Cyber Triage vs SandsBytes

Cyber Triage is an AI-powered platform for cyber incident and endpoint investigations. It ingests DFIR collections, EDR telemetry and disk images, including targeted collection and memory-image imports. Guided analysis combines heuristics, more than 40 malware-scanning engines, YARA rules and Hayabusa event-log analysis. The workflow scores artifacts, recommends related items and provides timeline views to help scope incidents. Investigators can review automated and generative-AI results with source references and explanations, and the product indicates when generative AI is used. Integrations include CrowdStrike Falcon, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint, SentinelOne, Splunk, IBM QRadar and IRIS; integrations are available with Team Edition. A seven-day evaluation provides a fully featured installer for up to two hosts. Standard Pro costs $3,500 a year for one investigator and 20,000 malware scans per week. Team plans are self-hosted for collaborative investigations.

SandsBytes is a cybersecurity investigation and incident response case-management platform for triage, threat hunting, evidence, indicators of compromise, and reporting. Its three products divide that work: Sands Investigate converts forensic artifacts into searchable, ECS-normalized records, enriches them with threat intelligence and external lookups, and flags indicator matches and suspicious patterns. Sands Manage supports collaborative cases with evidence, timelines, findings, task assignment, indicator tracking, and automated reports. Reports can be produced as PDF or DOCX files from configured templates. Sands Flow offers visual playbooks for enrichment pipelines, alert routing, and service-level escalation. Workflows can connect with external HTTP APIs, databases, queues, and file storage. The Hunt interface supports dashboard and table analysis, pivot filtering, CSV export, and bulk tagging. Deployment is self-hosted on 64-bit Ubuntu 20.04.6 LTS or later, accessed with Chrome, Firefox, or Edge; minimum resources are 6 CPU cores, 16 GB RAM, and 100 GB free storage. A license key expires after its specified validity period, and access is rejected until renewal. Pricing is on request.
