Security leaders are constantly told to “get more visibility.”
So they do. Logs from every endpoint, flow data from the network, control plane events from the cloud, and identity telemetry from multiple providers. Everything goes into the SIEM.
But here’s the problem:
Ingesting more data doesn’t mean you’re covered. It often means you’re drowning.
In today’s security programs, the difference between telemetry and coverage is critical. And the gap between them is where risk lives.
The Visibility Mirage
It’s easy to mistake logging for monitoring, or dashboards for awareness. But most organizations aren’t short on data—they’re short on usable signal.
Some common pitfalls:
- Logs are collected but never normalized or parsed
- Alert rules are misaligned or outdated
- No scoring exists to prioritize data by exposure or asset value
- Coverage is assumed based on green dashboards, not verified against MITRE or active threat patterns
Why CRE Redefines Coverage
Deepwatch Cyber Risk and Exposure (Deepwatch CRE) helps solve the telemetry trap by:
- Mapping Actual Coverage
Deepwatch CRE automatically maps detection rules and log sources to MITRE techniques—highlighting where coverage exists, and where it’s missing. - Normalizing + Enriching Data
Deepwatch CRE ingests telemetry from multiple tools and environments, then correlates and scores it based on real exposure risk. - Benchmarking Visibility
With Deepwatch CRE, customers see how their telemetry compares to industry benchmarks, threat trends, and internal goals (via Deepwatch’s Security Index). - Reducing Alert Noise
Deepwatch CRE cuts through the overload by de-duplicating alerts, scoring by severity and sensitivity, and surfacing only what matters.
A Customer Case in Point
One global SaaS customer onboarded cloud telemetry, EDR, and IAM logs into their SIEM. But Deepwatch CRE revealed:
- 27% of key assets lacked identity telemetry
- 14% of detection logic hadn’t fired in 90+ days
- Critical MITRE techniques (e.g., lateral movement) had no active coverage
With Deepwatch CRE, they prioritized onboarding for high-risk log sources, updated stale detection logic, and reduced their detection gap by 41%.
How to Escape the Trap
- Don’t assume logs = visibility
- Tie telemetry to MITRE and exposure
- Score detection logic, not just log ingestion
- Look for real-world signals, not just compliance coverage
Conclusion
More logs won’t save you. Smarter coverage will.
Deepwatch CRE enables Deepwatch MDR customers to turn raw telemetry into meaningful insight—without needing more headcount or more tooling.
