Threat detection
Threat detection on the same data as your monitoring
Start from 3,665 SigmaHQ rules mapped to 170 MITRE ATT&CK techniques, test each rule in shadow mode before it can page anyone, and respond through 25 actions that run only after a person approves them.

How it works
From the first event to an approved response
Detections, verdicts, cases and responses share one workspace and one ledger, so the trail from event to action stays intact.
- 01CollectCollectors send Linux process, file and network events, and logs from firewalls and other security tools.
- 02DetectInstall the SigmaHQ pack, write your own rules, or convert supported Splunk SPL and Sentinel KQL.
- 03TestA rule in test runs in shadow mode: alerts are recorded and nobody is paged.
- 04TriageTurn on the SOC triage agent and each firing alert gets a verdict, a confidence and a lane, citing evidence.
- 05RespondAgents and playbooks file proposals. A person approves each one, and containment needs an admin.
- 06RecordCases chain their evidence by hash, and every action lands on the SOC ledger.
Detection rules
Rules you can prove before they page anyone
Pack rules install disabled. Move each one to test, where it runs in shadow mode, and promote it once its backtest and shadow hits look right. A rule whose log source has no route to your data is saved disabled, with the reason.
- Backtest any rule over the last 24 hours, 7 days or 30 days, with its exceptions applied
- Keep rules in Git: a detection repository stays in sync, and every change is a version you can diff and roll back
- Each SigmaHQ rule keeps its original YAML and author, under the Detection Rule License 1.1
- Draft
- Test
- Production
Response
Agents propose. People approve.
Brain, the SOC agents and playbooks file proposals into one queue. Each action carries a blast tier that decides who may approve it, and its target is pinned when the proposal is filed.
Tiered approval
Editors approve notifications, cases and indicator blocks. Containment, account changes and edge blocks need an admin.
Pinned targets
A process is pinned by id, start time and program, a file by path and SHA-256. Changed targets are refused.
Your tools, your credentials
Bind actions to CrowdStrike, Microsoft Defender, Okta, Entra ID, Cloudflare and more, or a signed webhook.
One verifiable ledger
Every proposal, approval and action lands on a hash-chained ledger.
Investigations
Evidence that still holds up after the incident
Cases snapshot each alert, indicator and entity when you attach it, and chain every item with SHA-256. Drop, edit or reorder an item and the chain breaks from that point on.
- When turned on, the SOC investigator opens one case per incident and pins a report that cites the attached evidence
- Threat-intel indicators match events as they arrive, and a retro-hunt replays the last 7 days
- Auto-close stays off until an admin turns it on, and then only for rules where analysts agree with the agent often enough
Better together
Security on the same data and inventory as everything else
Detections run on the logs and hosts you already monitor, in the same workspace as your traces, devices and configuration history, so an investigation can follow an alert wherever it leads.
- Software inventory and SBOMApplications and components on each host, matched against OSV advisories, with runtime evidence and CycloneDX, SPDX and OpenVEX export.Learn more
- Configuration managementBlock an address at the edge as a reviewed change to existing ACLs on Arista EOS and Nokia SR Linux.Learn more
- BrainAsk about an alert in plain language. Brain reads with your permissions, and any response it suggests becomes a proposal.Learn more
Response actions
What each response action reaches, and who approves it
All 25 actions run only after approval. Tracix runs some itself or through the collector on a host; the rest call a tool you bind with your own credential.
| Target | Actions | Runs through | Approved by |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cases and notifications | Notify the SOC, open a case, attach evidence | Tracix | Editor |
| Indicators and watchlists | Block or unblock an indicator, add to or remove from a watchlist | Tracix | Editor |
| Detection rules | Enable or disable a rule | Tracix | Editor |
| Host files, read only | Scan files with YARA | The collector on the host | Editor |
| Host processes and files | End a process, quarantine or restore a file | The collector on the host, where its owner allowed host response at install | Admin |
| Endpoint isolation | Contain or release a host | CrowdStrike Falcon, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint, SentinelOne and five more EDRs | Admin |
| Endpoint processes | Kill a process | Bitdefender GravityZone, ESET PROTECT or Trend Micro Apex One | Admin |
| Identities and keys | Disable a user, revoke sessions, force a password reset, disable an API key | Okta, Microsoft Entra ID, Keycloak, JumpCloud and more | Admin |
| Network edge | Block or unblock an IP address | Cloudflare, FortiGate, Check Point, F5 BIG-IP and more, or edge ACLs on Arista EOS and Nokia SR Linux through NCM | Admin |
| Quarantine a message | Microsoft Graph, through the Entra ID pack | Admin | |
| Forensics and rebuilds | Request forensic collection, reimage a host | A task for a person to complete | Editor, admin to reimage |
Any vendor action can instead post a signed webhook to your own automation. An approved action with no binding becomes a task for a person to mark done. MITRE ATT&CK® technique data: © The MITRE Corporation. ATT&CK® is reproduced and distributed with the permission of The MITRE Corporation.
Where do the detection rules come from?
Will every rule work on my data?
Can an agent contain a host without a person?
Does Tracix match software to known vulnerabilities?
Install the rule pack and test it in shadow mode
Connect a collector, install the SigmaHQ pack, and backtest the rules you care about before any of them can page you.
