Detect, Investigate, Respond. From Build to Managed.
Engineer detection logic that catches real threats, then scale into fully managed cloud SOC operations. Whether you build your own SIEM practice or hand us the keys, every alert gets context, every incident gets response, and every environment gets coverage.
More Data, Fewer Answers, No One Watching
Enterprise environments generate petabytes of telemetry across on-premises and cloud infrastructure. Without sophisticated detection logic and dedicated response teams, threats move faster than your analysts can investigate.
Data Overload and Detection Noise
Enterprise environments generate petabytes of log data daily. Firewalls, endpoints, cloud services, applications, and identity systems produce endless streams of events. Separating signal from noise is impossible without sophisticated detection logic. Most SIEM deployments alert on thousands of daily events, drowning analysts in false positives. Your team spends 80% of time on triage, 20% on real threats. Many organizations ship their SIEM with default rules, which trigger everything and solve nothing.
Multi-Cloud Visibility Gaps
Each cloud provider generates telemetry in different formats, through different APIs, with different retention defaults. AWS CloudTrail logs look nothing like Azure Activity Logs. GCP Cloud Audit Logs use their own schema entirely. Kubernetes adds another layer of event data that lives outside the cloud provider's native tooling. Organizations running workloads across two or three clouds have three separate visibility silos. Threats that move laterally from an Azure AD compromise to an AWS account go undetected because no single team is watching the full picture.
Detection Without Response Is Just Notification
Most cloud security tools generate alerts. Very few take action. When a compromised IAM role starts provisioning EC2 instances for cryptomining at 2 AM, an alert in a dashboard does nothing. The role keeps running. The instances keep spinning. The bill keeps climbing. Without a team empowered to isolate workloads, revoke credentials, and block network paths in real time, detection is just expensive notification. Partners need someone who will act, not just inform.
Compliance and Forensics Under Pressure
Compliance frameworks (SOC 2, PCI DSS, HIPAA, NIST 800-53) mandate continuous monitoring and rapid incident reporting. Auditors ask: Do you have detective controls? Can you prove you have looked for threats? When an alert fires, investigation is manual and fragmented. Data is scattered across SIEM logs, endpoint telemetry, cloud audit logs, and application logs. Reconstructing an attack timeline means jumping between tools and hoping the data has not been purged. Without a mature detection program, audits become chaotic and expensive.
8 Pillars of Detection Excellence.
From data ingestion through managed response, our framework covers the full detection lifecycle. Build what you can, hand us what you cannot.
SIEM Implementation and Data Ingestion
Deploy and configure your SIEM across all data sources: endpoints, firewalls, cloud platforms, applications, identity systems, and infrastructure. We design data ingestion architecture for scale, normalize logs into a common schema, and enrich events with threat intelligence and asset context.
Detection Engineering and Rule Development
Build custom detection rules mapped to MITRE ATT&CK. We engineer detections specific to your environment, threat model, and risk profile. Rules evolve as threats evolve, tuned for precision over volume. Detection-as-code pipelines ensure rules are versioned, tested, and deployed like software.
Cloud-Native Threat Detection
Purpose-built detection logic for cloud attack patterns: IAM abuse, cross-account pivots, container escapes, serverless exploitation, and storage exfiltration. Every detection maps to MITRE ATT&CK Cloud Matrix and is tuned specifically for your cloud environment across AWS, Azure, and GCP.
24/7 Monitoring and Alert Triage
Every alert gets context before analyst review. Our team monitors your environments around the clock, enriching alerts with asset data, user risk scores, and threat intelligence. Alerts are prioritized and routed to the right team. Noise is filtered so your analysts are never paged for a false positive.
Active Containment and Response
When we confirm a threat, we act. Our team isolates compromised workloads, revokes stolen credentials, blocks malicious network paths, and terminates unauthorized resources. You authorize response actions during onboarding, and we execute in minutes, not hours. This is what separates managed response from managed alerting.
Threat Hunting and Forensics
Move beyond reactive alerting. We hunt for threats that do not trigger alerts: long-dwell compromises, privilege escalation chains, and data exfiltration via legitimate channels. After containment, we reconstruct attack timelines from CloudTrail, VPC flow logs, container events, and application telemetry. Every investigation produces a documented root cause report.
