"Deepwatch has a unique and powerful foundation - more than a decade of real-world security operations, a rich proprietary dataset, and AI-driven automation already delivering results at scale," said Brian Dhatt, CEO of Deepwatch. "What sets Deepwatch apart is how we combine that automation with human expertise. As we continue to evolve toward an Agentic AI SOC model, our focus is on using AI to handle scale and speed while keeping humans in the loop to ensure accuracy, trust, and real-world outcomes." Deepwatch has established a differentiated market position through an AI-driven, human-led SOC model. The Deepwatch Guardian MDR Platform(TM) combines: * More than ten years of real-world SOC telemetry and operational data * A proprietary dataset spanning detections, investigations, response workflows, and outcomes * Agentic AI-driven automation and orchestration deployed in production * Human-in-the-loop validation to ensure accuracy, context, and continuous improvement * Deep integrations across enterprise security ecosystems This foundation enables organizations to accelerate adoption of autonomous security operations while maintaining the visibility, control, and expert oversight required for enterprise environments. Rather than replacing human analysts, Deepwatch's approach uses AI to reduce noise, automate investigations, and surface the highest priority threats - allowing experts to focus on decision-making and response where it matters most. "Brian is the ideal leader for Deepwatch's next chapter," said Bill Phelps, Chairman of Deepwatch's Board of Directors. "His experience scaling complex technology platforms and leading organizations through periods of rapid growth will be invaluable as the company continues to extend its leadership in autonomous security operations." Ramanathan brings more than 20 years of product and go-to-market leadership across leading cybersecurity and cloud companies, including McAfee, Proofpoint, Cisco, and Skyhigh Security. Over his career, he has built and scaled market-leading security platforms, and driven category-defining innovation across cloud, endpoint, and data security.

"Anand is a proven leader with deep domain expertise and a strong track record of building category-leading security platforms," said Dhatt. "His expanded role ensures we continue to translate our unique combination of AI-driven automation and human expertise into scalable, differentiated outcomes for our customers." Backed by Springcoast Partners, Goldman Sachs, ABS Capital and Splunk Ventures, Deepwatch represents a fundamental shift from traditional managed security models toward autonomous SOC operations. By combining AI-driven operations with human oversight, the company delivers continuous improvement, higher accuracy, and enterprise-grade trust - enabling organizations to adopt autonomous security with confidence.
