Security analytics

Security analytics software enables organizations to detect and respond to threats by analyzing security data.

Security analytics solutions help security teams identify anomalies, prioritize alerts, and automate incident response. By leveraging machine learning and behavioral modeling, these platforms provide a data-driven understanding of organizational risk, enabling proactive threat hunting and improved security posture.

The challenge

Your organization faces a relentless barrage of cyberattacks, overwhelming your security team with alerts they can’t possibly investigate manually. Traditional security tools generate a flood of false positives, burying genuine threats in a mountain of noise. This leads to delayed incident response, increased risk of data breaches, and a constant struggle to maintain compliance with evolving regulations, ultimately impacting your bottom line and reputation.

The solution

Security analytics addresses your unique challenges through modern solutions and key capabilities.

Behavioral analytics

Leverages machine learning to establish baselines of normal behavior for users and entities, identifying anomalies that traditional rules might miss. This enables detection of insider threats and compromised credentials.

Automated incident response

Automates security orchestration and response (SOAR) capabilities, allowing for the creation of automated playbooks. These playbooks can immediately isolate infected hosts, block malicious IPs, or revoke access for compromised users.

Threat intelligence integration

Enriches security data with external threat intelligence feeds, providing additional context and insights into potential threats. This helps security teams prioritize alerts and respond more effectively.

Security data lake

Provides a centralized repository for storing all security data, regardless of format, at any scale. This enables comprehensive analysis and investigation of security incidents.

Agentic AI

Integrates autonomous agents that proactively hunt for threats, summarize complex incidents for executives, and translate natural language queries into complex technical searches. This reduces the learning curve for analysts.

MITRE att&ck mapping

Maps detections to the MITRE ATT&CK framework, providing a clear understanding of an organization's coverage and blind spots in its defensive posture. This enables targeted improvements to security controls and detection rules.

How to evaluate security analytics

1

Data ingestion capacity

Evaluate the platform's ability to handle the volume and variety of data sources in your environment. Consider scalability and performance under peak load.

2

Detection accuracy

Assess the platform's ability to accurately detect threats with low false-positive rates. Look for evidence of machine learning and behavioral analytics capabilities.

3

Automation capabilities

Evaluate the platform's ability to automate incident response workflows. Consider the depth and breadth of its SOAR capabilities.

4

Compliance reporting

Assess the platform's ability to generate reports for compliance requirements. Ensure it supports the regulations relevant to your industry.

Questions to ask suppliers

Use these questions during supplier evaluations to ensure you're choosing the right partner for your needs.

Security analytics RFP guide
  • How does your platform handle data normalization across disparate cloud environments?
  • What percentage of our current log volume can be filtered out at the ingestion layer to save on storage costs?
  • Can you provide a documented Software Bill of Materials for your platform to ensure supply chain transparency?
  • How frequently are your detection rules updated, and are these updates automatically pushed to our environment?
