Introducing Genomic AI: Enabling A Transformation in Threat Detection
Francis Cianfrocca, CEO & Founder, InsightCyber
In cybersecurity, datasets drive knowledge, and knowledge drives results. But as environments grow more complex, extracting meaningful insights from data is increasingly difficult. Meanwhile, threat actors exploit that complexity to find new paths to disruption. Existing approaches are not keeping pace. Today, even the most advanced machine learning solutions struggle to analyze the scale, variety, and velocity of operational telemetry in real time. The result is a fragmented picture of risk—often reactive, noisy, and incomplete.
Recent advances in artificial intelligence, particularly transformers and LLMs, have opened new doors. These models exhibit remarkable abilities to understand and generate human language by identifying deep structure and semantics. But applying similar approaches to cybersecurity data remains a challenge. Complex data required for deep behavioral analysis to find threats across an organization’s increasingly complex digital and operational environment—like network traffic, application logs, device telemetry, or user activity—poses distinct hurdles:
- Datasets are massive, diverse, and tightly bound by security and privacy constraints.
- Datasets come from heterogeneous sources with no unified ontology.
- There is no comprehensive, standardized model of real-world technical or business processes.
- Without a shared semantic structure, insights generated by AI cannot easily be integrated into autonomous workflows.
Enter Genomic AI
At InsightCyber, we built Genomic AI to address these challenges. Just as LLMs model the structure of language, Genomic AI models the structure of processes—capturing the “syntax” of how systems, users, and networks behave over time.
Our key insight is that real-world processes are inherently linguistic. They follow patterns, express relationships, and evolve with time. Genomic AI constructs high-dimensional behavioral models from time-series telemetry. These models allow us to recognize when something deviates from normal—whether it’s a security breach, an operational anomaly, or early signs of system failure.
Our Powerful Threat Detection AI
At the heart of our Genomic AI based cybersecurity offering is our threat detection super-agent. Deployed in customer environments, it continuously analyzes live data streams, constructing detailed process models in real time. It rapidly detects subtle anomalies with extraordinary precision by referencing a growing library of digital threat markers—behavioral indicators learned from our years of experience.
Our genomic threat detection engine preserves the privacy of customer data, reducing data movement and costs. Its deep process comprehension powers autonomous decision-making, providing immediate, actionable recommendations.
Why Process Comprehension Matters
Traditional detection tools rely heavily on rules, signatures, or predefined heuristics. They work relatively well against known threats but struggle with evolving attack patterns—especially from leading ransomware groups and advanced persistent threats (APTs) that leverage zero-day exploits and stolen credentials. Moreover, the sheer scale of telemetry overwhelms existing systems. As a result, threats often remain undetected until damage is already done.
Genomic AI flips this paradigm. By deeply understanding how assets, users, and systems normally behave, it becomes possible to detect threats based on subtle deviations—without requiring prior knowledge such as known TTPs, malware signatures, or vulnerability data. We treat each connected asset as having its own digital DNA, and every organization as having a unique genomic profile. Just as genomics in medicine helps detect diseases before symptoms appear, Cyber Genomics helps detect threats before they escalate.
Delivering Tangible Security Advantages
With InsightCyber’s Genomic AI, organizations gain multiple strategic benefits:
- Real-time detection and faster response – By analyzing behavior continuously, threats are caught as early as possible.
- Generalized threat recognition – Detecting behavioral shifts is agnostic to specific threat vectors and strengthens both vulnerability management and CTI-driven, rule-based detection—whether the attack is utilizing a zero-day or stolen credentials.
- Cross-tool and cross-dataset correlation – InsightCyber links patterns across data silos, regardless of tooling or lack of unified ontologies.
- Lower false positive rates – Deep contextual understanding reduces alert noise, improving SOC efficiency.
- Runtime defense – Threats are detected during live system operation, not just at initial inspection.
- Scalability with data growth – The system is built to handle growing volumes of telemetry without loss in accuracy.
- Predictive capabilities – By learning from past behavior, the system anticipates and flags emerging threats before impact.
How It Works in Practice
Our proprietary lightweight sensors monitor network activity and system behavior in real time. These sensors extract and process behavioral features, which are enriched using pretrained digital threat markers.
From these inputs, InsightCyber builds and refines a dynamic threat model customized for each client environment. It identifies not only technical exploits but also identity misuse, lateral movement, and stealthy command-and-control activity. Unlike tools that simply flag anomalies, Genomic AI understands what those anomalies mean in the context of the environment.
This approach has already demonstrated success across a range of complex, mission-critical deployments—from power generation systems to urban infrastructure. By combining deep AI modeling with operational realism, Genomic AI offers an unprecedented level of cybersecurity insight.
