CardinalOps - Detection Posture Management Platform

The CardinalOps platform is powered by automation and MITRE ATT&CK to continuously assess and strengthen the detection coverage of your existing SIEM and other detection tools to enable a smarter, more resilient defence. It improves detection engineering productivity by more than 10x and integrates with your existing tools including Splunk, Microsoft Sentinel, IBM QRadar, Google Chronicle, CrowdStrike LogScale, and Sumo Logic Log Analytics. The platform automatically audits an organization's readiness to defend against the most used and dangerous attack methods utilized by malicious actors as laid out in the MITRE ATT&CK framework. With CardinalOps, organizations can close critical security gaps, optimize their security techniques and gain comprehensive visibility into their detection posture.

Unlike current manual approaches, the CardinalOps platform does the job of teams of skilled detection engineers with years of experience - but more than 10x faster and without the risk of human error. In addition, unlike out-of-the-box rules and generic detection content from community sites, it delivers deployment-ready detections auto-customized to your environment (log sources, field mappings, thresholds, etc.). The platform integrates via the SIEM/EDR/XDR's native API to extract information about its configuration, data sources, and rulesets.

CardinalOps' key advantage is automatically delivering deployment-ready detections that have been customized to the customer's environment (log sources, field mappings, exclusions, thresholds, naming conventions, etc.) and can be quickly deployed to the SIEM with the touch of a button (or API call to the platform) -- detections can also be validated using the customer's own SIEM historical data.

The CardinalOps platform enables organizations to assess risk and reduce their attack surfaces by continuously ensuring they have the right SIEM configuration controls in place to prevent breaches, based on threat intelligence and a threat-informed strategy. The cloud-based platform continuously audits a customer's existing SIEM to help remediate misconfigured detective controls and log sources, as well as noisy detections, that leave organizations exposed to ransomware and theft of sensitive data.

Additionally, the platform assesses the organization's security posture, using the standard MITRE ATT&CK framework as the benchmark, to support management and the board in managing risk.

CardinalOps has built a massive graph database of over 5,000 best practice detection rules obtained from enterprise SIEM/XDR deployments across diverse industry verticals including financial services, manufacturing, telecommunications, hospitality, and MSSPs/MDRs.

Coverage tracking using CardinalOps' MITRE ATT&CK Security Layers is built into their automation platform, which continuously audits the rule set of existing SIEM/EDR/XDRs and groups them into their respective layers for each ATT&CK technique. The platform integrates natively with major SIEMs including Splunk, Microsoft Sentinel, IBM QRadar, Google Chronicle, CrowdStrike LogScale, and Sumo Logic Log Analytics. This dramatically extends the concept of ATT&CK coverage by measuring the "depth" of detection coverage for the first time.

With CardinalOps, security teams are able to translate TTP-level threat intelligence reports into actionable detection rules to proactively strengthen their cyber defence with near real-time adversary intelligence.

Leverage your organization's access to commercial threat intelligence, such as TTP-based reports from CrowdStrike, Google/Mandiant Threat Intelligence, and Microsoft Defender Threat Intelligence, to understand where current threat coverage stands and also receive recommendations of deployment-ready rules to mitigate areas where gaps exist.

The CardinalOps platform also leverages a catalogue of open-source intelligence (OSINT) that aggregates public reports and articles with the latest threat intelligence that can be operationalized into detection insights and content for your unique environment.

Build a proactive, threat-informed defence with actionable threat intelligence that keeps pace with attacker behaviour and strengthens your organization's defence against the threats that matter most.
