DailyCyber The Truth About Cyber Security with Brandon Krieger

AI-Powered Security Operations & The Future of the SOC | DailyCyber 296 with Monzy Merza

Episode Summary

Security operations centers are buried — enterprises now average more than 4,000 alerts a day and manage to investigate just over a third of them. In this episode, Brandon Krieger talks with Monzy Merza, Co-Founder and CEO of Crogl, about building an AI "knowledge engine" designed to close that gap. Monzy traces his path from 12 years as an applied security researcher at Sandia National Laboratories, through leadership roles in security research at Splunk and cybersecurity go-to-market at Databricks, to co-founding Crogl in 2023 — a company that raised $30M (a $25M Series A led by Menlo Ventures and a $5M seed led by Tola Capital) to build what TechCrunch called an AI "Iron Man suit" for security analysts.
