SentinelOne Cuts Malware Analysis From 4 to 6 Weeks to 8 Hours With AI
OpenAI has published a case study on SentinelOne's malware analysis work with Daybreak. Shorter analysis times, the company says, free up capacity to investigate more threats.
On October 14 (local time), OpenAI published a case study on malware analysis at the security firm SentinelOne. OpenAI said that with Daybreak, an analysis that previously took 4 to 6 weeks was cut down to roughly 8 hours. The work involves pulling malware apart and figuring out how it operates.
It is a case of AI taking on work that used to tie up experienced researchers for weeks at a time. OpenAI explained that the AI finished in about 8 hours what a top researcher would spend 4 to 6 weeks on, at a human level of quality. In other words, the shorter turnaround came without a drop in the quality of the analysis.
Faster analysis also widens the range of threats researchers can look into. According to OpenAI, SentinelOne gained the capacity to examine more malware and to map how individual threats connect to one another and how those relationships shift over time.
