In one paragraph
Artemis Security and Vega both appear in this guide's vendor directory. On the autonomy ladder, Artemis Security's own material describes Level 4, Autonomous, human-approved actions and Vega's describes Level 2, Directed autonomous hunts. Both state 2 of the twelve capabilities in our matrix. Artemis Security states hunts start without a per-hunt request and response actions staged for human approval where Vega does not; Vega states queries data where it already lives, detection changes kept in version control, publishes an open framework or specification and states MCP support where Artemis Security does not. This guide does not pick a winner; which differences matter depends on your must-haves.

Where do Artemis Security and Vega differ?
Artemis Security states, Vega does not publish
- Hunts start without a per-hunt request: Continuous hunts run daily against a growing library and "100+ intelligence feeds".
- Response actions staged for human approval: Response actions are staged and require human confirmation.
Vega states, Artemis Security does not publish
- Queries data where it already lives: Federated analytics: "No migration, ingestion, or egress."
- Detection changes kept in version control: "Every change has a diff, an author, and an approver."
- Publishes an open framework or specification: Detection Skills, released 4 August 2026 as an open specification built on the Agent Skills format.
- States MCP support: MCP support.
Both state
Findings arrive with corroboration or shown working, Maps hunts or detections to MITRE ATT&CK
Neither states
New rules tested on historical data before release, Names its intelligence sources, States a security attestation, Publishes a list price

Where does each run, and what controls does it describe?
Artemis Security
- "Hot-path data ingested, high-volume data queried where it lives."
- Ingested sources named: Splunk, Microsoft Sentinel, Exabeam, LogRhythm, CrowdStrike NG-SIEM.
- Queried in place: AWS Athena, AWS Security Lake, Google SecOps, BigQuery, Snowflake, Elasticsearch, ClickHouse, Trino.
- Identity: Entra ID, Okta, Auth0, JumpCloud, PingOne. EDR: CrowdStrike, Defender XDR, SentinelOne, Carbon Black, Cortex XDR. The connectors page states 225+ connectors in 17 categories.
- Response actions are staged and require human confirmation.
Vega
- Federated analytics that queries every source in place: "No migration, ingestion, or egress."
- MCP support. The connectors page does not name individual connectors. A sandbox is offered at sandbox.vega.io.
- "Every step of the hunt shows its work."
- "Detections live in source control, reviewed like any other code change"; "Every change has a diff, an author, and an approver."
Which should you look at first?
Look at Artemis Security first if your must-haves include hunts start without a per-hunt request or response actions staged for human approval.
Look at Vega first if your must-haves include queries data where it already lives or detection changes kept in version control.
Either way, put both through the same trial questions, and try the calculator with your own must-haves.