Compliance Reporting and Audit Ready
Automate compliance reporting for SOC 2, PCI DSS, HIPAA, and NIST 800-53. Evidence collection is automatic. Regulatory incident reports are delivered within days. Audits become validation of controls you already operate, not panicked data gathering.
Continuous Improvement and Posture Hardening
Every incident teaches us something about your environment. We feed findings back into detection rules, recommend configuration changes, and close the gaps attackers exploited. Detection logic is continuously refined based on threat intelligence. Your security posture improves with every engagement, not just after annual assessments.
From Log Collection to Autonomous Detection Operations
Every organization starts somewhere. Our maturity model gives you a clear path from passive log collection through managed detection to fully autonomous security operations.
Log Collection and Visibility
Logs are collected from some sources but not analyzed. Your SIEM is a log repository with no detection. Cloud providers generate native alerts, but nobody is watching consistently. Investigation is manual and slow. No compliance reporting. The first step is mapping what exists and establishing data ingestion architecture.
Detection Foundation
- Log source inventory and gap analysis
- Data ingestion architecture design
- Cloud environment discovery and mapping
- Baseline compliance assessment
Rule-Based Detection
Detection rules fire on known attack patterns. Alerts are generated daily. Cloud-native detections are deployed and tuned for your specific workloads. Analysts investigate with enriched context and recommended actions. False positives are actively managed. Compliance reporting is semi-automated.
Detection and Alerting
- MITRE ATT&CK rule mapping
- Custom detection rule development
- Cloud-native detection deployment
- Alert enrichment pipeline
Managed Detection and Response
CWS operates your detection program 24/7. Our team monitors, investigates, and contains threats on your behalf. Behavioral analytics establish baselines and detect anomalies. Authorized response actions are executed in minutes. Your team receives daily briefings and post-incident reports. You are informed after the threat is contained, not before.
Full Managed Operations
- 24/7 SOC coverage by CWS
- Active containment and response execution
- Behavioral analytics deployment
- Automated compliance reporting
Autonomous Detection Operations
Detection rules are continuously refined based on threat intelligence. Proactive threat hunting uncovers risks before they become incidents. Automated containment handles known patterns instantly. Continuous posture hardening closes gaps before attackers find them. Your detection program improves every month without adding headcount.
Autonomous SecOps
- Continuous threat hunting
- Detection-as-code pipeline
- Automated containment for known patterns
- Continuous posture hardening
Where Partners Apply This First
These are the three most common entry points for VARs, distributors, and ISVs building detection and response practices for their customers.
Enterprise Financial Services Detection
A financial services firm with 5,000 endpoints deployed SIEM covering all sources. We engineered 240 detection rules mapped to MITRE ATT&CK. Three months in, a detection fired: unusual registry access followed by credential dumping. Our SIEM correlated events, alerted immediately, and orchestrated response. Incident was contained in 12 minutes.
- 12 minute detection to containment
- Zero data exfiltration
- Forensics completed in 48 hours
Multi-Cloud Breach Containment
A channel partner's customer running workloads across AWS and Azure experienced a credential compromise that spread between cloud providers. The attacker used a stolen Azure AD token to access an AWS role through a federated trust. Our managed SOC detected the cross-cloud lateral movement within 14 minutes, revoked the compromised federation trust, isolated affected workloads in both clouds, and contained the breach before any data left the environment.
- Cross-cloud lateral movement contained in 14 minutes
- Zero data exfiltration across both cloud providers
- Full forensic timeline delivered within 48 hours
SaaS Company Compliance Automation
A SaaS vendor shipping to healthcare and finance customers needed SOC 2 compliance proof. We implemented SIEM with cloud log integration and built automated compliance reporting for SOC 2 Type II. Within 12 months, the company passed audit with evidence collected continuously by SIEM. Audit timeline was 50% shorter.
- SOC 2 Type II audit passed
- 100% automated compliance reporting
- Audit timeline reduced up to 50%
