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

    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. Topics include: Monzy's career arc from a national nuclear lab to founding a cybersecurity startup What compelled him to enter an already-crowded security market The biggest daily pain points facing SOC analysts How AI complements the work of security practitioners Whether AI will eventually replace jobs in data security Guest: Monzy Merza, Co-Founder and CEO, CroglHost: Brandon Krieger, CEO & vCISO Advisor Watch Full Episode: YouTube.com/BrandonKriegerListen: DailyCyber.ca
