With potentially thousands of warnings flooding Security Operations Centers (SOCs) that something could be amiss, the sheer volume creates endless headaches for security teams. It\u2019s the newest cybersecurity nightmare in the AI era.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIn cyber, you have this interesting angle where AI doesn\u2019t only disrupt the \u2018normal\u2019 industry that everybody is familiar with, but it also disrupts how cyber attackers operate,\u201d said Intezer Co-founder and CEO Itai Tevet. \u201cThere\u2019s an arms race of AI not only on the defense side, but also on the offense side. So I think it\u2019s a very interesting dynamic.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Intezer aims to tackle the \u201cstaggering and unmanageable\u201d problem of limited human capacity in cyberspace. As AI empowers bad actors to target enterprises at record scale, the problem isn\u2019t a talent shortage&nbsp;<em>per se<\/em>, but that the sheer ability of technology will mean humans will never be physically able to catch up with the new threat landscape, including the 97% of false positive alerts that cause distraction and anxiety among overworked teams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The company is part of a growing category of cybersecurity tools that use AI as an extension of human analysts to manage high alert volumes. It develops an AI-powered SOC analyst to investigate security alerts from existing tools and triage them in minutes, automatically resolving false positives and escalating only critical threats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Inside Cybersecurity\u2019s AI Arms Race - 0043, Itai Tevet\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/zSvTl1WcAak?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Founded roughly a decade ago but experiencing a surge in activity in 2024\/2025, it recently raised $33 million in Series C funding by Norwest Venture Partners, bringing its total to $60 million. Its clients include giants like NVIDIA, Salesforce, MGM Resorts, and others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As technology increases across all industries, AI will become essential for the survival of SOC teams amid rising threats from bad actors, nation-states, and others. According to Tevet, non-adopters could soon become obsolete.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And those who embrace the technology won\u2019t be&nbsp;<em>replaced&nbsp;<\/em>by it, but rather be&nbsp;<em>elevated<\/em>&nbsp;by it; human roles will no longer be distracted by small-scale attacks, and they will be able to graduate to more superior positions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cFrom a global perspective, but in my niche, I have a very clear idea of what\u2019s going to happen,\u201d added Tevet. \u201cIt all has to do with the nature of the SOC team job, which is going to absolutely change dramatically. Humans will supervise the AI instead of chasing tickets all day long.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With false positives overwhelming human SOC teams, companies like Intezer are deploying AI analysts to combat AI-powered attackers at machine speed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":106,"featured_media":7808,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[95,3,181,8],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7802","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-hide-on-homepage","category-entrepreneurs","category-tv","category-technology"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 -
