Challenge
When the incumbent MSSP closed an alert, Select Equity's security team had no way to see why. The provider ran a black-box service on an aging legacy SIEM, and the team filled the gaps by hand. Select Equity manages about $30 billion for its clients, and its security leaders could see AI-driven attacks becoming the norm. They wanted an agentic SOC now. Building one in-house would take too long, and waiting for a provider to bolt AI onto an old service was a bet they didn't want to make.
A black-box provider on an aging SIEM
The old setup created work instead of removing it. False positives piled up, analysts triaged them manually, and the legacy SIEM left blind spots the team couldn't see into. The MSSP shared no reasoning behind how it handled alerts. The firm also needed to own its security data and query it directly, which the old model didn't allow. Switching carried its own cost, since a new provider meant paying for two services at once.
Solution
Working with the Google Cloud Security team, TENEX.AI brought the firm's CTO and security leader a complete answer: Google SecOps Enterprise, Google Threat Intelligence, a Mandiant IR retainer and the TENEX.AI 24/7 SOC.
Live on Google SecOps in 21 days
Select Equity evaluated TENEX.AI against another Google SecOps partner MSSP. TENEX.AI's agentic approach to MDR, built from the ground up on Google SecOps, decided it.
“Once they saw our agentic approach to managed detection and response, that was it.”

The firm signed in Q4 2025 on a 3-year term covering three Google products. Flexible billing timed the first payment to the end of the incumbent contract in August 2026, so Select Equity never paid for two providers. TENEX.AI stood up the service in 21 days and operationalized Google SecOps before the old contract ran out.
Today, AI agents triage and investigate every in-scope alert. A named TENEX.AI analyst owns every consequential call. The reasoning and evidence behind every case are visible to Select Equity's team, and Google SecOps stays the system of record.
Scaling with Select Equity
Select Equity owns its Google SecOps license and its data, so it can grow without a re-platform and take its data with it. The firm plans to increase its investment in Google security solutions and chose TENEX.AI for its deep Google expertise to support that growth.
