<p>Crogl calls it a Knowledge Engine for Security Operations, and the idea is simple: analysts are drowning in alerts, and cutting corners isn&#39;t the fix. Every alert deserves a real look. So Crogl built an AI that works alongside the analyst, not instead of them, an assistant one investor called an &quot;Iron Man suit&quot; for security researchers. The goal isn&#39;t to replace the team. It&#39;s to make every single analyst as effective as the whole team combined. Monzy Merza, Co-founder and CEO of Crogl, joins us today on BarCode to talk community, what&#39;s coming at Black Hat, and why the best defense in cybersecurity might just be showing up and sharing what you know.</p><p><br></p><p>SYMLINKS</p><p>[Crogl] -<a href="https://crogl.com" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer"> https://crogl.com</a> </p><p>An AI-powered security operations platform that helps security teams investigate alerts, perform threat hunting, and automate cybersecurity workflows while keeping customer data within their own environment.</p><p>[Monzy Mirza – LinkedIn] - https://www.linkedin.com/in/monzymerza/ </p><p>The official LinkedIn profile of Monzy Mirza, Co-founder and CEO of Crogl, where he shares insights on AI, cybersecurity, and security operations.</p><p>[MITRE ATT&amp;CK® Framework] -<a href="https://attack.mitre.org/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer"> https://attack.mitre.org/</a> </p><p>A globally recognized cybersecurity knowledge base maintained by MITRE that documents adversary tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs).
