1. Time and Skill Shortages

Challenge: Many organizations struggle with limited security resources and a shortage of skilled cybersecurity professionals. According to research by the World Economic Forum, the global shortage of cyber professionals will reach nearly 4 million in 2024, with a projected talent gap of 85 million by 2030. This significant shortfall could result in an estimated $8.5 trillion in unrealized annual revenue within just six years. Already in 2024, 71% of organizations report unfilled cybersecurity positions, while 95% of cyber leaders believe more effort is needed to recruit talent into the cybersecurity workforce.

SOC Prime helps effectively combat the issue of high false positives, which can lead to alert fatigue and overlook real threats. It achieves this through custom-crafted content, developed from scratch and tailored to specific environments, ensuring high relevance and accuracy. Each content piece undergoes thorough quality checks by an experienced security team, guaranteeing its effectiveness. Furthermore, the content is continuously updated to keep pace with the latest threats, maintaining robust defenses against evolving cyber challenges.

3.   Staying Ahead of Emerging Threats

Challenge: The cybersecurity landscape is constantly evolving, with new threats emerging regularly. Staying ahead of these threats requires timely updates to detection content and strategies.

Solution: Threat Detection Marketplace

• Rapid Content Delivery: Ensures that detection rules are updated promptly to address new and emerging threats.
• Community-Driven Intelligence: Benefits from a collaborative approach, where experts share the latest threat insights and detection methods.
• Proactive Defense: Helps organizations maintain a proactive security posture by providing up-to-date threat detection content.
• Automation: Automates the updating and deployment of detection content, reducing manual effort and ensuring timely responses to new threats.

Organizations benefit from a diverse and comprehensive set of detection rules that keep them ahead of emerging threats. 

4. Attack Surface Visibility and Blind Spots

Challenge: Ensuring all relevant logs are collected is foundational for robust cybersecurity. It enables organizations to detect and respond to incidents promptly, provides forensic data necessary for investigating breaches, and helps maintain compliance with regulatory standards.

Solution: Attack Detective

• Data Audit: Analyze log data collected in your data planes to determine your coverage and potential gaps in log sources.
• Content Audit: Improve threat visibility by auto-mapping your rules & queries to MITRE ATT&CK with AI which does not leak your code.
• Rules for Alerting: Get prioritized SIEM use cases, easily configurable and ready-to-deploy as low-noise and high-value alerts.
• Threat Hunting: Deliver real-time, researched, and packaged threat hunting capability to your organization.· 

“This allowed Deloitte Brazil to maximize available threat hunting resources while increasing the speed of threat detection operations, including a 200% increase in identification to expedite investigation and remediation.”

Attack Detective enhances attack surface visibility by examining the data collected by the SIEM solution and mapping it to the MITRE ATT&CK® framework. This analysis helps identify any blind spots in the SIEM’s coverage, revealing which critical log sources are missing. This insight enables organizations to strategically adjust their SIEM configuration to capture a more comprehensive set of data. Importantly, the Data Audit component of Attack Detective also reveals which threat actors and tools the SIEM is blind to, as it identifies logs generated by these entities that are not being collected.

Additionally, Attack Detective allows for scanning the environment with custom hunting scenarios. It quickly filters through the results, maps them to ATT&CK, and then assists the users with verifying these results in their data plane. This crucial functionality helps organizations understand their exposure to specific threats and refine their data collection practices, ensuring no critical security data is overlooked. This comprehensive approach not only improves detection capabilities but also ensures that potential threats are accurately identified and addressed promptly.

5. Unified Detection Content Management and Improved Efficiency

Challenge: Managing and automating security content across multiple platforms can be complex and time-consuming, leading to inefficiencies and potential gaps in security coverage.

Solution: Uncoder AI and Threat Detection Marketplace
