Introducing MetricIQ: The AI powered metric triage solution

MetricIQ is Panaseer’s latest AI-powered solution designed to transform how security teams triage and act on critical cyber metrics. Instead of spending hours digging through dashboards and spreadsheets, it continuously interprets every metric, surfaces what matters most, translates complex data into actionable insights, and suggests clear next steps your team can take immediately.

The impact of scaling SOC operations in the face of skill shortages and growing complexity

Modern security teams can’t keep up with metric overload

Let’s be honest, if you’ve ever tried to keep up with thousands of daily alerts, you know the pain. Research shows security teams can face up to 4,400 alerts every day, with analysts spending hours juggling dashboards, spreadsheets, and multiple tools to make sense of it all. Nearly 62% of alerts go ignored due to alert fatigue and false positives.

The tool landscape isn’t helping either. The average enterprise manages 64-76 security solutions across detection, vulnerability management, and identity monitoring. That’s a lot of dashboards, context switching, and fragmented workflows for teams that are already stretched thin.

Even with Panaseer’s Continuous Control Monitoring (CCM) platform consolidating and normalizing assets, controls, vulnerabilities, and identity coverage, analysts still spend hours manually triaging metrics. On a typical day, you might:

Decide which metrics indicate real risk
Investigate root causes and connect issues to business assets
Prioritize, escalate, and recommend remediation actions
Produce leadership reports

Even experienced analysts can spend hours piecing together insights. Less experienced team members might struggle to make consistent decisions, and CISOs often receive fragmented technical information that needs to be translated into contextual summaries required in executive meetings.

Transforming metric triage with MetricIQ

MetricIQ is Panaseer’s AI-powered solution that transforms how security teams monitor and triage changes in critical cyber metrics. Built on Panaseer’s unified data foundation, which covers assets, vulnerabilities, identity, and more, it analyzes the underlying data points for each metric and uses AI to explain expert-level insights in plain language

Instead of spending hours piecing together data across dashboards, spreadsheets, and multiple tools, MetricIQ does the triage for you. It highlights which deviations actually matter, explains their business impact in plain language, and recommends practical next steps for remediation.

Analysts get a consistent, guided starting point for investigations, while CISOs receive concise, board-ready summaries that focus on risk, performance, and business alignment without being buried in technical detail.

Combined with Key Drivers, PanaseerAI’s investigative solution, security teams get both sides of the equation: why a metric is changing and what actions should follow.

Together, they automate critical parts of the SOC workflow from triage to investigation freeing up time, improving consistency, and enabling every team member to operate at a higher level. Where traditional methods leave teams stuck at “what changed”, MetricIQ helps analysts understand “what to do about it” in seconds.

How does MetricIQ directly makes your SOC faster, smarter, and more effective

Make faster, more confident decisions
MetricIQ spots the metrics that matter most and explains why. You can open a dashboard and, in seconds, understand the state of a metric and the steps to take next.

Bridge skill gaps across the team
With a global cybersecurity skills shortage of 4.8 million unfilled roles, teams need solutions that allow less experienced analysts to operate effectively. MetricIQ provides a guided starting point for investigations, ensuring best practices without depending solely on expert staff.

Align security actions with business priorities
CISOs get concise, business-ready summaries that highlight performance, risk, and control effectiveness. Communicating security’s impact to leadership has never been easier.

Reduce operational friction
By integrating seamlessly with your existing tools, MetricIQ eliminates the need to constantly switch between dashboards and spreadsheets. Analysts spend less time hunting for data and more time on investigations that matter.

Scale SOC workflows confidently
Consistent triage, actionable recommendations, and context-aware insights allow SOCs to handle more metrics and larger teams without losing speed, accuracy, or quality.

Investigable AI for deeper insights
For complex investigations, MetricIQ links directly to Key Drivers and underlying metrics. Analysts can drill into root causes without piecing together multiple dashboards, cutting investigation time significantly.

The pressure on modern security teams has never been higher. Modern SOCs face a rapidly evolving threat landscape. Attackers are leveraging increasingly sophisticated techniques, and organizations are under more scrutiny from regulators and boards than ever before.

At the same time, the cybersecurity skills gap persists, with open analyst roles far outpacing available talent, making it critical to leverage AI to do more with less. Security teams need not just speed, but actionable insights that translate directly into risk reduction and business impact.

MetricIQ addresses these challenges by automating metric triage and investigation. Analysts can act with confidence on the metrics that matter most, while less experienced staff get a reliable, guided starting point for consistent, high-quality investigations.

CISOs gain concise, business-aligned summaries without wading through technical details, enabling faster prioritization of threats and resources.

Looking ahead: AI as the backbone of modern SOCs

At Panaseer, we’re helping security teams do more with less by putting AI at the heart of continuous control monitoring. MetricIQ illustrates the growing role of AI in SOCs. Forward-thinking teams are already leveraging AI to triage alerts, analyze metrics, and provide actionable guidance.

As your team adopts more AI, it is important to make sure outputs are explainable, auditable, and aligned with ethical standards. That way, you can trust the insights, comply with regulations, and scale your SOC without losing control.
