In cybersecurity, initial alert triage is like detective work. It demands quick, detailed, and accurate analysis to separate real threats from false positives. But most Security Operations Centers (SOCs) face overwhelming challenges including skyrocketing alert volumes, resource shortages, and limited time for investigations.
At Intezer, we’ve reimagined the triage process by bringing reverse engineering (RE)—a skill traditionally reserved for senior analysts—right to the front of your alert pipeline. Our AI-driven approach empowers your Tier 1 SOC team to leverage expert-level analysis from the outset, transforming how alerts are triaged.
Reverse Engineering for Your Tier 1 SOC
What is Reverse Engineering?
Reverse engineering is the cornerstone of advanced threat analysis and one of the most specialized skills in cybersecurity. It involves deconstructing files, software, or malware to understand their behavior and assess risk. However, this critical expertise is rare and not something that can be learned quickly or easily.
Why is Reverse Engineering Important?
Traditional triage and analysis often prioritize speed at the expense of accuracy and only provide surface-level insights. This approach can lead to missed context, incomplete investigations, and unnecessary escalations.
On the other hand, reverse engineering goes much deeper. It reveals the true capabilities of malware—even when it employs advanced sandbox evasion techniques, relies on external dependencies, or has environment-specific requirements.
Intezer’s Autonomous SOC platform was designed to bridge this gap. By integrating reverse engineering principles at the Tier 1 level, Intezer’s AI is able to automate this deeper analysis, offering organizations insights that no other tools or experienced human analysts can achieve.
Powerful Insights From Powerful AI
The Intezer Autonomous SOC is more than just a pretty UI with some basic OpenAI prompt engineering tacked on. Its power lies in the sophistication of our AI, which enables these deep insights through advanced reverse engineering.
At the heart of our platform is a unique Genetic Analysis that identifies reused code or patterns at the binary level. This allows us to accurately attribute malware to specific families and threat actors, delivering a superior level of precision.
By automating complex processes like memory forensics and deep endpoint inspection, Intezer’s Autonomous SOC eliminates the need for resource-intensive, human-led workflows.
Additional benefits includes:
- Immediate Triage: Manual reverse engineering can take hours (or even days) to analyze a single alert. Intezer’s platform achieves the same depth of analysis in seconds, filtering out 97% of false positives, and enabling teams to focus on the alerts that demand their attention.
- Consistent, High Quality Investigations: Our technology ensures every alert receives the same meticulous level of analysis, eliminating inconsistencies. In fact, Intezer’s Autonomous SOC identified 60% of confirmed threats other detection systems had misclassified as low or medium severity.
- Quick Time to Value: Intezer integrates seamlessly into your existing workflows in minutes, requiring no engineering resources for setup. It then delivers actionable results directly to your EDR, SOAR, email, or ticketing system.
