See how your SOC really performs, and what to fix first
The Micro-Vigilant SecOps Agent turns Microsoft Defender XDR and Micro-Vigilant data into plain-language answers about incident health, analyst workload and detection quality, with recommendations your SOC managers can act on.
Alert dashboards do not show how your SOC is doing
Microsoft Defender XDR shows what is happening. It is harder to see how well your team keeps up: which incidents are aging, who is overloaded and which detections only add noise.
Queues keep growing
Alert and incident volumes rise faster than teams can review them.
Old incidents go quiet
Unresolved, aging and stale cases drop out of sight, often because nobody owns them.
Workload is uneven
A few analysts carry most of the queue while response times stretch for everyone.
Noise wears teams down
Recurring false positives and noisy detections add to analyst fatigue.
Ask a question, get an answer you can act on
Real answers from the agent to questions SOC managers ask every week. Names and emails are hidden.
Who carries the load, and how fast it closes
The agent breaks down incident ownership by analyst with mean time to resolution (MTTR), and lists the open incidents nobody has picked up yet.
- Assigned incidents and average MTTR per analyst
- Unassigned open incidents, with title and creation time
- Any table exported to Excel in one click
Who should take the next incident
Ask for assignment recommendations and the agent weighs current workload against recent performance, explains its reasoning and proposes how to distribute the queue.
- Recommendations backed by MTTR and workload
- A suggested owner for every unassigned incident
- Follow-up questions to dig deeper
From Defender XDR signals to operational intelligence
The agent reads Micro-Vigilant incident information, actions and notification policies, together with Microsoft Defender incident reports. It answers in the chat with insights, recommendations and reports.
Plain-language questions, reasoned answers
Pick a suggested prompt or write your own. The agent shows how it reasoned and works from your own SOC data, not generic advice.
Built on Micro-Vigilant
Micro-Vigilant optimizes Microsoft Defender XDR signals and gives SOC managers and analysts visibility into day-to-day operations. The agent adds a conversational layer on top of that data.
Questions your SOC can ask today
Suggested prompts from the agent itself. Use them as they are or ask in your own words.
SOC health
- Generate a SOC operational health report for the last 24 hours
- Show me the most critical stale incidents
- Have we seen similar incidents before?
Workload and assignments
- Recommend incident assignments based on analyst workload and recent performance KPIs
- Provide a report on current workload balance for incidents
- Break down workload by analyst and status and highlight overload risks
Trends and detections
- Provide a report on weekly incident trends for the past month
- Which incident types are taking longer than expected and what detections might be noisy?
- Summarize top Defender event categories over the last 7 days and identify noise vs risk
Six areas of operational intelligence
SOC operational health
Open, unresolved, aging and stale incidents, assignment gaps and the workflow bottlenecks that slow resolution.
Analyst workload and performance
Incident ownership by analyst, team comparisons, MTTR, response indicators and capacity imbalances.
Critical and stale incidents
The oldest and most critical open cases, with likely blockers: missing owners, delayed response or incomplete investigation.
Detection quality
Recurring false positives, noisy detections and inefficient alert patterns, with tuning opportunities that reduce fatigue.
Actionable recommendations
Reassignment opportunities, workload balancing, prioritization and process improvements based on performance trends.
Signals and trends
Recurring alert categories, event patterns and Defender XDR trends that affect operational performance and risk.
