ANY.RUN has been a forefront platform in the field of threat intelligence. Artificial intelligence is revolutionizing SOCs, as they call them – Security Operations Centers – by providing detailed Threat Intelligence Feeds. This cutting-edge community service automatically picks up live IOCs provided by more than 15,000 SOCs and 500,000 cyber intelligence analysts globally. ANY.RUN enhances the power of SOC operations with interactive, real-time threat analysis. It addresses the growing issue of analyst burnout.
The platform enables analysts to observe the entire attack chain as it unfolds, capturing every detail from initial process execution to network connections, registry changes, and data exfiltration attempts. This new capability greatly increases the triage process. It further makes automated evidence collection easier, leading to a more effective cyber incident response.
Real-Time Analysis and Enhanced Efficiency
ANY.RUN’s Threat Intelligence Feeds equip analysts with important real-time insight into current threats, allowing security teams to stay informed and one step ahead. The platform provides an end-to-end perspective on the entire attack chain. This systemwide approach provides a complete picture – more than the piecemeal information often produced by outdated, siloed systems. This whole-of-society approach makes it possible to detect and respond to emerging threats more quickly, before they spread widely.
Utilization of ANY.RUN has led to an extraordinary 3x boost in SOC efficacy. With the platform’s extraction of IOCs taking seconds, analysts are able to move through their investigations more quickly. Seamless data integration for partners Automatic systems can capture behavioral data passively. This seamless integration both increases the speed and improves the accuracy at which organizations can identify threats.
Additionally, ANY.RUN contributes to decreasing Tier 1 analysts’ workload by up to 20%. This decrease enables analysts to focus on more high level objectives. More importantly, it greatly alleviates the stress that typically leads to burnout in this high-pressure profession. ANY.RUN’s collaborative environment combined with their clean and easy workflow improves each team member’s productivity. It increases cybersecurity professionals’ overall job satisfaction.
Minimizing Escalations and Automating Tasks
Beyond streamlining efficiency, ANY.RUN’s platform has been successful at reducing escalations in SOC operations. This 30% drop in Tier 1 to Tier 2 escalations has been clearly observed since adopting ANY.RUN’s services. The 50% reduction in escalations is evidence that our analysts and IAs are handling issues more efficiently at the first tier. This success eases the pressure on their MLS Next Pro and MLS rosters.
The introduction of automated evidence collection cuts down on the manual tasks that analysts are often inundated with. ANY.RUN helps you automate these tasks to save your time for more valuable things. This enables you to spend more time on important strategy, planning, and high-level analytic work rather than doing repetitive tasks. Moving timekeeping away from the team increases productivity. It’s a huge boost to the mental health of analysts, who too often work under highly stressful conditions.
Take, for example, the sandbox technology from ANY.RUN, which can completely unmask QR code-based phishing attacks in less than 1 minute. On one analysis day, the platform even uncovered an entire phishing attack chain. It illustrated how attackers took advantage of ClickUp to deliver a phishing email forcing users to a fraudulent Microsoft 365 login page. Such fast, actionable insights are indispensable for SOCs hoping to be one step ahead of ever-evolving cyber threats.
Comprehensive Threat Landscape Insights
ANY.RUN’s Threat Intelligence Feeds go beyond speed to offer comprehensive insights into today’s evolving threat landscape. The indicators generated through real-time sandbox investigations reflect ongoing phishing kits, redirect chains, and active infrastructure being used by cybercriminals. This current intelligence makes sure that SOCs are able to respond quickly and as smartly as attackers’ new methodologies in order to stop threats.
In contrast to conventional systems that run the risk of providing a narrow viewpoint, ANY.RUN provides an all-encompassing view of every threat situation. This full-spectrum view is critical to getting inside the OODA loop of more complex cyber attacks to bolster our defensive posture. Analysts are provided with more actionable intelligence that greatly improves their capacity to develop effective countermeasures to burgeoning threats.
ANY.RUN allows deep dives into attack chains. This arms cybersecurity teams with the insight they require to create targeted, proactive defense strategies. The platform not only aids in identifying vulnerabilities but helps analysts learn from previous incidents, fostering a culture of continuous improvement within SOCs.
