Swimlane helps companies deal with cybersecurity threats faster. Its main platform, Swimlane Turbine, brings AI, automation, security workflows, case management, integrations, dashboards, and reporting together in one place.

Security teams often use many different tools to monitor their systems. When an alert comes in, analysts may have to check several platforms before they can understand what happened and decide what to do. Turbine connects these steps, helping teams investigate and respond without constantly switching between tools.

A security operations center, or SOC, may receive phishing reports, SIEM alerts, endpoint warnings, and threat intelligence at the same time. Analysts then have to figure out which alerts are serious, collect more information, investigate the issue and take action. Much of this work is repetitive. But it still needs to be done correctly. That is why Swimlane uses automation to handle the routine work and uses AI to help analysts deal with cases that need deeper thinking.

Turbine: The Core of Swimlane's Platform

Swimlane Turbine is the main platform behind the company's security automation offering. For many security teams, the biggest challenge is not a lack of information. It is knowing what to do with all that information. Thousands of alerts can arrive in a single day. Some are harmless. Some need immediate attention. So, analysts have to separate the two quickly.

Swimlane Turbine helps by collecting security data, adding useful information to alerts, moving tasks through automated workflows, supporting investigations, managing cases, and carrying out approved response actions. It can also connect with the different systems a company already uses across security, IT, cloud, identity, compliance, threat intelligence, and vulnerability management.

One of its key features is Turbine Canvas, a low-code tool that allows security teams to create automated workflows and AI agents. Users can build workflows with drag-and-drop tools and, increasingly, use natural language to create them. This means security teams do not always have to depend on developers to build every new workflow. Analysts who understand the problem can help create the solution themselves.

Turbine is also built to handle large volumes of work. Swimlane says the platform can carry out up to 25 million actions a day for a single customer, with speeds of up to 75,000 actions per minute. For large companies, this matters. Security automation needs to keep working even when the number of alerts suddenly increases.

Hero AI Adds Another Layer

One of the more interesting parts of Swimlane's platform is Hero AI. Rather than treating AI as a simple chatbot, Swimlane uses AI agents inside security workflows. These agents can help with investigations, threat intelligence, case analysis, recommendations, summaries, and response preparation. This can be especially useful when an alert does not fit a familiar pattern. Some security problems are easy to handle with a fixed rule. Others are not. A new type of attack may require analysts to look at several pieces of information before deciding what is happening.

Swimlane says this approach has reduced costs by up to 90 percent in a production environment and improved mean time to respond by as much as 75 percent.

Solving Everyday Security Problems

Swimlane's solutions are built around problems security teams regularly face.

Phishing is one example. Employees report suspicious emails every day, but many of those messages may turn out to be harmless. Checking each one manually takes time. Swimlane can automate parts of the process, including collecting information, checking indicators, investigating the email, and taking response actions.

Incident response is another major area. When a real security incident happens, teams need to move quickly. Turbine can collect information, add threat intelligence, support the investigation, manage the case, and carry out approved response actions. The platform also supports SIEM alert triage, EDR alert triage, and threat hunting. These are all areas where analysts can spend hours doing similar checks.

Swimlane also takes its automation beyond the SOC. Its use cases include vulnerability management, compliance audits, insider threats, employee offboarding, fraud investigations, anti-cheat investigations, and physical security.

Ready-Made Solutions for Security Teams

Not every company has the time or resources to build every security workflow from the beginning. Swimlane addresses this with ready-made solutions that teams can use as a starting point.

Its solution portfolio includes an AI SOC Solution, SOC Solutions Bundle, Vulnerability Response Management, Compliance Audit Readiness, Business Continuity Management, and Detection Engineering.

These solutions give teams pre-built workflows and components for common security tasks. They can then adjust them to match their own systems and processes. This can save teams a lot of time. Instead of asking, "How do we build this workflow?" they can start with something that already exists and make it fit their needs.

Looking Ahead to the Autonomous SOC

Swimlane's bigger goal is to help build what it calls the autonomous SOC. That does not necessarily mean taking humans out of security operations. In reality, it is more about giving people better support.

Machines can handle repetitive tasks. AI can investigate complex alerts and help make sense of large amounts of information. Analysts can then focus on cases where experience and judgment really matter. That could become increasingly important as cyberattacks become faster and more complicated.

Rather than simply helping security teams process more alerts, the company is working toward a model where security systems can understand events and act efficiently.
