February 2026 · ContraForce Team · 5 min read The economics of managed security have always been challenging: more customers means more incidents, and more incidents means more analysts. ContraForce breaks this pattern by automating the work that used to require human attention at every step.

The Scaling Problem

Traditional security operations scale linearly. Add 10 new customers, and you need proportionally more analyst capacity to handle their incidents. This creates a ceiling on growth — you can only expand as fast as you can hire and train. The bottleneck isn’t technology. It’s the manual work between detection and resolution: triaging alerts, gathering context, investigating entities, executing response actions, and documenting outcomes.

How ContraForce Changes the Math

ContraForce automates each stage of the incident lifecycle:
StageTraditional ApproachContraForce Approach
TriageAnalyst reviews each alert manuallySecurity Delivery Agents analyze automatically
Context GatheringAnalyst queries multiple toolsEntity Insights aggregate sign-in logs, device timelines, and threat intel
InvestigationAnalyst correlates data across systemsAgents correlate related incidents and entity activity
ResponseAnalyst executes actions in each tenantGamebooks execute consistent response actions across workspaces
DocumentationAnalyst writes incident notesAgents document findings and actions automatically

Multi-Tenant Operations at Scale

Managing security across dozens or hundreds of customer workspaces introduces complexity that compounds the scaling problem. ContraForce addresses this directly:
  • Command Dashboard provides a unified view of incidents across all workspaces — no switching between customer portals
  • Workspace filters persist across pages, letting you focus on specific customers without reconfiguring views
  • Gamebooks execute the same response actions consistently across every workspace
  • Security Delivery Agents operate across your entire customer base from a single deployment

Operational Efficiency in Practice

Service providers using ContraForce report measurable operational improvements:
  • Incident triage time drops from minutes to seconds with automated agent analysis
  • Response consistency improves because Gamebooks enforce standardized workflows
  • Analyst capacity increases as routine investigation work shifts to agents
  • Customer coverage expands without proportional team growth

The Role of Automation

Automation doesn’t replace your analysts — it amplifies them. SDAs handle the repetitive investigation work while your team focuses on complex incidents, customer relationships, and strategic improvements. The goal isn’t fewer people. It’s more customers served at higher quality without burning out your team.

Quick Summary

  • Traditional security operations scale linearly with headcount
  • ContraForce automates triage, context gathering, investigation, response, and documentation
  • Multi-tenant features eliminate the overhead of managing separate customer environments
  • Security Delivery Agents handle routine work so analysts focus on high-value activities
  • Service providers scale customer coverage without proportional team growth
