Intezer is a cybersecurity company that automates security operations center work through what it calls genetic malware analysis, comparing binary code against a database of previously seen threats to identify reused or related malicious code. Alon Cohen, the founder of CyberArk, along with Itai Tevet and Roy Halevi founded Intezer in 2016 in Tel Aviv, with Tevet and Halevi drawing on backgrounds in Israeli military cyber units. Intezer's technology has been credited with surfacing code-level connections in major attacks, including ties tracked to the WannaCry and Turla campaigns.
Instead of relying only on signatures or behavioral heuristics, Intezer's engine breaks files down into code fragments and checks each one against a genetic database spanning both malicious and legitimate software, which lets it flag reused attacker code even in previously unseen files. The current product line, marketed as an autonomous SOC platform, extends that core analysis into automated triage and investigation of security alerts across endpoint, phishing, and other alert sources, aiming to cut the manual investigation work analysts do on repetitive alerts.
Intezer fits security teams of any size that want to cut down alert fatigue, from lean IT teams at mid-size companies up to enterprise SOCs and MSSPs managing multiple clients. A free Community tier covers basic file analysis, while paid Starter and Enterprise plans are billed per protected host per year, starting around $60 per host annually; larger deployments need a custom quote.
