Security operations teams often struggle with high alert volumes that lack essential context on attack progression.
Adversaries hide within standard administrative tooling and normal network traffic like DNS and LDAP, operating quietly for weeks before generating priority alarms.
Protocol-aware network telemetry helps connect these events into coherent timelines.
Attackers are well aware of how security systems work. Rather than moving quickly, they prefer to hide within a company’s daily operations and wait in the gaps between alerts. It can take days or even weeks in a corporate environment before they generate a high-priority alert.
How suspicious movements look like normal tasks
Individual actions by attackers can easily be confused with the daily operations of a business, such as address lookup requests, network connections, or identity checks. At the same time, attackers are increasingly using artificial intelligence to automate information collection and move faster.
How network data aggregation helps
Keeping records of network activity and traffic helps experts connect disparate events into a single timeline. Companies like Corelight offer network detection and response data designed to maintain the necessary context during investigations and the use of artificial intelligence.
