Why modern SOCs are switching from Microsoft Sentinel. Not just faster—smarter, simpler, and made for the real world.
AI in cybersecurity isn’t about automation for its own sake. It’s about precision, decision-making, and trust. Microsoft treats AI as a co-pilot—summarizing, suggesting, reacting. Fluency treats AI as a front-line analyst, capable of assessing threats, taking action, and filtering what actually matters. It's not just a difference in implementation—it's a difference in worldview.
Microsoft Sentinel’s AI Limitations
Fluency’s AI Design and Philosophy
Fluency is built to replace Tier 1 and Tier 2 analysts—not supplement them. The platform ingests, validates, triages, and acts on events in real time. Your analysts don’t waste time combing through routine alerts—they focus on the rare, novel, and strategic.
This isn’t an enhancement of legacy SIEM—it’s a reinvention. Fluency’s AI is the analyst. Your team becomes the oversight, the judgment, the strategy.
Microsoft Sentinel approaches detection through a database-centric lens. Its design is rooted in searching static logs using KQL (Kusto Query Language). Fluency takes a fundamentally different approach—one centered on process execution and real-time state.
Microsoft Sentinel’s Query-Driven Design
Fluency’s Process-Centric Architecture
Fluency doesn’t store logs and hope someone queries them later. It builds workflows from events the moment they happen. Detection happens in motion—using real-time state, memory, and logic to drive response.
At Fluency, detection is a process—an unfolding narrative of behavior—not just a timestamped event in a database. This change reduces response time, raises fidelity, and makes security operational again.
