Key features	AI virtual analyst ("Darryl") that triages every alert automatically 24/7 human SOC team supervising and validating AI investigations Audit-ready investigation documentation generated per case No SOAR platform, playbooks, or automation engineers required to deploy 95% of cases reported resolved in under 5 minutes	50+ specialized AI agents across the SOC workflow Automated alert triage and incident investigation Dedicated Threat Intelligence Analyst and Incident Responder agent roles Threat hunting and vulnerability management coverage Human-in-the-loop case review and escalation
Pros	Free tier for automated alert triage with no credit card required Per-alert pricing (about $4) undercuts the roughly $10 figure cited for legacy MDR Human SOC oversight layered on top of AI output rather than fully unsupervised	Founder brings direct prior-company experience running a threat-intelligence platform (ThreatConnect) Reported 60-90% reduction in alert investigation time across its customer base 30-day free trial lets security teams validate fit before committing budget
Cons	Founded in 2023, so track record is short next to established MDR vendors Per-alert pricing can climb unpredictably during a high-volume incident Effectiveness claims come from the vendor rather than an independent audit	Standard plan pricing (around $50/month) is found only through third-party review sites, not a public Bricklayer pricing page Enterprise deployment requires custom scoping, adding sales-cycle time for larger security teams Some directories mislabel its category (e.g. data analysis), which does not match the product's actual cybersecurity focus
