From Alert to Action: How AI Transforms Security Incident Investigation
Watch Hawkeye uncover a sophisticated attack chain in real-time
When your monitoring system flags thousands of failed authentication attempts, every minute counts. Traditional investigation methods mean pivoting between multiple tools, correlating timestamps, and hoping you haven’t missed a crucial detail. But what if you had an AI teammate who could piece together the full attack story in minutes?
Let’s watch Hawkeye, our GenAI-powered SRE, investigate a real security incident:
Breaking Down the Investigation
In this demo, Hawkeye identified a sophisticated attack chain that human analysts might have taken hours to uncover:
1- Initial compromise of a workstation through C2 communication
2- Systematic reconnaissance using port scans and DNS enumeration
3- Coordinated brute force attempts from multiple VPN endpoints
4- Failed lateral movement attempts targeting development servers
The attack spanned just 44 minutes, but generated data across multiple systems:
- 2,457 failed authentication attempts
- 347 port scan attempts
- 156 suspicious DNS queries
- 23 connections to known C2 domains
Beyond Traditional Security Tools
While existing security tools detected individual components of the attack, Hawkeye’s advantage lies in its ability to:
- Correlate events across your entire security stack
- Identify attack patterns and progression
- Map activities to the MITRE ATT&CK framework
- Provide actionable remediation steps
The Hawkeye Difference
Traditional SIEM alerts would have triggered multiple disconnected investigations. Hawkeye instead:
- Automatically traced the attack chain back to its origin
- Identified the compromised workstation requiring immediate isolation
- Provided specific remediation steps for each attack phase
- Generated a comprehensive incident timeline for security teams
