Zero-day and Emerging Threats Defense

Vikas Kataria
Manager - Threat Investigation and Response, AiStrike
There were 97 zero-day vulnerabilities exploited in 2023, up from 62 in 2022. And increasingly, security operations teams have to keep up with news and updates on vulnerabilities that are found regularly, in addition to their day jobs. With the proliferation and sophistication of cybersecurity products, malicious actors will focus more on zero-days to gain access to organizations. The MOVEit zero-day is a prime example of the widespread effect a single zero-day can have. So, SOC teams challenged with staying up-to-date with zero-days and emerging threats need a way to effectively track, detect, and remediate these threats to their organizations.

In an era where cyber threats are evolving at an unprecedented pace, the need for emerging threat intelligence and response mechanisms has never been more critical. At AiStrike, we've pioneered a custom Large Language Model (LLM) designed to stay ahead of the curve by identifying and analyzing the latest emerging threats, indicators of compromise (IOCs), and tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) used by malicious actors. The AI automations also include the ability to simulate an attack pattern and understand business context to improve risk-based prioritization. Below is a sneak-peak at how we have developed this differentiated approach to cloud exposure management and how it’s supercharging cloud security operations.

Key Capabilities of Our Custom LLM

Web Scraping for Real-time Updates:

The LLM continuously scans thousands of sources to identify new threats, vulnerabilities, and threat actor campaigns. This includes blog posts, threat reports, and security bulletins. Security teams can automatically stay updated on emerging cyber threats, freeing up time and resources for more strategic work.

Investigating millions of CSPM alerts — where do you even start?

I got this question last week from one of the largest financial institutions: “When you’re looking at millions of CSPM alerts, do you actually investigate them or just treat them as hygiene issues and assign them to the cloud team?” Honestly, it’s a fair question—and one a lot of teams are probably asking themselves.

AI-Powered Automation for Threat Investigation and Response

In today's landscape of relentless cyber-attacks, organizations are facing increasing threats to their critical assets. Security detection tools like SIEM, XDR, and CNAPP generate vast volumes of alerts—often lacking sufficient context—leaving security teams overwhelmed with alert backlog. With limited resources and insufficient business context, prioritizing critical alerts that require immediate action becomes a significant challenge.
