI is evolving its platform from a single AI SOC analyst to a collaborative team of specialized agents—including threat hunters, detection engineers, forensics analysts, threat intelligence specialists, and security data architects—working alongside human teams. This agentic SOC approach aims to scale human expertise, accelerate all SOC functions, and enable defenders to overmatch attackers through autonomous, LLM-powered capabilities.
