Crogl calls it a Knowledge Engine for Security Operations, and the idea is simple: analysts are drowning in alerts, and cutting corners isn'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 "Iron Man suit" for security researchers. The goal isn't to replace the team. It'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's coming at Black Hat, and why the best defense in cybersecurity might just be showing up and sharing what you know.
