Stage 3

ANALYZE

Validating Detection and Correlation Capabilities

Organizations with mature SIEM/SOC platforms face increasingly complex challenges in threat detection and analysis:

Massive daily log volumes obscuring real threats
Unvalidated correlation rule effectiveness
Uncertainty in detection coverage across the attack surface
Limited threat hunting capability validation

Our Approach

DigiDations collects attack techniques from threat organizations and organizes them into scenarios using the kill chain or MITRE ATT&CK framework. It systematically validates the correlation analysis and threat hunting capabilities of SIEM/SOC platforms, allowing users to create more rules that improve alert accuracy and reduce alert fatigue.

Solution Details

The DigiDations Atlas platform offers 1,900 built-in scenarios with various validation actions. Users can customize scenarios to complete Stage Three validation, triggering alerts for security products and correlation analysis.

01. Create validation scenarios for threat actors (initial access, C2, endpoint execution)

02. Execute multi-stage correlation actions with multiple validators.

03. Generate and deliver correlation analysis reports based on results.

Key Benefits

Evidence-based validation of correlation rules
Significant reduction in alert fatigue
Enhanced detection accuracy and coverage
Improved threat hunting capabilities
Optimized SOC team efficiency

Real-world Application

A major internet company invested significantly in its SIEM platform but struggled to identify genuine threats amid millions of daily security logs, especially after an internal data breach.

Our validation revealed:

Lateral movement detection correlation rule coverage under 60%
Log collection interruptions in critical data sources
False positive rate for high-risk alerts exceeding 40%

Post-implementation results:

Increased detection coverage to over 90%
Reduced false positive rate to under 10%
Streamlined log collection and analysis
Enhanced threat hunting effectiveness

Through systematic validation and optimization, our SIEM platform evolved from a basic log aggregator to a proactive threat detection system. We now have confidence in our detection capabilities and can measure our improvement over time.
