Detection

Threat Detection & Monitoring

Continuous monitoring with anomaly detection, centralized logging, and response playbooks.

Detection Strategy

Prevention fails. It's a matter of when, not if. That's why detection and response capability is as important as preventive controls.

CloudPresto's detection strategy combines rule-based alerting for known threats with anomaly detection for novel attack patterns. We monitor across infrastructure, application, and access layers.

What We Monitor

Infrastructure Signals

Unusual resource consumption, unauthorized API calls, configuration changes outside change windows, and platform security findings.

Access Patterns

Failed authentication attempts, privilege escalation events, access from unusual locations, and service account anomalies.

Network Activity

Outbound traffic to unknown destinations, port scanning, lateral movement patterns, and DNS anomalies.

Application Behavior

Injection attempts, authentication bypass patterns, unusual data access volumes, and API abuse indicators.

Incident Response

01DetectClassify severity02ContainIsolate & rotate03EradicateRoot cause & fix04ReviewPost-incident (48h)

When a security event is detected, the response follows a defined playbook:

01

Detect & Classify

Event classified by severity. P1 security incidents are triaged on priority.

02

Contain

Affected systems isolated. Credentials rotated. Attack surface minimized while investigation proceeds.

03

Eradicate & Recover

Root cause identified and eliminated. Systems restored from known-good state. Integrity verified before returning to service.

04

Post-Incident Review

Timeline reconstruction, root cause analysis, and preventive actions documented as a standard part of incident closure. Lessons applied to detection rules and playbooks.
