Building Security in a Dynamic Environment

Antidote Health’s team was evolving its infrastructure and security stack in parallel with company growth. Rather than locking into a rigid model early, the team prioritized flexibility and speed.

“We needed a way to stay on top of security signals without slowing the team down.”

As new tools were introduced and configurations changed, alert volume increased and context was spread across systems. Managing investigations manually would have required significant internal investment.

The goal was clear: establish strong security coverage without hiring additional SOC analysts.

Evaluating and Selecting the Right Approach

Antidote evaluated several approaches to modernizing its security operations, including AI SOC tools. The focus was not just on features, but on finding a model that could support a fast-changing environment, in a highly regulated industry, without adding operational overhead or requiring a rigid setup.

“We were looking for something that could adapt with us, not something that required us to adapt to it.”

Across the solutions tested, Daylight stood out for its combination of flexibility, comprehensive investigation capabilities, and ability to operate across a changing stack.

The team validated this approach during a proof of concept (POC), where Daylight demonstrated how quickly it could integrate, add new integrations, and deliver value.

During the POC, Daylight integrated all the tools in Antidote Health's environment, set up customized detection rules on cloud, identity, and SaaS applications to ensure full coverage, and built a context layer for the AI SOC investigation engine.

From Alert Management to Operational Clarity

With Daylight in place, Antidote Health was able to offload alert triage and investigation, reducing the burden on its internal team and eliminating the need to hire additional SOC analysts or build an internal SOC function.

A key part of Daylight’s operating model is its SOC team — experienced security practitioners with deep backgrounds in incident response and threat hunting. This brings a level of expertise that is typically not accessible to lean internal teams. Rather than acting as a traditional MDR layer, the team operates as an extension of Antidote’s security function, providing 24/7 coverage and ongoing collaboration. The teams work together regularly to think through new detections, edge cases, and evolving risks.

“Daylight takes care of the full MDR cycle, so we don’t have to manage it ourselves”

“It allows us to stay focused on building and improving our security posture.”

Security That Scales with the Business

For Antidote Health, security is an enabler of growth.

By leveraging a flexible, adaptive security operations model, the company now has a foundation that can scale alongside its membership.

Daylight is the foundation of this model. It provides continuous coverage, operational flexibility, and access to a highly experienced SOC team. That team works alongside Antidote on an ongoing basis—from day-to-day investigations to regular collaboration, including recurring sessions focused on new detections and edge cases.

“We have confidence that security is being handled, even as things change. That’s critical for a company growing at our pace.”

A Model Built for Modern Teams

Antidote Health’s approach reflects a broader shift in how modern companies think about security operations.

Rather than building rigid systems upfront, teams are looking for adaptable models that can evolve with their infrastructure and support growth without adding operational overhead.

With Daylight, Antidote Health was able to implement a security operations approach that aligns with how modern cloud-first companies operate: fast, flexible, and built for scale.
