USE CASE Security Investigations Accelerating Investigations With Expanding Data Visibility Using Query Federated Search

Overview Query Federated Search allows you to access and query your security data across various sources without needing to write complex queries or scripts.

With Query, you can significantly accelerate the investigation process, reduce the need for specialized query skills, and gain actionable insights from your security data. The platform’s user-friendly interface enables security professionals to focus on understanding and mitigating threats rather than struggling with complex queries.

Security Investigations Challenges Key challenges that organizations face when it comes to security investigations Data Volume and Analysis Investigating cyber incidents involves analyzing large volumes of data, including logs, network traffic, and system artifacts. Effectively processing and correlating this data to identify the attack’s origin and impact is a significant challenge. Lack of Standardization There’s often a lack of standardization in terms of data formats, logging practices, and reporting methods across different systems and organizations. This can hinder the seamless exchange of information during investigations. Resource Limitations Organizations often have limited resources, both in terms of technology and personnel, to dedicate to cybersecurity investigations. This can impact the thoroughness and effectiveness of the investigation process. Timely Data Access Having access to the right data you need during an investigation is a difference maker. When an investigation reveals the need for more data to complete the puzzle, investigations can stall for days, weeks, or months; limiting visibility at a critical time.
