Phishing investigations put pressure on SOC teams at several points at once: analysts need to uncover hidden activity, make a confident decision from incomplete evidence, prepare the case for escalation, and then determine whether the threat extends beyond a single incident. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Every manual step adds time to the response. It also ties up analyst capacity in work that could be spent investigating and containing real threats. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
ANY.RUN<\/a>\u2019s latest product updates are designed around those gaps, helping teams move faster from detection to investigation, response, and proactive defense<\/strong> while keeping the evidence and context connected throughout the process. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Phishing isn\u2019t just another alert category competing for analysts\u2019 attention. In several critical industries, it shows up in more than 70% of investigations<\/strong>: ANY.RUN\u2019s 2026 data puts phishing exposure at 73.4% in finance<\/strong> and 72.2% in manufacturing<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n And the consequences extend far beyond the inbox. Microsoft Incident Response found that 28% of the breaches it investigated started with phishing or social engineering<\/strong>, including newer techniques such as device code phishing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The financial stakes are just as hard to ignore. In 2025, the FBI received 191,561 phishing and spoofing complaints<\/strong>, while Business Email Compromise alone generated $3.05 billion in reported US losses<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n For SOC teams, that combination means high investigation volume, increasingly evasive attacks, and very little room for slow decisions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Finding a suspicious email or URL is only the beginning. Analysts still need to understand what happened, collect enough evidence to act, pass the case to the right team, and make sure the same threat is easier to catch next time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n With phishing showing up in such a large share of SOC investigations, simply putting more analyst time into every suspicious URL is not a sustainable answer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The bigger opportunity is to cut the manual work between detection, investigation, response, and follow-up<\/strong>. That is the idea behind several of ANY.RUN\u2019s latest product updates: give analysts more of the evidence they need upfront, make the handoff easier, and turn each investigation into a starting point for proactive defense. <\/p>\n\n\n\nPhishing Remains a High-Volume, High-Cost SOC Problem <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
