Move Beyond a co-managed platform. Upgrade your SOC with ReliaQuest GreyMatter.
A co-managed platform offers a hybrid approach where an organization’s in-house security team and an external managed service provider share the responsibility of security operations. While co-management provides modularity to adapt to your existing security stack, this human-led approach is slow, which increases the window for an attacker to exploit your environment.
ReliaQuest GreyMatter delivers a more powerful hybrid model: your team, partnered with an agentic AI security operations platform—unifying and optimizing your existing tools into a single platform. Leveraging agentic AI, it autonomously handles the reactive workload, containing threats in minutes, not hours.
Breaking Down the Difference
See what sets ReliaQuest GreyMatter apart from co-management platforms.
Capability | ReliaQuest GreyMatter | Co-management |
|---|---|---|
Goal | Hybrid approach that provides detection and response coverage to give your organization the highest ROI based on your existing security stack. | Hybrid approach that provides detection and response coverage to give your organization the highest ROI based on your existing security stack. |
Architecture | Leverages agentic AI to scale your team’s threat containment and response more quickly. | Human-led approach focused on responding to tickets or manually managing workloads remotely. |
Detection | Detects threats across any technology or vendor in your technology stack, leveraging API capabilities. | Manually built directly within existing technology stack, taking time to deploy and test-- risking a higher mean time to detect (MTTD). |
Containment and Response | Contains threats in under 5 minutes using automated workflows that orchestrate actions across your existing security stack. | Containment and response often takes hours or days due to the human-led approach. |
Investigation | Agentic AI autonomously conducts full investigations from alert triage to execute response actions. | A split, manual process. The provider’s analysts perform initial alert triage, then escalate to the in-house team, requiring multiple handoffs to complete. |
Orchestration and Automation | Native SOAR capabilities allow you to extend the platform’s existing automation capabilities to include business processes beyond detection, investigation, and response. | Limited to basic, provider-managed SOAR playbooks that assist analysts with simple, repetitive tasks. Does not replace the core manual workflow and cannot go beyond detection, investigation, and response. |
Cost | Lowers the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) by reducing data ingestion costs and maximizing the efficiency of the existing team and toolset at a lower cost. | Cost is dependent on the headcount of the human-led co-management team. |
