Agentic Soc Platform vs Sublime Security

Sublime Security operates on the mail layer. It deploys natively over Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace, runs the Autonomous Security Analyst to triage user-reported phish automatically, and uses the Autonomous Detection Engineer to author organization-specific detection rules within hours. Detections are written in Sublime Script, a YARA-like language, so analysts with detection-engineering skill can audit and tune them. Verdicts carry the evidence behind each flag, and response is automated: quarantine, alert, remediation. A July 2026 public beta adds advanced graymail protection to cut newsletter and bulk-mail noise. A free EML Analyzer covers ad-hoc message analysis.

Agentic SOC Platform starts elsewhere — at the SIM. Alerts arrive from Splunk, ELK, or generic webhooks via YAML-configured modules, and ASP opens Cases, alerts, and artifacts, then drafts an investigation report with severity, confidence, impact, priority, and verdict, plus attack-chain reconstruction and remediation guidance. It enriches IOCs and adds CMDB/identity context. Playbooks run LLM investigations with human approval gates, and a knowledge-extraction loop turns closed cases into a reusable knowledge base. Harness Agents integrate through asp-cli to operate cases, search logs, query threat intel, and write modules or playbooks.

The overlap is agentic triage. The surface is entirely different: email inbox versus SIEM telemetry, and the skill required is detection-rule tuning versus Python and YAML configuration.

Sublime Security is a contact-sales product; there is no published list price in the data. That is normal for enterprise email security — expect a quote scoped to mailbox count and modules, an evaluation, and a procurement cycle. It is positioned against consolidating multiple email security tools and reducing vendor spend, so the buying case is usually 'replace a legacy gateway plus close the gap on targeted BEC,' not 'cheapest per seat.'

Agentic SOC Platform is free: MIT-licensed and self-hosted, with no per-seat licensing. The cost is not zero — it is headcount. You supply on-premise infrastructure, Python and YAML engineering time to configure modules, playbooks, and SIEM mappings, plus ongoing upgrades, backups, and auth for a young 0.5.x codebase. There is no vendor SLA or support contract, and the docs explicitly say teams wanting a managed cloud SIEM/SOAR with SLAs are not the fit. So the honest comparison is an enterprise software contract versus internal labor and operational risk. An MSSP with Splunk/ELK engineers can run ASP across clients for license-free software, while a company without security staff would burn more in engineering time than a Sublime quote.
