AUSTIN,
Texas, July 9, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Command Zero,
the industry's first autonomous and user-led cyber investigation
platform, emerged from stealth today with $21 Million in seed funding, led by Andreessen
Horowitz with participation from Insight Partners and over 60 cyber
industry thought leaders and executives. Using encoded expert
knowledge, automation and advanced Language Learning Models (LLMs),
Command Zero is solving the most significant bottleneck in security
operations: investigations.
Despite increasing investments in cybersecurity, adversaries
outpace most organizations when it comes to adopting innovation.
This leaves defenders struggling with the fundamentals in complex
enterprise environments. Automation has improved detection and
triaging capabilities, yet all escalated cases still require
tedious manual investigations. This makes investigations the
most significant bottleneck for security operations. Manually
investigating all escalated cases by tier-2 and tier-3 analysts is
an impossible task for most organizations today. Complex incidents
often result in resource starvation for security operations, or the
need to hire third party remediation and response firms.
Investigations are made of questions and answers. Depending on
the complexity, investigations can be formed by dozens or thousands
of questions. Command Zero combines expert investigative questions,
autonomous and user-led methods on a federated data model to
transform investigations. For the first time in cyber, the platform
enables asking questions in a technology independent way across all
universal data sources in modern enterprises. Using the platform,
analysts can leverage automation and LLMs to increase speed,
accuracy and consistency of investigations.
Today, human intelligence and creativity remain irreplaceable in
investigations. Supporting human qualities, machines excel at
repetitive tasks and can process vast amounts of data at incredible
speeds. Command Zero leverages both strengths by incorporating
automation and advanced LLMs to augment human investigators. During
an investigation, each question and response is interpreted and
analyzed, in context of the investigation and organization. This
removes the laborious work from SecOps teams and helps analysts
better interpret the responses from data sources. This unique
approach also allows users to know which questions to ask, how to
interpret answers and build complete narratives of what occurred.
The same capabilities also generate timelines and end-to-end
reports for investigations, saving valuable cycles for all
analysts.
Founded by a seasoned leadership team with extensive experience
in security operations and incident response, Command Zero delivers
a consistent, efficient and scalable path for investigations and
threat hunting. Co-founders Dov
Yoran , Dean De Beer
and Alfred Huger have
led seven successful cybersecurity acquisitions to date including
exits to Symantec, McAfee, Sourcefire, Cisco and IBM.
"Running escalations to ground truth has always been the biggest
challenge in cyber. To date, conducting thorough cyber
investigations has relied on individual expertise, and has been
exclusive to select few advanced organizations," said Dov Yoran, co-founder and CEO. "Command Zero
removes technology expertise barriers, dramatically reduces
repetitive manual work and speeds up investigations. Improving
institutional knowledge, automation and consistent outcomes are
transforming how organizations run threat hunting and
investigations at scale."
Command Zero's research team carefully creates and curates
investigative sequences and technology-specific investigation
questions. The platform combines decades of experience in incident
response, automation capabilities with an advanced and thoughtful
LLM implementation to deliver expert outcomes for all users.
