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
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.
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.
Intezer: SOC 2 Type II examination completed; hosted on AWS and Azure with logical tenant separation; no customer choice of hosting or region and no retention terms described.
Vega: Data stays where it lives (no migration, ingestion or egress, Vega says); hosting options, tenancy, residency and attestations are not described.
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 Intezer only: none. Documented by Vega only: show work. Documented by both: triage and investigate.
A partial rung counts as not documented in these sentences.

Which should a lean team choose?
Choose Intezer if
it matters most that it investigates end to end (8/10)
it matters most that it shows its reasoning (7/10)
Choose Intezer if endpoint and malware alerts dominate your queue, or if you want a cost unit that does not rise with alert volume. Look elsewhere first if you need fine-grained autonomy settings or to retire a SOAR.
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.
