The seat behind the service
Nicholas spent those years in a large company's security operations center. Real alerts all day, every day. When the off-the-shelf tools missed something, he wrote the detection that caught it the next time. When something did get in, it was his from the first alert to the final report. He has answered that alarm at 2 a.m.
Writing the alarms
Alarms written for the patterns that matter. A device joining the company's accounts in an odd way. A burst of password guessing. Unusual activity in the company's cloud accounts. When one fires, the first steps happen on their own.
Handling break-ins
Each one owned start to finish: finding the attacker's way in, closing it, and writing the short version a decision-maker can act on. One ran from a live back door on a web server to a seven-page briefing the board could read.
The tools, used every day
Email filtering, device protection, sign-in controls, and the monitoring behind them, run every working day inside a large company. Your setup will be smaller, not unfamiliar.
