"The hardest triage failure to notice is when decisions get made before proof exists. If responders rely on partial signals (labels, hash matches, reputation), they end up approving or escalating cases without seeing what the file or link actually does. That uncertainty fuels false positives, missed real threats, slower containment, and higher cost per case, while giving attackers more time before anyone has confidence in the verdict."
"High-performing teams reduce this risk by validating behavior at triage, not later. Sandboxes make that practical by showing real execution: process activity, network calls, persistence, and the full attack chain. For example, with ANY.RUN's interactive sandbox, teams report that in ~90% of cases, they can see the full attack chain within ~60 seconds, turning unclear alerts into evidence-backed decisions early in the workflow."
Triage processes often fail when security teams make decisions based on partial signals like labels and reputation scores rather than actual execution evidence. This uncertainty leads to false positives, missed real threats, slower containment, and increased cost per case. High-performing teams address this by validating behavior early using interactive sandboxes that reveal process activity, network calls, persistence mechanisms, and complete attack chains. Real-world examples show that teams can identify full attack chains within 60 seconds using execution evidence, transforming unclear alerts into confident, evidence-backed decisions early in the investigation workflow. This approach significantly reduces mean time to response and controls escalation costs.
