ReliaQuest launches GreyMatter automation to speed threat response
ReliaQuest has introduced GreyMatter Workflows, a capability designed to accelerate the detection and containment of security threats by automating operational workflows within its GreyMatter platform. GreyMatter Workflows enables customers to create business-specific automated processes using a no-code, drag-and-drop interface. This functionality aims to reduce the manual effort involved in security operations and enhance response speeds across complex threat environments. Workflow automation The new feature is integrated natively with ReliaQuest's AI-driven security operations platform and automates essential tasks across detection, containment, investigation, and response activities within existing technology infrastructures. GreyMatter Workflows extends automation beyond traditional security tools, facilitating direct interaction with other business units and end users. It also offers integration with services such as Microsoft Teams and Slack, enabling more comprehensive threat verification and communication capabilities. Pre-built workflow templates are provided, based on frequent use cases observed among ReliaQuest's enterprise clients, and can be further customised to suit unique organisational requirements. Security teams can develop and deploy automation processes with zero-code design from initial implementation, and have the option to use AI Agents for more tailored adjustments throughout investigative workstreams. According to ReliaQuest, the adoption of GreyMatter Workflows leads to a reduction in operational complexity, diminishes the need for manual intervention, and shortens incident response times. Customers reportedly experience a 64% decrease in Mean Time to Respond (MTTR) and are able to eliminate more than half of manual response tasks. Customer and industry response "The threat landscape is accelerating, but the operational workflows used to detect and contain those threats haven't kept up," said Brian Foster, President of Product and Technical Operations at ReliaQuest. "Security teams need the ability to automate complex workflows quickly, so they can focus more on managing threats and less on managing tools. GreyMatter Workflows gives our customers the ability to build powerful end-to-end automations to unify all phases of security operations, without leaving the platform." Pat O'Keefe, Head of Global Security Operations and Risk Management at Circle K, commented on the significance of rapid threat management, particularly for organisations with substantial and dispersed operational footprints. "Detecting and containing threats quickly has never been more important in cybersecurity, especially for a business like ours that is distributed across hundreds of locations around the world," said Pat O'Keefe. "Being able to extend our automation capabilities further into our business will help us stay proactive in protecting our brand." Bo Olsen, Security Engineering Manager at Eastern Bank, discussed the evolving direction of daily security operations, emphasising automation as a key priority to allocate resources toward more strategic objectives. "As we look to what's next in cybersecurity, we plan to automate as much as possible of the day-to-day security operations processes so we can spend more time on what matters most to our business," said Bo Olsen. "We can't achieve that level of efficiency with traditional SOAR – an expensive add-on that doesn't deliver the outcomes we really need." Platform details The GreyMatter platform utilises ReliaQuest's Universal Translator, detection-at-source, and Agentic AI components to facilitate connectivity and threat management across cloud, multi-cloud, and on-premises environments. The introduction of Workflows supports ReliaQuest's objective of enabling tailored security outcomes for organisations with differing technology architectures and business needs. With over 1,000 customers and 1,200 staff across six global locations, ReliaQuest continues to offer capabilities in security operations that address the responsiveness and efficiency demands faced by enterprises amid dynamic cybersecurity challenges.

ReliaQuest GreyMatter Further Speeds Detection and Containment of Threats with Native Automation Workflows
TAMPA, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Today ReliaQuest, the leader in AI-powered security operations, announced GreyMatter Workflows, a new capability that allows customers to create business-specific workflows using a no-code, drag-and-drop capability – further eliminating the manual effort out of security operations for faster response to threats. GreyMatter Workflows is native to ReliaQuest's AI-powered security operations platform, which already automates critical aspects of detection, containment, investigation and response across security teams' existing technology stacks. This new capability takes automation a step further, allowing GreyMatter to extend its reach beyond the security stack and interact directly with any business unit or end user to verify potential threats, including deeper integrations into communications tools like Microsoft Teams or Slack. GreyMatter Workflows includes out-of-the-box templates based on the most common use cases from ReliaQuest's enterprise customer base, with customization available to address more unique use cases specific to a customer's business needs. With drag-and-drop functionality, security teams can build, modify, and launch automations with zero-code design on day one. Customers can use AI Agents to more deeply customize all aspects of the investigation process. This approach reduces operational complexity, requires less human effort, and allows for faster response times, often within minutes. On average, customers using GreyMatter Workflows achieve a 64% decrease in their Mean Time to Respond and can remove over half of manual response activities. 'The threat landscape is accelerating, but the operational workflows used to detect and contain those threats haven't kept up,' said Brian Foster, President of Product and Technical Operations at ReliaQuest.
