Intezer raises $33M to provide security teams with AI that emulates human analysts
The startups’s Autonomous SOC platform uses AI models to simulate human analysts’ decision-making process, effectively functioning as an extension of the security team.
Intezer, which develops AI-powered technology for autonomous security operations, announced on Tuesday that it has raised $33 million in Series C funding, bringing its total capital raised to $60M. The funding round was led by Norwest Venture Partners, with participation from all existing investors, including Intel Capital, OpenView, Magma, and Alon Cohen, founder of CyberArk.
Intezer’s Autonomous SOC platform uses AI models to simulate human analysts’ decision-making process, effectively functioning as an extension of the security team. Intezer integrates with the customer’s existing security tools to automatically investigate endpoint alerts, SIEM alerts, user-reported phishing, and more. According to the company, its platform triages new alerts in two minutes, automatically resolves false positives, and escalates only 4% of alerts to the SOC team with clear findings and recommended incident response actions, leading to faster response times for critical threats.
"I know what it's like to work in SOC and incident response teams, while every day you have too much work, too many alerts, and not enough people. That's how I became obsessed with helping security teams facing resource shortages. That's why we built Intezer, with a mission to arm security professionals with AI and automation to virtually extend their capacity by 10x,” said Itai Tevet, CEO and co-founder of Intezer. “This investment accelerates our growth and strengthens our leadership position in the new, exciting category of AI SOC platforms.”
