Simbian, a company specializing in AI for security operations, and NuSummit Cybersecurity, a global cybersecurity services provider and part of NuSummit, have announced a strategic partnership. As part of this collaboration, NuSummit Cybersecurity has acquired Simbian’s AI SOC product to power its new CognixMDR service, which aims to deliver autonomous threat detection and response capabilities at machine speed.
This partnership addresses critical security challenges faced by enterprises as they approach 2026. In-house security operations teams often contend with a high volume of security alerts and a shortage of skilled security personnel, while confronting increasingly sophisticated AI-armed attacks.
By integrating Simbian’s AI SOC Agent, NuSummit’s CognixMDR will provide customers with 24/7 autonomous monitoring, supplemented by NuSummit’s team of security experts. This combined approach is designed to address 100% of security alerts and reduce the Mean Time to Respond (MTTR).
“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.”
CognixMDR is NuSummit’s advanced Managed Detection and Response (MDR) service, designed to provide resilient and proactive protection for global enterprises. By incorporating Simbian’s AI SOC technology, CognixMDR aims to move beyond manual triage, leveraging autonomous agents to correlate disparate security signals, uncover hidden threat patterns, and execute real-time remediation.
For MDR providers such as NuSummit, Simbian’s AI SOC functions as a virtual security analyst, automating the investigation, triage, and response to alerts generated by various security tools, including SIEM, XDR, and EDR. Built on a proprietary TrustedLLM™ architecture and the Simbian Context Lake™, the Simbian AI SOC Agent is designed to understand each customer’s unique Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and business environment, with the capability to resolve up to 90% of alerts without direct human intervention. This process occurs while the MDR provider’s security staff maintains oversight and manages customer communications.
“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 globally. The service leverages NuSummit’s experience in delivering MDR services to financial institutions, government agencies, and large enterprises worldwide.
