Overview
Command Zero builds autonomous cyber-investigation agents for security operations centers. The platform ingests alerts from SIEM and EDR tools, correlates evidence across logs and endpoints, and produces analyst-ready investigation reports using expert-encoded playbooks. Target buyers are enterprise SOC teams drowning in alert volume. The company raised a $21M seed in 2024 led by a16z with Insight Partners participating, and added Crosspoint Capital and Okta Ventures in follow-on rounds per CB Insights.

Competitive landscape
Edge: Playbook-encoded investigation logic from experienced SOC operators — not generic chatbot wrappers on alert feeds.
SOC automation is crowded with SOAR incumbents and new AI-native entrants. Command Zero's bet is that investigation quality — not just ticket routing — is the bottleneck. Enterprise buyers will test whether agents reduce mean-time-to-investigate without missing nuanced threats.
