Detection & Response Validation

Validate that your SIEM, EDR, and incident response playbooks actually work under real attack conditions. We simulate adversary techniques and measure detection fidelity and response time.

Validation Scope

What We Test

SIEM Alert Coverage

We execute MITRE ATT&CK-mapped techniques and measure which alerts fire, which are missed, and which generate false positives. Every gap is documented with the specific technique that evaded detection.

EDR & Endpoint Detection

Execution of real-world malware behaviors (process injection, credential dumping, lateral movement) in a controlled environment to validate EDR detection and response capabilities.

Incident Response Playbook Testing

Tabletop and live-fire exercises against your documented IR playbooks. We measure mean time to detect (MTTD) and mean time to respond (MTTR) against industry benchmarks.

Cloud-Native Detection Validation

Validation of GuardDuty, Microsoft Defender for Cloud, or Google Security Command Center alert coverage against cloud-specific attack techniques (IAM abuse, S3 exfiltration, etc.).

Detection Engineering Recommendations

For every gap identified, we provide a specific detection rule or alert configuration that would have caught the technique, written in your SIEM’s native query language.
