Value proposition
An agentic, AI-native SOC. It correlates alerts from a customer's existing SIEM, EDR, identity, cloud and network tools, investigates and prioritises threats, and automates response. Humans govern high-risk actions. Data, AI workloads and jurisdiction stay where the customer chooses.
Products and solutions
AI-native sovereign MDR platform with these capabilities: active cross-signal correlation, agentic/playbookless investigation, human-governed automated response (block, isolate, revoke, reconfigure), continuous security validation, and compounding threat intelligence. Also offers a security-stack gap assessment.
Unique value
Operational sovereignty: data, AI and jurisdiction are customer-defined. The platform is open-stack and AI-model-agnostic and deploys in any datacenter, cloud, on-prem or hybrid environment, with human governance over critical decisions.
Target customer
European critical infrastructure operators, municipalities, and mid-to-large enterprises with strict resilience, compliance and data-governance needs
Industries served
Critical infrastructure, public sector/municipalities, mid-to-large enterprises
Technology advantage
Sovera runs its own data centre and GPUs for its AI platform. The platform is AI-agnostic (best model per task) with a vendor-neutral integration layer on top of existing security tools. The founding team has deep domain credibility from LogPoint and prior experience running national SOCs.
How they differentiate
Sovera is European-sovereign by design: no cross-border data transfers and no single-AI-provider dependency. It deploys wherever the customer chooses and uses an AI-native agentic architecture rather than an AI layer bolted onto a SIEM.
