Detecting and mitigating external threats with Log360

Gain deeper insights into security events and correlate security data with contextual information to keep attackers at bay with Log360's threat intelligence platform.

What you can do with Log360

 

Automatically scan the network for indicators of compromise associated with external threats and activate configured workflows to contain them at their initial stages.

 

Monitor logs of public facing workstations, servers, and applications using MITRE ATT&CK mapped rules to detect SQL injection attempts, RDP exploits, and remote code executions.

 

Automatically detect malicious software, services, and rogue processes running on endpoints. Investigate complete incident timelines and kill malicious processes using workflow rules.

 

Spot compromised user accounts with machine learning based UEBA and dynamic risk scoring to take immediate remediation action such as disabling accounts before attackers cause damage.

  • Stop Resource Exploits
  • Detect Rogue Processes
  • Block Malicious Sources
  • Detect Account Compromise
  • Detect Ransomware

Stop public facing resource exploits

Weaknesses in internet facing workstations, servers, and applications are often exploited by external threat actors to gain a foothold into the corporate network. Log360 helps monitor logs of these critical resources to detect abnormal behavior that might indicate attempted or successful exploitation.

  • MITRE ATT&CK framework mapping gives actionable insights on attack progression.
  • SQL injection detection helps identify attempts targeting databases and web applications before they succeed.
  • RDP exploit monitoring helps detect potential remote desktop exploits and remote code executions targeting endpoints and servers.
  • Real time alerts notify your team when abnormal behavior is detected on public facing resources.

Detect rogue processes

Anything from malware to hacker tools used to steal credentials can be considered a rogue process. Log360 automatically detects malicious software, services, and processes that run on workstation endpoints and servers.

  • Incident timeline gives a complete view of all events associated with a compromised endpoint and user account.
  • Process termination workflows help security teams investigate root cause and kill malicious processes.
  • Ransomware containment helps prevent spread before critical data gets encrypted.
  • Endpoint visibility continuously monitors activity to detect suspicious process executions in real time.

Identify and cut off malicious sources

Detecting external threats is hard because of their dynamic nature. Log360 threat intelligence is enriched continually with contextual threat feeds and gives full visibility into security threats.

  • Threat source visibility provides insights into malicious IP addresses, domains, and URLs trying to connect to your network.
  • Threat type classification identifies phishing, malware, botnets, and other attack types with recommended remediation.
  • Reputation scoring helps security teams prioritize response and triage faster.
  • Automated blocking can add blacklisted IP addresses to firewall rules and permanently block malicious sources.

Detect user account compromise

Successful compromise of privileged user accounts can cause substantial damage without triggering common alarms associated with external attacks. Log360 detects compromised accounts with machine learning based user and entity behavior analytics.

  • Dynamic risk scoring associates a risk value with every user activity.
  • Anomaly detection identifies unusual logins, suspicious access patterns, and abnormal privilege usage.
  • Immediate remediation enables teams to disable compromised accounts and revoke access quickly.
  • Alert prioritization helps SOC teams focus on highest risk accounts first.

Uncover ransomware attacks

Ransomware attacks are popular among external attackers because of their success rates. Log360 protects sensitive data from ransomware by providing real time notifications for security events that could turn into ransomware incidents.

  • Early stage detection identifies precursor behaviors before ransomware fully executes.
  • Forensic investigation uses detailed incident timelines to trace entry points and affected systems.
  • Automated workflow rules can isolate infected endpoints and block malicious communication.
  • Containment actions help stop ransomware before it spreads across the environment.

Security use cases Log360 external threat detection can solve

External attackers often probe internet-facing systems before launching full campaigns. Detecting malicious communication early and blocking known bad sources helps stop attacks before they gain traction.

Malicious tools and unauthorized processes can run silently on endpoints and servers. Rapid detection with full incident context helps security teams isolate affected systems and terminate threats fast.

Threat actors frequently use outbound channels to move sensitive data out of the network. Continuous monitoring of outbound traffic and malicious destination alerts helps teams cut off suspicious sessions in real time.

APT activity usually appears as subtle anomalies across network, identity, and system behavior. Correlating irregular traffic, unusual logins, and abnormal access patterns helps expose long-running attacker activity early.

After initial access, attackers attempt privilege escalation and internal movement toward high-value assets. Detecting unusual authentication behavior and suspicious east-west traffic helps stop spread before critical impact.

Frequently Asked Questions

External security threats are attacks from outside actors including malware, ransomware, phishing, APTs, and stolen credentials aimed at infiltrating your network to steal data, disrupt operations, or extort your business. They originate outside your organization's perimeter.

Log360 combines threat intelligence feeds, real-time log correlation, behavioral analytics, and MITRE ATT&CK mapping to detect external threats across multiple stages: initial access attempts, exploitation, lateral movement, and data exfiltration.

Ransomware is malware that encrypts files and demands payment for decryption, typically deployed quickly for immediate impact. APTs are sustained, targeted campaigns by skilled attackers who infiltrate networks, establish persistence, and move laterally to reach valuable data over weeks or months.

Yes. Log360 detects ransomware precursor behavior (suspicious processes, file modifications, encryption patterns), alerts in real time, and triggers automated response workflows process termination, file quarantine, endpoint isolation to contain spread before widespread encryption occurs.

UEBA uses machine learning to establish behavioral baselines for each user. When external attackers access stolen credentials, their login patterns, resource access, and network activity deviate from the baseline. Log360 flags these deviations with risk scores, triggering immediate investigation and response.
