Detection-as-Code Platform: A Must-Have for Enterprises

To drive and enhance our mission of delivering preemptive MDR to enterprises, Deepwatch has invested heavily to reimagine our industry-leading detection platform. 

Over the last year, the Deepwatch team updated its proprietary Detection Engine and Detection Catalog, completely overhauling Dynamic Risk Scoring (DRS) logic for risk-based alerting. Our detection-as-code approach to building a premier detection platform equips our customers to adapt to emerging threats in a short time with confidence.

Deepwatch’s new DRS engine is a cornerstone for enterprises determined to strengthen their security posture, reduce operational noise, and respond to threats with unprecedented speed and precision. Below is a comprehensive look at why customers should choose DRS, the pain points it addresses, and the transformative benefits it delivers.

The Pain Points Enterprises Face and How Deepwatch’s Platform Solves Them 

1. Drowning in Alerts, Starving for Signal

Modern security teams are overwhelmed by a flood of alerts, many of which are false positives. This alert fatigue makes it difficult to identify genuine threats, delays response times, and can lead to burnout or missed incidents.

Solution:  Industry-Leading Reduction in False Positives

Deepwatch leverages advanced threat analytics and contextual criteria defined by your organization to determine the likelihood that a threat will escalate into a critical incident. By correlating and dynamically assigning risk values to every alert, the platform filters out noise and surfaces only the most relevant threats. Providing better visibility and contextual data helps expedite investigation and eventually remediation of threats. 

• Significant reduction in False Positives: Customers will experience a significant decrease in false positives through better detection logic and logic tuning, freeing security teams to focus on real threats instead of chasing benign alerts.

Solution: High-Fidelity, Low-Volume Alerting

The DRS engine provides high-fidelity, low-volume alerts tailored to your organization’s unique risk profile and desired outcomes. This delivers:

• Significant Improvement in Threat Detection: The platform surfaces more true positives while drastically reducing the overall alert volume.

2. Static Risk in a Dynamic World

Traditional risk scoring methods are static and fail to adapt to the constantly changing threat landscape. This results in outdated risk profiles and an inability to prioritize threats based on real-time context.

3. Context is King—and It’s Missing

Security teams often lack the ability to assess risk dynamically as new data and behaviors emerge. Without real-time, context-aware risk scoring, organizations struggle to detect sophisticated attacks or adapt to evolving attacker tactics.

Solution: Real-Time, Contextual Risk Assessment

Unlike static models, the DRS engine continuously analyzes a multitude of parameters, including user behavior, transactional patterns, device attributes, and more to generate risk scores at every interaction point. This analysis enables:

• Real-Time Threat Detection: Immediate identification and prioritization of emerging risks as they unfold from 15 data points. Deepwatch monitors over 2400 signatures through a curated list of over 300 detections, ensuring effective coverage across MITRE ATT&CK.
• Adaptive Scoring: Risk scores fluctuate based on real-time actions and behaviors, ensuring that the risk profile always reflects the current threat landscape. 
• Capture Assets and Identities: Automated through search and pulls data from Azure, Okta, etc. to enrich context for accurate detection of threats.

4. Misaligned Focus, Wasted Resources

Every wasted analyst hour on a low-priority alert is one not spent stopping a breach. Without a smarter way to correlate signals and assess risk, security investments are squandered on the wrong problems, while true threats lurk undetected.

Solution: Precision Response and Automation

With precise risk scoring, Deepwatch enables fast, confident, and programmatic responses to security threats. 

• Efficient Resource Allocation: Security teams can focus their efforts on high-impact threats, optimizing the use of limited resources.

5. Compliance Without Clarity

Audits, reporting, and risk metrics shouldn’t feel like an afterthought. Security leaders need transparency, not templates—tools that illuminate their posture in real time and prove measurable progress without the manual gymnastics.

Solution: Enhanced Compliance and Reporting

The platform’s real-time risk scoring and detailed metrics make it easier to meet regulatory requirements and provide evidence of continuous risk management. This real-time reporting supports:

• Clear Audit Trails: Every risk decision is documented and traceable.
• Regulatory Alignment: Organizations can demonstrate proactive risk management to auditors and stakeholders.
