AirMDR is an AI-powered managed detection and response (MDR) provider founded in 2023 by Anthony Morris and Kumar Saurabh in Menlo Park, California; Saurabh previously built Sumo Logic, ArcSight, and LogicHub, and carried that security-operations background into a product meant to replace the SOAR-playbook-and-analyst-headcount model traditional MDR relies on.
The platform runs an AI virtual analyst nicknamed Darryl that triages every incoming alert automatically, investigates it, and drafts audit-ready documentation, with a 24/7 human SOC team supervising and validating its output rather than doing the triage themselves; AirMDR states that 95% of cases get resolved in under 5 minutes this way, at roughly $4 per alert versus the $10-per-alert figure it attributes to conventional MDR staffing models.
AirMDR suits small and mid-sized security teams that need round-the-clock detection and response coverage without hiring a full SOC roster; customers cited on the site include 23andMe, Workato, and Splashtop. A free plan covers automated alert triage with no credit card required, and standard paid pricing runs about $4 per alert.
