Interview with Founders of Embedd Security

On the Zero Signal Podcast, the hosts preview RSA micro-events and then interview Embed Security co-founders Seth Somersett (CEO) and Jeffrey Johns (CTO), who launched the company in 2024 after careers at NSA, FireEye/Mandiant, Google, Meta, and others. They discuss the SOC’s operational crisis—thousands of daily alerts, manual triage, burnout, and uninvestigated incidents—and how Embed aims to reduce investigation time and alert noise using agentic AI with human oversight, transparency, and a “chain of evidence” that shows its reasoning. They argue the analyst role will shift toward validating AI-driven investigations, that organizational context and feedback are key, and that investigation, detection engineering, and threat hunting will converge. They cite customer results like ~90% false-positive reduction and ~155 hours saved per month, predict major disruption to MDR/MSP economics, and emphasize domain-specific models and trust-building metrics.
