Defense Optimization

Prove Your Defenses Actually Work

Continuously validate that your controls and detections fire in response to real adversary behavior — and close the gaps that matter most.

Schedule a Demo

One Place to Validate, Measure, and Improve Your Security Stack

Defense Optimization unifies validation outcomes, maps them to MITRE ATT&CK, and adds Mean Time to Detect (MTTD) analytics. See coverage and detection speed across every control in one place.

FIND YOUR GAPS

See what was missed vs. logged, detected, or prevented

Break down outcomes by control, device, and test scenario so nothing hides between tools

PROVE DETECTIONS WORK

Validate which rules actually fire on real attacker behavior

Not just what’s configured — what fires when an adversary technique runs against your stack

ACCELERATE DETECTION ENGINEERING

Generate and translate detection rules faster

AI-assisted rule authoring and tuning closes coverage gaps and validates improvement loop

MEASURE DETECTION SPEED (MTTD)

Spot slow detections and pipeline delays

See how vulnerabilities, identities, misconfigurations, and cloud drift connect into real attack paths. Prioritize remediation using adversary, defensive, and business context across environments

AUTOMATE CTI INTEGRATION

Translate threat reports into threat-informed validation

Convert cyber threat intelligence into security coverage analysis automatically and run it on the techniques targeting you

CUSTOM LENSES

Analyze defenses through the views that matter to you

Filter MITRE ATT&CK coverage by threat intel, techniques, assessments, or business entities and see what matters for specific missions

  • Threat Debt: From Findings to Adversary Opportunity

    The speed of adversary exploitation has outrun the cycle most security programs were built to run. Defending proactively starts with knowing what an exploit actually enables next: the path it opens, the assets that path reaches, and the defenses that have to hold. The threat environment has changed and we must shift our focus from how fast can we patch to will our defenses stand up to the threats that we face and how effectively can we eliminate adversary attack paths.
