Crogl patents technology for searching disparate cybersecurity data without normalization

Cybersecurity startup Crogl has patented a new method to query disparate data sets without requiring complex normalization. This approach aims to simplify threat hunting and breach investigations. Crogl's technology creates a "synonym" index that maps similar concepts across various systems and datasets. This allows analysts to find relevant information without needing to centralize or standardize data beforehand, addressing the challenge of data sprawl. The patent acknowledges that full data normalization is often impractical. Crogl's semantic layer helps bridge the gap, enabling easier correlation and anomaly detection, even with diverse and unstandardized data sources.
