Endpoint threat prevention, detection, investigation and containment
Centralised security monitoring
Collect the right logs, build detections that fit your environment and run response from documented workflows.
The problem
“We need one place to investigate across endpoints, identity and cloud.”
Investigations span several consoles, and each source stores data in a different format and for a different length of time.
Alert volume grows faster than the team. Without tuning, the genuine incident sits in the same queue as noise.
Proposed approach
- Step 1
Start with the sources that answer questions
Prioritise endpoint, identity and cloud audit logs. Adding every source on day one creates cost and noise without improving detection.
- Step 2
Write detections against real techniques
Build and test detection content for the attack techniques you care about, and retire rules that never produce useful alerts.
- Step 3
Document playbooks and escalation
Define triage steps, severity levels and who is called at night. Keep playbooks short enough to follow during an incident.
Implementation considerations
- Log volume, retention and the cost model of the platform
- Parsing and normalisation of the sources in scope
- In-house, co-managed or fully managed operation
- Data residency and access control for log data
Expected operational benefits
- One investigation view across sources
- Detection content tuned to the environment
- Consistent response regardless of who is on shift
