  3. Abuse history

    234 reports in the last 30 days. Confidence score 100 / 100.

  4. Technique

    Pattern matches application-layer C2 over HTTPS.

The asymmetry

The attack is already automated.The defense, still manual.

The problem

Alert fatigue is killing SOC throughput.

SIEMs fire thousands of alerts per day. Analysts can't investigate them all, so the signal disappears into the dashboard.

67%
of security alerts are never investigated.

Alert volume

Every SIEM fires thousands of alerts per day. No SOC team can manually triage them all.

False positives

Most alerts are noise. Manual triage burns analyst hours and still gambles with risk.

Analyst fatigue

Repeated alerts numb the team. The one that matters ends up buried in the queue.

The cost

One missed alert can cost more than a year of MDR.

No 24/7 SOC

The mid-market can't afford a dedicated, round-the-clock analyst team.

Scarce talent

There's a global shortage of cybersecurity professionals. Hiring isn't a fast option.

The mid-market is in the worst spot: as exposed as a bank, without its defensive resources.

The product

Automated SOC alert triage, end to end.

Shelmia ingests every SIEM alert, filters known false positives, investigates what's left with AI agents, and ships a verdict with the full reasoning chain attached.

Why Shelmia

Why Shelmia vs. traditional MDR.

01

Auditable reasoning

Not a black box. Every verdict shows what the agent queried, what it found and why it concluded what it concluded.

02

LATAM-native telemetry

Detection is tuned to the regional context — threats, stacks, language — that global vendors structurally underrepresent.

03

European hosting under GDPR

Data hosted in the EU, enabled by Uruguay's adequacy with the European Commission (Law 18.331). A concrete legal differentiator.

The moat isn't the AI model — it's the regional data and context that global incumbents don't have.

Why now

Why AI-driven SOC automation, now.

Agentic AI has matured

Reliable, traceable reasoning is now viable in production, not only in demos.

Attacks went industrial

Ransomware-as-a-service and offensive AI lowered the attacker's barrier.

Mid-market was left out

Enterprise MDR is expensive and heavy. A massive segment is still uncovered.

Regulatory tailwind

Data sovereignty and privacy rules push toward regional and European hosting.

FAQ

Questions buyers ask before a pilot.

What does Shelmia integrate with?

Today Shelmia ingests alerts from Wazuh and Elastic (the most common SIEMs in the LATAM mid-market) and enriches them with multi-vendor IP reputation feeds, abuse history databases, and adversary technique catalogs. New connectors are added per pilot.

Is Shelmia an MDR replacement?

Shelmia is built for teams that can't afford a full MDR or a 24/7 SOC. It automates the triage layer — the part where most analyst hours go — and hands a qualified verdict back to your team or your existing MDR.

Where is the data stored?

All data is hosted in the European Union. Uruguay's adequacy decision with the European Commission (Law 18.331) lets LATAM customers store telemetry under GDPR — a legal differentiator that most US-based vendors can't match.

How is this different from a generic LLM wrapper?

The pipeline is deterministic where it can be and probabilistic only where it has to be. The LLM writes the explanation, not the verdict — every conclusion is backed by a chain of queries and findings that a human analyst can audit step by step.
