Key points
- Malware reverse-engineering time drops from 4-6 weeks to roughly 8 hours using OpenAI Daybreak.
- SentinelOne uses the tool to compare more samples and find connections between unrelated threats.
- Gregor Stewart says human accountability remains necessary for architectural security decisions.
The shift enables SentinelOne to map a broader section of the malware landscape, helping defenders spot shared components across unrelated samples. Stewart notes that while AI accelerates analysis, human accountability remains essential for architectural decisions. The company is also integrating these capabilities into its development workflow, aiming to give more team members access to expert-level security insights that were previously limited to a small group of specialists.
