Quorum AI: The Next Evolution of MXDR

For the last several years, Gradient Cyber’s Quorum platform has quietly done what mid-market security teams actually need. It ingests data from across the customer’s environment, detects real threats early in the kill chain, and produces Situation Reports that explain what happened, why it matters, and what to do next.

That foundation has served our customers well. But it also imposed some limits.

As customer environments grew more complex, telemetry volumes increased, and attackers moved faster and more laterally, it became clear that incremental improvements would not be enough. We did not need more dashboards. We did not need AI bolted onto alerts after the fact. We needed to rethink how detection, analysis, response, and reporting work together at scale.

That is why we built Quorum AI^TM.

Quorum AI is the next evolution of our MXDR platform. It preserves everything our customers value about Quorum, while fundamentally advancing how security data is processed, correlated, interpreted, and communicated. Most importantly, it does so in a way that makes both human analysts and customers more effective at finding and stopping attack activity before calamity strikes - this, of course, in keeping with our longstanding observation 'you can’t keep the bad guys out, you can only detect and thwart them early'.

From Alerts to Understanding, at Scale

Traditional SOC platforms tend to treat AI as an afterthought. Data is ingested, alerts are generated, and only then does “AI” attempt to summarize or explain what already happened.

Quorum AI takes a different approach.

AI-assisted analysis is applied before alerts exist, not after. As telemetry enters the platform, it is parsed, normalized, enriched, and correlated in real time. Events are evaluated in context, across time windows and data sources, rather than as isolated signals. This allows early indicators of compromise to be distinguished from routine activity with far greater accuracy.

The result is fewer low-value alerts and higher-confidence incidents that represent real risk. For customers, this means earlier detection and clearer prioritization. For our SOC, it means more time spent investigating true threats and less time chasing noise.

This shift matters because speed alone is not the goal. Understanding is.

From Signals to Situations

One of the most meaningful advancements in Quorum AI is its ability to correlate activity across multiple stages of an attack.

Rather than treating alerts as endgames, Quorum AI links events into alerts, alerts into incidents, and incidents into broader campaigns. It recognizes patterns that unfold over time and across vectors, patterns that are difficult for humans to reliably identify at scale.

This multi-stage correlation enables earlier recognition of attacker intent and more confident response decisions. It also improves consistency. Two analysts looking at the same activity should reach the same conclusion, not because they followed a script, but because the system presents the same structured understanding of what is happening.

That consistency is foundational to trust, both inside the SOC and with customers.

SitReps That Read Like an Analyst Wrote Them

Gradient Cyber is known for its Situation Reports. Customers rely on them because they are clear, contextual, and actionable.

With Quorum AI, we took that concept further.

AI now assists in generating structured SitReps that explain what occurred, why it matters, the business risk involved, and recommended response steps. These reports are generated from structured data, not human assimilation from platform signals, and are always reviewed by human analysts before delivery.

This is not about replacing analysts. It’s about removing friction.

By reducing the manual effort required to produce high-quality reporting, our analysts can focus on investigation, validation, and customer guidance. Customers receive faster, more consistent reports that are easier to understand and act upon.

A More Transparent SOC, by Design

Quorum AI also introduces a significantly improved user experience built around clarity and visibility.

The new platform views provide insight into different dimensions of security operations:

• Pulse offers a real-time view into detection and response activity, showing how events move through the pipeline and where time is spent
• Beacon presents alerts and SitReps with richer context and clearer prioritization
• Insights aggregates operational and security data into executive-grade views that support governance, risk understanding, and strategic decision-making
• Fleet Command gives partners and multi-tenant operators a consolidated view across environments, enabling scale without loss of control

These views are not cosmetic. They reflect a deeper architectural shift toward observability, accountability, and trust. Customers should not have to guess how their SOC operates or whether it is effective.

Designed for the Mid-Market, Not Adapted to It

Quorum AI was built specifically for mid-market organizations and the partners who serve them.

That design focus shows up everywhere. The platform scales efficiently as data volumes grow. It supports deeper historical storage for threat hunting, forensics, and reporting without imposing enterprise-grade cost structures. It adapts quickly as data sources change or new ones are introduced.

Just as importantly, it remains usable.

Security platforms fail when they require enterprise staffing models to operate effectively. Quorum AI is designed to support real-world teams with limited time, limited budgets, and limited tolerance for complexity.

AI That Strengthens Human Judgment

Here is what Quorum AI is not. It is not an autonomous SOC. It is not a black box. It does not remove human accountability.

Instead, AI is used to assist analysts with evidence aggregation, enrichment, attack path explanation, and response guidance. Human judgment remains central. The system accelerates decision-making without obscuring it.

That balance matters. Security is a belt-and-suspenders discipline. Automation must increase confidence, not replace responsibility.

Built to Integrate, Not Isolate

Quorum AI is also designed to coexist with the broader security ecosystem.

Modern security programs rely on many adjacent capabilities, including vulnerability management, attack surface visibility, identity security, email protection, security awareness training, incident response, and governance services. These capabilities are made more effective when data flows cleanly between systems and when users are not forced to jump between disconnected interfaces.

Quorum AI acts as a unifying layer for detection and response-related activity, elevating the value of surrounding tools rather than attempting to replace them. This integration-first philosophy is essential for MSPs and MSSPs who need to deliver comprehensive services without building everything themselves.

Over time, this approach opens the door to a true force multiplier model, enabling a much broader population of service providers to deliver high-quality MDR and MXDR services with Gradient Cyber inside.

A Platform Built for What Comes Next

Quorum AI is available as the next evolution of Gradient Cyber’s MXDR platform for both existing and new customers. Current customers will transition seamlessly, preserving their data, workflows, and operational continuity.

More importantly, Quorum AI establishes a foundation for what comes next. It is built to evolve, to extend toward the edge where needed, and to support new forms of detection, response, and insight as customer needs change.
This is not a reset. It is a maturation.

Quorum AI reflects years of operational experience, hard-earned lessons, and a clear point of view about what mid-market security actually requires. It is AI applied where it matters most, in service of clarity, speed, and better decisions.

Built for Immediate Value, Designed to Evolve

Quorum AI is not a single “big bang” release. It is the first step in a deliberate evolution of Gradient Cyber’s MXDR platform.

The initial release delivers tangible operational improvements today, while establishing a foundation for additional capabilities that will roll out throughout 2026. Each phase builds on the last, allowing customers to realize value immediately while benefiting from continuous platform advancement over time.
