Idea
Hybrid ML platform reducing false positives and alert fatigue in enterprise security operations at scale.
Research Paper
Core Innovation
This paper introduces a two-stage detection framework combining high-recall YARA rule filtering with ML-based false positive reduction. It leverages seedless synthetic data generation for training without labeled data and incorporates active learning to continuously improve model precision in production environments.
Why It Matters
Security teams face overwhelming alert volumes and skill gaps that hinder effective threat detection. This solution lowers manual maintenance and false positives, enabling analysts to focus on true threats. It scales to massive data environments, improving security posture while reducing operational costs and analyst burnout.
Market Size (TAM)
$20–50B TAM for enterprise cybersecurity detection platforms; $5–10B SAM from large enterprises and MSSPs. Driven by increasing cyber threats and demand for scalable, automated security solutions.

Research Paper Overview
Democratizing ML for Enterprise Security: A Self-Sustained Attack Detection Framework
Summary
This paper presents a two-stage hybrid framework combining loose YARA rules and ML classifiers to improve threat detection in enterprise security. It uses synthetic data generation and active learning to reduce false positives and adapt over time, enabling scalable, low-maintenance security operations. Tested in production on massive log volumes, it significantly reduces alerts to manageable levels for human analysts.
