Security analysts are overwhelmed by too many alerts and struggle to identify complex attack patterns that span multiple events and systems. Creating the complex rules needed for detection often requires advanced Python skills. Even with these skills, correlating individual rules into cohesive logic can be overwhelming and code-heavy.
Our Correlation Rule Builder simplifies this time-consuming process. It features a visual drag-and-drop interface to connect logic blocks, reducing the need for in-depth coding knowledge. Additionally, a YAML editor is integrated for users who prefer precise, code-based rule definition. This dual approach provides flexibility and speed for crafting highly effective detection rules. The Correlation Rule Builder also enhances rule testing, allowing users to simulate rules against historical or synthetic data to ensure accuracy.
To fully grasp the impact of implementing new correlation rules within our detection workflow, I've begun mapping out the step-by-step user flows. This analysis will help us identify necessary modifications to existing processes and pinpoint the need for new supporting features. Creating this e2e flow chart offers several key benefits:
Holistic Understanding: Visualizing the entire process provides a comprehensive picture of how new correlation rules will integrate into the security workflow.
Impact Analysis: The flow chart highlights specific points where changes will be required, streamlining their implementation and minimizing disruption.
Feature Identification: This exercise aids in pinpointing areas where new features or enhancements are needed to support the successful integration of correlation rules.
After multiple iterations, we've developed a comprehensive design demo showcasing the project's vision upon completion. This demo serves several strategic purposes:
Stakeholder Alignment: We'll use it to present our plan to key stakeholders, securing buy-in regarding the product and design direction.
Customer Engagement: By sharing the demo with prospects and existing customers, we'll generate early excitement about our strategy and invite their feedback.
Development Acceleration: This proactive design approach fosters confidence and speeds up development, allowing us to move forward decisively.
Disclaimer: Please note that this demo represents our design vision, not the final product.
