2020. Intezer raises $15M for its DNA-style approach to identifying malware code



Israeli startup Intezer has secured $15 million in funding for its innovative approach to malware analysis, inspired by the principles of DNA sequencing. Intezer refers to its technique as "genetic malware analysis," leveraging the understanding that all software, both legitimate and malicious, is composed of pre-existing code. By mapping out different malware and identifying code reuse and similarities, Intezer can effectively detect and counter new threats. Cybercriminals often reuse code for efficiency, but this practice also poses challenges for launching new attack campaigns. Starting from scratch becomes exponentially more difficult for them. Intezer's groundbreaking technology disrupts these efforts, enabling proactive measures against emerging threats.
