Command Zero Selected as Top 10 Finalist for RSAC™ 2025 Conference 20th Annual Innovation Sandbox Contest

Command Zero Recognized for Command Zero Investigations Platform

AUSTIN, Texas, April 8, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Command Zero, the industry's first autonomous and AI-assisted cyber investigation platform, has been named one of the Top 10 Finalists for the 20^th annual RSAC™ 2025 Conference Innovation Sandbox contest for its work delivering tier-2+ analysis capabilities in security operations. Command Zero will present its technology to a panel of renowned industry judges and a live in-person audience on Monday, April 28 at RSAC 2025 Conference at the Moscone Center in San Francisco.

The RSAC™ Innovation Sandbox contest, celebrating its 20th anniversary in 2025, has become the world's premier showcase for the cybersecurity startup community as promising young cybersecurity companies showcase their groundbreaking technologies and compete for the title of "Most Innovative Startup." The competition is widely recognized as a catapult for success as the Top 10 Finalists have collectively celebrated more than 90 acquisitions and received $16.4 billion in investments over the last 19 years. Command Zero will have three minutes to pitch the panel of judges before a question-and-answer round. For the first time, each of the Top 10 Finalists in 2025 will receive a $5 million investment to drive cybersecurity innovation.

 Complex investigations are the biggest challenge and the main bottleneck for security operations teams. While automation has improved detection, triaging and other tier-1 tasks, escalated cases still demand thorough human analysis—making investigations the choke point for many teams. Tier-2 and tier-3 analysts—along with incident responders—are highly skilled yet underserved. They too need automation, collaboration tools, and expert content to thrive.

Command Zero solves these challenges by empowering tier-2 and tier-3 analysts with AI-assisted investigation capabilities. By combining encoded expert knowledge, advanced LLMs, and an intuitive interface, the platform bridges the expertise gap and enhances efficiency without losing the human touch required for nuanced analysis. Analysts can now conduct faster, more accurate investigations across even the most complex environments.

"Command Zero set out to tackle the most significant bottleneck for security operations today: Complex tier-2+ analysis. The platform reduces the mean time to understand and respond to threats by streamlining threat hunting and complex investigations." said Dov Yoran, co-founder and CEO. "The encoded expertise, advanced LLMs and the best investigative UI empower analysts to deliver their best work while building institutional knowledge. We appreciate our customers, partners and The RSAC Innovation Sandbox contest judges for recognizing our differentiated solution to this problem."

The RSAC™ Innovation Sandbox contest kicks off at 9:30 AM PT on Monday, April 28 and winners will be announced at approximately noon the same day. The panel of renowned expert judges includes David Chen, Head of Global Technology Investment Banking at Morgan Stanley; Dorit Dor, Chief Technology Officer at Check Point Software Technologies; Niloofar Razi Howe, Operating Partner at Capitol Meridian Partners; Paul Kocher, Independent Researcher; Nasrin Rezai, SVP & CISO at Verizon; and Christopher Young, Investor and former CEO at McAfee and former Microsoft Exec; Hugh Thompson, RSAC™ Executive Chairman and Program Committee Chair of RSAC™ Conference, will return to host the contest.
