FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Powered by BitLyft AIR®, the new offering combines autonomous investigation, policy-driven response, auditable reasoning and a 100% U.S.-based SOC to help mid-market security teams reclaim capacity without losing control.
ST. JOHNS, Mich., September 8, 2026 - BitLyft Cybersecurity today announced the general availability of BitLyft Agentic Managed Detection and Response (AMDR), powered by BitLyft AIR®, the company's autonomous security operations platform. AMDR moves beyond faster alert summaries by investigating, resolving and documenting eligible routine cases, while keeping experienced analysts in control of decisions that require judgment, authority or business context.
Organizations can run AIR with their own security team or engage BitLyft's 100% U.S.-based SOC to operate the platform as a fully managed service. Security and IT leaders can learn more about BitLyft Agentic MDR or request a demonstration.
Security teams face alert volumes that outpace human triage, fragmented tools that slow investigation, a persistent shortage of experienced analysts and adversaries who can move from initial access to business impact in minutes. Many AI security products help analysts interpret alerts. BitLyft built AIR to continue through the operational work by gathering evidence, correlating activity, executing approved containment and remediation actions, and preserving a readable record of what happened and why.
For eligible routine incidents, AIR carries the case from detection through resolution. The platform brings relevant evidence into a single investigation, assesses the activity, executes approved response actions and records the complete decision path. Use cases include securing compromised user accounts, removing malicious email and attacker-created forwarding rules, isolating affected endpoints, and escalating higher-risk matters with the investigation already assembled.
The platform is built around two operating principles:
The unit of value is a resolved case, not a more detailed alert. AIR handles repetitive investigation and response work so analysts can focus on incidents that genuinely require human judgment.
Autonomy must remain auditable. Every investigation preserves evidence, reasoning, confidence and actions taken, giving security teams a record they can review, report and defend.
BitLyft evolved from managed SIEM to traditional MDR and then to AIR, giving the company more than a decade of operational experience behind its agentic security model. Rather than placing AI on top of an alert queue, BitLyft built AIR around the workflows its analysts use to investigate, contain and document security events.
AIR continuously monitors signals across identity systems, endpoints, cloud workloads, email platforms and network sources. New cases are automatically investigated, and approved response actions can be executed within configured policies. Cases involving meaningful risk, authority or business context are routed to BitLyft's Tier 3 analysts or the customer's security team.
The model is designed for mid-market organizations that need greater security operations capacity without building and staffing a complete internal SOC. It also enables managed security providers to support more customer environments while maintaining distinct visibility and control.
“Anyone can point a model at a queue of alerts. Building a security operation that investigates routine cases, acts within configured policies and proves every move it makes requires knowing the work first. We spent more than a decade operating a SOC before teaching AIR to do this work at machine speed. The result is additional capacity for security teams without asking them to surrender visibility or control.”
Jason Miller, Founder and CEO, BitLyft Cybersecurity
BitLyft AMDR is available now as a fully managed service powered by BitLyft AIR®. AIR is also available to organizations and security providers that prefer to operate the platform with their own teams. To see AIR investigate and resolve a security case, request a demonstration.
“Many vendors promise to give your IT and SOC teams their time back. BitLyft AIR® AMDR is the first one I have seen that actually delivered it. My customers will no longer re-triage the same routine cases every day because BitLyft AIR® resolves them, and their teams step in only for decisions requiring a human. Visibility isn’t lost, and capacity is gained. That’s the trade every CISO wants and almost nobody gets.”
Jon Roberto, Vice President, Director of Sales, Cadre Information Security
