Solutions / Detect

AI-driven detection, tuned to your environment.

AI-augmented detection with measured outcomes, Extended Detection and Response, firewall change tracking, and ongoing vulnerability assessments built into how your team operates.

Most environments accumulate blind spots. BTA tunes detection models against your data in the BTA AI POD, deploys the eval harness in your environment, and operates a detection program that catches incidents early, tracks every policy change, and surfaces vulnerabilities before they become breaches.

Why this matters

Three blind spots that show up in every breach review.

Each one is detectable with the right architecture. BTA's Detect engagements address all three.

  • Risk 01

    Cross-domain blind spots

    Endpoint, network, identity, and cloud telemetry sit in separate tools. Correlated detections rarely happen because the data never meets in one place.

  • Risk 02

    Untracked policy changes

    Firewall and access changes are made under time pressure. Without recorded review, drift accumulates: rules become over-permissive, overlap, and become unauditable.

  • Risk 03

    Annual-only vulnerability scans

    Quarterly or annual penetration tests miss the gaps that open in the quarter between. Ongoing assessment is required to stay ahead of attacker tooling.

Anchor product · Built by BTA

Architect Explorer. The visibility layer detection runs on.

One pane across hybrid, multi-vendor environments.

Architect Explorer (AE) normalizes telemetry across Cisco, Palo Alto, Fortinet, F5, and major cloud providers. Detection content runs against one source of truth. Change records become audit-grade by default.

Architect Explorer™ · workflow4 stages
  1. 01
    Connect
    Plug AE into your firewalls, EDR, identity providers, and cloud accounts via supported integrations.
  2. 02
    Normalize
    Telemetry is normalized into a single schema so the SOC and the auditor see the same data.
  3. 03
    Correlate
    Cross-domain detection content runs against the unified pipeline. Confirmed incidents are escalated; noise is suppressed.
  4. 04
    Respond
    Response actions are orchestrated through the same pipeline. Every change is recorded for post-incident review.

How we deliver

Detect engagements run on SIMPLE.

Detect engagements run on SIMPLE, BTA's six-stage delivery framework. Each stage has a defined deliverable and a defined customer-team handoff.

  1. 01
    Start

    Define what counts as a detection-worthy event for the business and the operating team that will run the SOC.

  2. 02
    Immerse

    Inventory existing telemetry sources, detection content, and gaps. Identify the highest-value missing signals.

  3. 03
    Map

    Design the unified telemetry pipeline. Define detection content, escalation paths, and runbooks.

  4. 04
    Prove

    Pilot the pipeline on a contained scope. Tune detection content. Validate against red-team scenarios.

  5. 05
    Launch

    Roll out across the environment. Onboard SOC analysts. Run side-by-side with legacy tooling before retiring.

  6. 06
    Evolve

    Hand off operations. Train analysts on tuning. Establish ongoing detection content review cadence.

Engagement models

We meet you where you are.

Some teams want the full BTA delivery from architecture to handoff. Others bring us in for a single advisory window or a fully managed operations contract. Pick the model that fits and adjust as the business changes.

What makes us different

We're architects who execute.

Three principles every BTA engagement runs on. Visible in the work itself.

  • We architect, deploy, and stay through Day-2.

    Every engagement is end-to-end. We design the target environment, deploy it in stages, and remain on hand through the operational handoff.

  • We train your team to own the outcome.

    Training is part of every engagement. By the close of an engagement, your operators can run, maintain, and defend the system to an auditor.

  • We measure success when your team runs it alone.

    An engagement closes when your team is operating the solution without us in the room. SIMPLE methodology enforces this exit criterion on every project.

Detect · FAQ

Questions buyers ask about Detect.

Direct answers from BTA architects who run Detect engagements.

  • What is the difference between XDR and SIEM?

    SIEM aggregates logs and runs correlation rules you write. XDR comes with detection content built in across endpoint, network, identity, and cloud, and can drive response actions automatically. Many environments run both. BTA architects the split so you do not pay for overlap.

  • How does firewall change and event management reduce risk?

    Most policy changes are made under time pressure. Without recorded review, drift accumulates: rules become over-permissive, overlap, and become unauditable. Change and event management turns every change into a tracked, reviewable, and reversible record. Audit prep collapses from weeks to days.

  • Are penetration tests one-time or ongoing?

    Both. BTA runs scheduled in-depth tests and lighter continuous assessments. Findings are prioritized by exploitability and business impact, with remediation owned by your team and supported by BTA where needed.

  • How quickly can XDR be deployed?

    A focused XDR rollout for a defined scope runs in 6 to 10 weeks. Multi-domain enterprise deployments span longer because integration with identity and cloud telemetry adds discovery work. The scoping call narrows this in 30 minutes.

  • Will detection generate alert fatigue?

    Detection is only useful if your team can act on it. BTA tunes detections during deployment, removes noisy rules, and builds runbooks tied to your operations team. The SIMPLE methodology requires the customer team to operate the system before the engagement is closed.
