Intrusions are complex to detect, as attackers continuously evolve their techniques to avoid exposure, progressing through multiple attack stages to remain undetected for an extended dwell time. Once they have successfully breached an organization, threat actors often use common practices, such as multi-hop proxies, combining malicious activity with legitimate network traffic, ingress tool transfers, and forced authentication to advance their efforts. These clever activities make it challenging for security teams to discover and distinguish between genuine and malicious activity.

To combat this challenge, security teams often use telemetry and observations from multiple security tools to gain a complete picture of the events happening within their networks. Security teams need unified visibility across the environment, correlating and analyzing multiple data sources to gain more context and help them decide on the right response and mitigation strategies.
