SOC Modernization
Transform Your Security Operations
Faster, smarter security operations to stop known and unknown threats now and into the future
Challenges
Adversaries Are Moving at Machine Speed in Trusted Disguise
Traditional defense methods simply can’t keep up.
Skilled adversaries are using legitimate tools and stolen credentials to blend in. In under a minute, they can go from getting in the door to moving laterally across your environment. And in less time than a lunch break, they can settle in and take root inside your network. They remove evidence of their intrusion and use legitimate tools to evade traditional detection methods and disjointed systems. Meanwhile, attackers are weaponizing AI to overwhelm defenders with speed and scale.¹
Most SecOps teams wield an armada of tools for detecting, investigating, and responding to attacks—but the rapid evolution of threats, fierce competition for cybersecurity talent, and a deluge of false alerts mean too many organizations still find themselves at a major disadvantage. Enter alert fatigue, data silos, the manual effort to stitch together context, missing context despite a proliferation of tools, and an increasing number of battles lost to rapidly evolving ransomware.

Brief
Modernize the SOC with ExtraHop and CrowdStrike
Modern solutions eliminate visibility gaps, analyze data at petabyte scale to reveal the signal through the noise, and empower security teams to respond faster and automate containment.
Opportunities
Network Detection and Response: A Core Component of the Modern SOC
Powered by AI. Driven by experts.
The future SOC must be unified, proactive, and work at machine speed. AI and automation have to take on the heavy lifting of data correlation and analysis, pattern recognition, and even some decision-making.
What makes AI and automation truly effective is the data that powers them. Network data is the unfiltered, non-repudiable truth of all activity occurring across the digital environment, providing insights that no other source can match.
- Network traffic represents every digital conversation that takes place. If a device or application is talking, it's on the network.
- Unlike logs, which an attacker can tamper with, network traffic is hard to alter or delete once it is captured, providing a true forensic record of what transpired.
- Network traffic is the best source for identifying lateral movement, command-and-control, and other advanced attack techniques involving movement across the network.
- Network data is crucial for spotting deviations from normal behavior. This is essential when modern threats use legitimate tools and accounts (living off the land) to avoid detection.
From automated asset inventory to real-time enrichment and response with deep integrations with SIEM, SOAR, and XDR platforms, ExtraHop RevealX NDR provides the end-to-end view necessary for rapid detection and response.

USE CASE
Hunt Advanced Threats
Proactive threat hunting is the practice of assuming you are already compromised and actively searching for threats that have bypassed automated defenses. NDR provides the definitive data source and behavioral intelligence needed to execute these hunts effectively.
Automation Benefits
Continuous Asset and Service Discovery
RevealX automatically discovers and maps every device, application, and service communicating on the network, including unknown or forgotten systems without endpoint agents. Security teams can also find and decommission any unnecessary or open ports and protocols.
Behavioral Modeling and Anomaly Detection
RevealX automatically builds a baseline of “normal” behavior for every user, device, and application. It then flags subtle deviations from normal that indicate a potential threat. This is especially useful for unknown unknowns that aren’t detected by traditional signature-based tools.
Risk Prioritization and Contextualization
RevealX automatically assigns a risk score to each detection and recommends high-priority detections for triage. Through integrations with SIEM/SOAR, XDR, and other systems, RevealX enriches and correlates insights. This frees analysts to focus on high-risk incidents.
Proactive Security Hygiene and Policy Enforcement
RevealX detects when weak ciphersuites are in use, and when SSL certificates are about to expire/have expired. RevealX also validates that security controls are working as intended. When a violation is detected, RevealX can generate a ticket in ServiceNow, Jira, or another ticketing system.
Real-Time Response
By integrating RevealX with SIEM/SOAR, XDR, and other systems, SOC teams can leverage network telemetry from RevealX to validate true positives, trigger response workflows, and automate containment with confidence.
Compliance and Forensic Readiness
RevealX automatically captures and stores full packets and rich metadata. This ensures the SOC has the immutable forensic evidence required for deep investigation or legal purposes, without an analyst having to rush to manually capture it.

Reduce Your SOC Fatigue with Smart Investigation
SOC analysts face a daunting task of investigating hundreds of potential security alerts every day, leading to a diminished ability to identify critical issues. Smart Investigations in RevealX helps analysts prioritize high-risk alerts and automate investigation workflows to accelerate response.
