Detection and response

Detections that catch real attacks, each with a tested response.

We improve how threats are detected and handled: tuning SIEM use cases, mapping coverage to MITRE ATT&CK, writing SOAR playbooks and setting up threat hunting. Each detection has an owner, a test and a documented response.

Incident notification duties differ by sector and market, for example reporting to the CBUAE or your sector regulator in the UAE and to the NCA in Saudi Arabia, so playbooks state who must be told and by when.

What the work involves

  • Detection engineering

    SIEM use cases tuned to cut noise, each with test data and an owner.

  • Coverage mapping

    Detections mapped to MITRE ATT&CK techniques, so gaps are visible and prioritised.

  • Response playbooks

    SOAR playbooks and manual runbooks for the incidents you see most often.

  • Risk-based priorities

    Work ranked by the threats and findings that matter most to your organisation, not by tool features.

  • Evidence for reviewers

    Each change documented, so internal audit and regulators can see what was done and why.

When detection and response need work

The signs are alert fatigue, unknown coverage and incidents found by someone outside the security team.

  • Analysts close most alerts as noise.
  • Nobody can say which attack techniques are covered.
  • Recent incidents were reported by users or third parties before they were detected.
