Cut through the noise with precision tuning

Drastically reduce alert fatigue and improve your signal-to-noise ratio. Log360 provides powerful, data-driven tuning capabilities that give you granular control over all detections, empowering your team to focus on what matters.

  • Intuitive, no-code rule tuning: Fine-tune any rule with an intuitive interface that requires no specialized query languages like KQL, SPL, or AQL. Apply object-level filtering across users, groups, and OUs or create granular rule exceptions to safely exclude known benign activity and immediately reduce unnecessary alerts.
  • Data-driven optimization insights: Act on intelligent tuning recommendations to improve rule efficiency and accuracy. The platform helps you identify your noisiest and least effective rules , providing clear, actionable suggestions based on query response analysis, such as limiting cardinality or excluding fields to enhance performance.
  • ML-powered adaptive thresholds: Go beyond static thresholds. Log360 uses machine learning to dynamically adjust alert thresholds based on historical data and user behavior, automatically distinguishing between true anomalies and normal fluctuations in activity.

Detect critical threats across the full attack chain

Log360 provides dedicated, multi-layered detection models to uncover and contain the most damaging attacks targeting your organization. By combining correlation rules, behavioral analytics, and deep threat intelligence, our platform gives you the visibility to stop attacks across the entire lifecycle.

  • Detect key ransomware indicators

    The platform leverages correlation rules and anomaly models to detect key indicators of active ransomware campaigns, allowing for a faster response before irreversible damage occurs.

  • Advanced persistent threat (APT) detection

    Detect sophisticated, multi-stage attacks by tracking adversary behaviors across the MITRE ATT&CK® framework with specific, pre-built rules for each stage of an APT campaign.

  • External attack detection

    Defend your perimeter against attacks targeting your external-facing infrastructure. Log360 identifies and alerts on a wide range of authentication, network, and application-layer attacks.

What Log360 detects:

  • Suspicious database activity: Identifies unusual SQL queries, bulk data exports, or database backups occurring outside of maintenance windows.
  • Privileged account abuse: Flags repeated failed SUDO commands and unauthorized privilege escalations.
  • strong>Anomalous data deletion: Detects patterns ofexcessive M365 file deletion on SharePoint or OneDrive occurring at unusual times.

What Log360 detects:

  • Mass file modifications and deletions that exceed configurable thresholds, a primary indicator of file encryption.
  • Sustained high CPU usage and high machine temperature alerts, which often signal the resource-intensive process of encryption.
  • Worm-like activity, indicating attempts by ransomware to self-propagate across the network.

What Log360 detects:

  • Initial access: Suspicious M365 account creation and repeated SQL injection attempts.
  • Defense evasion: Anomalous Windows GPO modifications or firewall policy deletions occurring outside of business hours.
  • Lateral movement: Network reconnaissance techniques like "interface flapping" and worm-like activity.
  • Command & control: Malicious URL requests and the use of privileged commands on network devices to create backdoors.
  • Authentication attacks:Detects password spraying campaigns through an unusually high number of M365 login failures and brute-force privilege escalation attempts via repeated failed SUDO commands.
  • Network & application attacks: Identifies firewall probing through unusual denied traffic on Sophos devices, DNS amplification attacks, and repeated SQL injection attempts against your databases.
  • Geographic anomalies: Automatically flags impossible travel scenarios, such as successive logins from different countries on Cisco or Fortinet devices within an impossible timeframe.

Frequently Asked Questions

Threat detection is the process of employing a multi-layered approach to accurately detect and neutralize cyberattacks. An effective strategy is crucial for security operations, helping teams cut through alert noise and focus on what matters. This is achieved by combining real-time data correlation, user and entity behavior analytics (UEBA), and mapping threats to the MITRE ATT&CK framework to effectively prioritize and respond. Log360 unifies these capabilities, providing a centralized console for security analytics that delivers clear, actionable insights to strengthen your security posture.

You can reduce false-positive alerts in Log360 using several precision-tuning features designed to cut through alert noise.

Key methods for reducing alert noise:

  • Object-level filtering: This allows you to exclude known benign activities from triggering security rules, immediately reducing the volume of unnecessary alerts.
  • Granular rule exceptions: You can create specific exceptions for certain users, assets, or defined time windows, ensuring that legitimate actions are not flagged as threats.
  • Optimization insights: The platform helps you identify your noisiest and least effective rules, providing the data needed to tune them for higher accuracy.
  • ML-powered adaptive thresholds: Log360 uses machine learning to dynamically adjust alert thresholds based on historical data and user behavior, automatically distinguishing between true anomalies and normal fluctuations in activity.

Log360 has different layers of defense. Standard rules detect known threats or policy violations based on single events. UEBA or Anomaly rules find unknown threats by spotting deviations from learned user and entity behavior baselines. Advanced correlation rules connect a series of individual events to identify a sophisticated, multi-stage attack campaign.

Every detection in our library of 2,000+ rules is mapped to a specific tactic and technique in the MITRE ATT&CK® framework. The security console provides visualizations that show your real-time coverage, helping you understand your defensive posture against real-world adversary behaviors.

No. Log360 features a no-code filtering interface that allows analysts of all skill levels to tune and refine rules easily. You do not need to know specialized query languages like KQL, SPL, or AQL to manage your detections effectively.

Log360 is built on a scalable and resilient architecture. It supports horizontal scalability by allowing you to add more processor nodes to handle increasing data volume. It also features a Secure Gateway Server for collecting logs from remote sites and built-in high availability to ensure continuous monitoring.
