How Security Automation Improves Business Protection: 5.37M Autonomous Decisions

By Patrick Duggan, DugganUSA LLC • April 2, 2026

DugganUSA built an autonomous security platform that has made 5.37 million decisions without human intervention — blocking 1.96 million threats across organizations in 46 countries. Here's how security automation transforms business protection.

The Speed Problem

Manual threat analysis takes hours or days. Attackers move in minutes. The average time from initial access to lateral movement is under 2 hours. DugganUSA's autonomous cascade pipeline processes new threat indicators in real-time, pushing STIX 2.1 bundles and OPNsense blocklists to subscriber SIEMs and firewalls within minutes of detection.

How DugganUSA Automation Works

• Automated Collection: 15 upstream feeds monitored continuously — URLhaus, ThreatFox, Feodo Tracker, Spamhaus DROP, PhishTank, OpenPhish, and more.
• Automated Analysis: Multi-framework scoring (CARVER, DREAD, Diamond Model, ACH) applied without analyst involvement.
• Automated Distribution: STIX 2.1 bundles generated for Splunk, Sentinel, CrowdStrike. OPNsense blocklists (IP, domain, URL) updated continuously.
• Automated Compliance: KYC/AML screening across 11M+ documents including Epstein DOJ records, Panama Papers, and federal court decisions.

Business Impact

• 43-day speed advantage: DugganUSA detected threats 43 days before Zscaler in documented cases
• 63% cost reduction: DugganUSA is 63% cheaper than legacy vendors like Recorded Future
• Zero analyst overhead: 5.37M decisions made autonomously
• Free tier available: 500 API calls/day at $0/month — no barrier to entry
