Called WorkHorse , the solution is described as a tool that easily integrates with an organization’s SIEM system and within minutes begins transforming raw alerts into fully customized insights, ready for Tier 2 analysts . The goal is to reduce alert fatigue to zero and reduce incident triage time from hours to seconds.
HoundBytes reports that WorkHorse takes a different approach compared to its main competitors – traditional SOAR – by eliminating friction points such as new dashboards, training requirements, new playbooks and vendor engagement.
WorkHorse started as an internal project at HoundBytes to solve its own Tier 1 notification overload, but has now become a standalone solution with its own customer base, roadmap, and funding strategy.

WorkHorse leverages a machine learning algorithm based on a multi-graph approach and is stateless.
The product receives updates based on feedback from customer SOCs, as well as the vendor's own SOC.
Pricing for WorkHorse is determined by the number of alerts processed each month. There is a flat rate of $3,500 per month for up to 10,000 alerts. Above 10,000 alerts, organizations pay per alert on a pro-rata basis, with the cost per alert decreasing as volume increases.
