Secure.com has introduced Digital Security Teammate (DST), an AI-native agent that embeds within a company’s existing security stack to investigate alerts, triage incidents, perform compliance tasks, and escalate only when necessary. Deploying in minutes and operated through a natural-language interface, a single DST is pitched as matching the workload of both an L1 analyst and a security engineer while cutting alert noise by 60 %. Early pilots in finance, healthcare, and technology have demonstrated 70 % faster detection, 50 % faster resolution, and more than 2,000 analyst hours saved per year. The platform integrates with 200+ security tools and comes with built-in alignment for frameworks such as SOC2, ISO 27001, and regional standards. Headquartered in Dubai, the company serves customers in over 30 countries and prices DST from $2,500 per month. Future plans include expanding roll-outs across the GCC, APAC, and United States through a network of design partners. Secure.com’s founders have prior exits totaling $850 million, and the business has now taken its first outside capital to accelerate growth.
