Scan for security threats every 15 minutes and alert your team fast

Every 15 minutes, AI checks logs and threat feeds for risks and alerts your security team before they escalate.

How the work actually flows

It branches. Exactly one path is taken; a person is alerted when a step fails.

The problem it solves

Your security team can't watch every log and threat feed around the clock, so real risks slip through until they become full-blown incidents. By the time someone notices a breach attempt, the damage is often already done.

Who it fits

An IT or security operations team responsible for monitoring infrastructure for cyber threats.

How it works

  1. Network logs, vulnerability scans, and threat intelligence are pulled every 15 minutes
  2. AI checks the combined data for brute-force attacks, malware, critical vulnerabilities, and suspicious traffic
  3. Critical and high-severity threats trigger an immediate Slack alert, an email to your security team, and a PagerDuty incident
  4. Lower-severity threats are logged to your database for later review
  5. A scan summary is posted to your team's Slack channel
What you get

Threats caught before they become breaches

Your security team gets alerted to critical threats within minutes, so incidents get contained before they spread across your infrastructure.

What you get

Real-time security alerts, a PagerDuty incident for critical threats, and a Slack summary report.

What you need

A SIEM system, a vulnerability scanner, Slack, PagerDuty, and a PostgreSQL database.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
