Cybereason Defense Platform

MalOp, short for Malicious Operation, is Cybereason's core concept: the platform correlates endpoint events into a single narrative showing the root cause, timeline, and affected machines of an attack. Instead of flooding analysts with isolated alerts, it stitches related activity into one investigation story.

Cybereason was founded in 2012 by a team including CEO Lior Div, with roots in the Israeli military's Unit 8200 cyber unit. The company is headquartered in Boston with research and development in Tel Aviv.

Traditional antivirus relies largely on signature matching, while Cybereason uses behavioral analytics and EDR-style correlation to catch novel attacks that carry no known signature. It sits in the endpoint detection and response category, competing with products like CrowdStrike Falcon and SentinelOne.

Yes, its platform is designed for cross-machine correlation, letting analysts pivot from one suspicious process to every linked file, network connection, and endpoint in the environment. Endpoint sensors report to a central management console, often cloud-hosted, that supports enterprise-wide hunting.
