Simbian and NuSummit Cybersecurity have partnered to launch CognixMDR, an AI-powered Managed Detection and Response (MDR) service that leverages Simbian’s AI SOC Agent to deliver autonomous threat detection, triage, and remediation at machine speed for global enterprises.

  • NuSummit Cybersecurity has integrated Simbian’s AI SOC Agent to power its new CognixMDR service, providing 24/7 autonomous monitoring and addressing 100% of security alerts with drastically reduced Mean Time to Respond (MTTR).
  • The collaboration combines Simbian’s agentic AI technology—built on TrustedLLM™ architecture and the Simbian Context Lake™—with NuSummit’s expert security operations team for hybrid human-AI threat response.
  • CognixMDR autonomously correlates signals from SIEM, XDR, EDR, and other tools, uncovers hidden threat patterns, executes real-time remediation, and resolves up to 90% of alerts without human intervention.
  • Designed to counter increasingly sophisticated AI-armed attackers, the service supports enterprises facing alert overload, talent shortages, and evolving threats in 2026.
  • CognixMDR is now generally available globally, building on NuSummit’s proven MDR experience with financial institutions, government agencies, and large enterprises.
  • The partnership marks a significant step in making autonomous, scalable security operations accessible through a future-ready SOC model.

Enterprises today face a dual challenge: overwhelming alert volumes from fragmented security tools and rapidly evolving threats amplified by AI-armed attackers. Traditional MDR services often rely on manual triage, leading to delayed responses and increased risk exposure. CognixMDR addresses this by deploying Simbian’s AI SOC Agent as a virtual security analyst that operates behind the scenes, while NuSummit’s trained experts provide final oversight, customer communication, and strategic guidance.

Autonomous AI-Powered Threat Response

Simbian’s AI SOC Agent ingests alerts from diverse security sources, applies customer-specific Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and business context via the Simbian Context Lake™, and autonomously investigates, triages, and remediates threats. This reduces human workload dramatically while maintaining precision and auditability. The agentic approach enables proactive threat hunting, pattern recognition across disparate signals, and instant action—capabilities critical in environments where attackers leverage AI for speed and sophistication.

Hybrid Human-AI Security Operations

CognixMDR maintains the essential human element by combining AI autonomy with NuSummit’s deep expertise in managed security services. Security analysts focus on high-value tasks, escalation handling, and client engagement, while the AI SOC resolves routine and known threats at scale. This model delivers resilient, proactive protection without sacrificing oversight or compliance requirements.

“At NuSummit, we are committed to helping our clients navigate the most intricate cybersecurity challenges,” said Sameer Shelke, President, NuSummit, and CEO, NuSummit Cybersecurity. “By choosing Simbian’s AI SOC to power CognixMDR, we are setting a new benchmark for managed detection and response services. This partnership enables us to offer our customers a truly future-ready SOC, combining deep human expertise with the unmatched speed, scalability, and precision of agentic AI.”

“Security is a domain of ever-increasing complexity where every incident brings new variables,” said Ambuj Kumar, Co-Founder and CEO of Simbian. “Our partnership with NuSummit is a significant step toward our mission of making autonomous security accessible to everyone. By integrating our AI SOC into CognixMDR, we are enabling NuSummit to deliver customers a faster, more scalable path to strategic defense.”

CognixMDR is now generally available to customers worldwide.
