About Stairwell
We founded Stairwell in 2019 to operate in computer and network security. We’re a team of 11-50 employees, providing a security platform for SOC, IR, and threat intelligence teams. Our approach emphasizes continuous file analysis and AI threat intelligence at scale. We collect, store, and continuously reassess every executable file and indicator of compromise across systems.
Our platform offers a private and cost-effective alternative for threat intelligence. It includes:
- AI Triage & Malware Analysis: We analyze files without execution, using AI to determine behavior, context, and intent based on static and behavioral features.
- Malware Variant Discovery: We identify polymorphic malware and its variants (repacked, re-signed, modified) over time, mapping malware families.
- Instant Investigation with Run To Ground: This connects a single indicator of compromise (IOC) to its full history, including loaders, droppers, payloads, and infrastructure, which improves EDR detections.
- Private Vault for Your Data: We preserve enterprise executables, continuously scan your environment with the latest threat intelligence, and provide encrypted, isolated storage.
Our services are for SOC analysts, threat intelligence analysts, incident response/forensics teams, and IT teams.
