Frequently asked questions about AirMDR
What is the Free Forever plan and what does it include?
The Free Forever plan supports up to 3 data sources and 100 alerts triaged per week. It includes the complete AirMDR AI SOC platform scaled for lighter use, allowing you to use it hands-on free with no credit card required. You can cancel or upgrade at any time.

AirMDR costs 65% less than traditional MDR at $21,600/year and automates 80-90% of Tier-1 triage that traditional MDR handles manually.
What integrations does AirMDR support?
AirMDR has 200+ integrations with an ever-expanding catalog backed by a dedicated integrations team. It connects seamlessly with SIEM, EDR, IDP (Identity Provider), CASB, email security, cloud platforms, and SaaS applications. The platform fetches alerts, provides enrichment, supports federated queries, and enables actions like account resets, IP blocking, and ticketing through least-privilege scoped credentials.
Who is AirMDR designed for?
AirMDR is designed for security teams of all sizes, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises that want enterprise-class MDR efficacy without building in-house SOCs. It's ideal for SOC leaders, security engineers, and analysts who need low-latency triage and repeatable investigations. It's also purpose-built for MSSPs with multi-tenant AI analyst capabilities and white-label branding. Organizations scaling MDR/SOC outcomes without linear analyst hiring benefit most.
What is Darryl and how does the AI virtual analyst work?
Darryl is AirMDR's AI-powered virtual security analyst that turns plain-English instructions and incoming alerts into step-by-step investigations. Darryl automates investigations by running playbooks and enrichment steps, chooses the right skills (queries/actions) based on alert context, explains rationale for each step and final decisions, learns with feedback from Facts and Allow/Block Lists, and keeps teams in sync via Slack/Email notifications. It operates with guardrails including deterministic Guidelines, human-in-the-loop controls, full auditability, and least-privilege access.
How long does it take to deploy AirMDR?
AirMDR offers rapid time-to-value with deployment in days rather than months. Enterprise clients can implement the platform within days with guided trials and expert tuning services. Customer Randy Potts from Real Time Resolutions noted that AirMDR recreated all his team's 9-year-old alerts in about one week. The recommended quick start sequence includes picking 2-3 high-volume alert types, creating minimal guidelines, running a 7-day pilot, and then iterating weekly.
What is the Case Management system and what does it include?
Case Management is AirMDR's system of record for investigations with states: In Progress, Analyst Pending, Customer Pending, and Closed. Each case includes an executive summary and timeline, enrichment findings and rationale, final disposition with next steps, stakeholder notifications (Slack/Email), attachments, and complete audit trail. Every query, action, rationale, and notification is written to the case timeline for full auditability and governance with role-based access and redaction controls.
Does AirMDR require replacing my existing security tools?
No, AirMDR works alongside your existing SIEM, EDR, IDP, CASB, and email security tools with no forklift replacement required. It ingests alerts from your current stack, enriches evidence across tools, and automates response without requiring you to replace anything. The platform uses least-privilege scoped credentials from integrations and queries what you need when you need it, minimizing data copying while maximizing your existing security investment.
What pricing options are available and is there a trial?
AirMDR offers a Free Forever plan (3 data sources, 100 alerts/week, no credit card), custom-quoted paid plans with annual contracts at $21,600/year for enterprise MDR (65% savings vs competitors), and no onboarding fees. Enterprises can try a 60-day free trial with no cost, plus get one year of MDR for one source free just for trying. MSSPs receive flexible licensing and branding options. All paid plans require annual contracts with no month-to-month option.
