What is Cobalt Monitoring Intelligence?

Cobalt Monitoring Intelligence is an AI-powered physical security platform built by Cobalt AI. It connects to your existing cameras, access control systems, and edge devices — then reasons across all data sources to surface context, identify root cause, and automate response workflows. The platform deploys dedicated AI Handlers for each incident type — Door Forced Open (DFO), Door Held Open (DHO), tailgating, unauthorized entry, gun detection, person down, trespassing, and loitering — each following the Detect → Reason → Act → Resolve chain. Built on over 10 years of in-house security operatio

What makes Cobalt AI different from other AI security platforms?

Cobalt AI pioneered the judgment-first approach to AI security monitoring. Where most platforms focus on detection or noise reduction, Cobalt Monitoring Intelligence focuses on accelerating human judgment — the AI gathers context, correlates data across video and access control, identifies root cause, and surfaces the information your security operators need to make faster, more confident decisions. With over 10 years of in-house security operations expertise, Cobalt AI brings operational depth that pure-technology competitors cannot match.

How does Cobalt AI accelerate human judgment in security operations?

AI Handlers do the investigative legwork automatically — correlating video, badge logs, and device health data to surface root cause on every event. Up to 94% of events are resolved without human escalation, with an average handler response time under 15 seconds. The events that require human judgment arrive with full context — root cause, correlated video, recommended actions — so your security operators make the call faster and with more confidence.

What systems does Cobalt Monitoring Intelligence integrate with?

Cobalt Monitoring Intelligence integrates with major access control systems including LenelS2 OnGuard, Genetec, C·CURE 9000, Avigilon, Avigilon Alta (Openpath), S2 NetBox, Brivo, and Acre Feenics. For video, it works with Eagle Eye Networks, Milestone XProtect, Genetec, and any RTSP/RTSPS camera stream. The platform also connects to Okta for SSO, ServiceNow, Salesforce, and Slack for ticketing and workflow, and Slack, Phone/SMS, and Email for communication. It layers over your existing infrastructure with no overhaul required.

How is Cobalt Monitoring Intelligence different from video analytics?

Video analytics tells you what is in a frame. Cobalt Monitoring Intelligence reasons across your entire security stack — correlating video with access control data, badge logs, device health, and historical patterns to determine root cause and take automated action. A video analytics platform might alert on a Door Forced Open. Cobalt Monitoring Intelligence cross-references the video, checks badge logs, identifies that a faulty REX sensor caused the alarm, creates a service ticket, and clears the event — all in seconds. That is the difference between detection and judgment.

Does Cobalt AI replace security operators?

No. Cobalt Monitoring Intelligence is designed to accelerate human judgment, not replace it. AI Handlers investigate events automatically and resolve the ones that don't require human attention — device faults, known issues, and false alarms. This frees your security operators to focus on the events that genuinely need human expertise. At a single enterprise deployment, Cobalt returns over 6,000 hours of operator time per month.

What is a GSOC and how does Cobalt AI modernize it?

A Global Security Operations Center (GSOC) is the centralized hub where enterprise security teams monitor physical security events across all sites. Traditional GSOCs are overwhelmed by alarm volume. Cobalt Monitoring Intelligence modernizes the GSOC by deploying AI Handlers that investigate events automatically, surface real threats early, provide root cause on every event, and automate response workflows end-to-end. The GSOC transforms from reactive alarm triage into a proactive intelligence center.

What threats can Cobalt Monitoring Intelligence handle?

Cobalt Monitoring Intelligence handles Door Forced Open (DFO), Door Held Open (DHO), tailgating and unauthorized entry, gun detection with immediate security operator notification, person down and fall events, trespassing, loitering, and unattended objects. Each event type has its own dedicated AI Handler that follows the Detect → Reason → Act → Resolve chain.
