Vega autonomy ladder. TRIAGE: Documented; INVESTIGATE: Documented; SHOW WORK: Documented; ACT ON SIGN-OFF: Not documented; ACT ALONE, WITHIN LIMITS: Not documented.
Best for: Detection-led teams that want autonomous triage with readable queries, and keep response with analysts

Criterion
Artemis
Vega
Higher
Investigates end to end 20%Why
Artemis: Correlates identity, cloud, endpoint and SaaS data against a living model of the environment and investigates autonomously; its Cursor case cites 96% of investigations resolved autonomously (Artemis's figure).
Artemis: Acts alone only where you have pre-authorised it, with approval set per action and per connector, impact-checked containment that is reversible by design, and a who, what and why audit trail.
Vega: Verdicts come with prioritised next actions, such as isolating a host or rotating keys, for analysts to carry out; Vega does not state that it executes response, so there is no autonomy to set.
Artemis: Investigations and each proposed action come with evidence and an impact preview; step-level agent reasoning is described less specifically than at the leaders.
Vega: Each conclusion shows the Vega KQL query behind it, each alert is marked escalated or not with its reasoning, and every hunt step shows its work.
Artemis: 225+ connectors, ingesting SIEMs such as Splunk, Microsoft Sentinel and CrowdStrike NG-SIEM and querying stores such as Snowflake, BigQuery and AWS Security Lake in place.
Artemis: Ingests hot-path data and queries high-volume data where it lives, and describes on-premises execution of response; tenancy, residency and attestations are not described.
Vega: Data stays where it lives (no migration, ingestion or egress, Vega says); hosting options, tenancy, residency and attestations are not described.
Artemis: An AI-native SOAR builder aimed at teams maintaining a SOAR, with 300+ actions, a Splunk SOAR connector and automatic proposals for playbook updates; playbooks are rebuilt rather than translated.
A filled rung means the vendor's own pages describe that step. It does not measure how well or how often the step works in your environment.
Documented by Artemis only: act on sign-off and act alone, within limits. Documented by Vega only: show work. Documented by both: triage and investigate.
A partial rung counts as not documented in these sentences.
HOSTING SaaS; hot-path data ingested, high-volume data queried where it lives; on-premises execution of response actions described. Tenancy, residency and attestations: Not published.
HOSTING SaaS on Vega's Security Analytics Mesh; Vega says no migration, ingestion or egress. Tenancy, residency and attestations: Not published.
Which should a lean team choose?
Choose Artemis if
it matters most that it autonomy you can dial (9/10)
it matters most that it investigates end to end (8/10)
Choose Artemis Security if you want to decide action by action and connector by connector what may run unattended, or if you maintain a SOAR and want an AI-native builder beside it. Look elsewhere first if you need published pricing or hosting details, or a vendor with a longer track record.
Choose Vega if
it matters most that it shows its reasoning (9/10)
it matters most that it investigates end to end (8/10)
Choose Vega if your team is detection-led and wants autonomous triage whose every conclusion can be checked against the query behind it. Look elsewhere first if you want the platform to carry out response actions, or need published connectors, hosting details or pricing.
Frequently asked questions
Which gives a team more control over autonomy, Artemis or Vega?
Artemis on our autonomy criterion (Artemis 9/10, Vega 4/10). Artemis: Acts alone only where you have pre-authorised it, with approval set per action and per connector, impact-checked containment that is reversible by design, and a who, what and why audit trail. Vega: Verdicts come with prioritised next actions, such as isolating a host or rotating keys, for analysts to carry out; Vega does not state that it executes response, so there is no autonomy to set.
Can Artemis or Vega act without a person?
Artemis documents actions on sign-off, and documents unattended actions within limits: Acts alone only where pre-authorised, reversible by design. Vega does not document actions on sign-off natively, and No autonomous response described. Rungs documented: Artemis 4.5 of 5, Vega 3 of 5.
Which is easier to price, Artemis or Vega?
Artemis: Not published. Vega: Not published. Pricing clarity scores: Artemis 2/10, Vega 2/10.
