See Every Threat. Before It Becomes an Incident.
Real-Time Detection. Immediate Response.
Most security breaches are not discovered immediately — the average dwell time for an attacker inside an enterprise environment is 197 days. By the time the threat is found, the damage is done. Symhas builds security monitoring that reduces detection to minutes, not months. SIEM deployment and tuning, 24x7 managed detection and response, incident response playbooks, and threat intelligence integration — across your Oracle Cloud, AWS, Azure, and GCP environments. Mean time to detect under 15 minutes across all Symhas-managed environments.

What We Deliver
Core Capabilities.
Embedded From Day One.
SIEM Deployment & Tuning Microsoft Sentinel · Splunk · Oracle · AWS Security Hub
We design, deploy, and tune SIEM platforms that produce signal, not noise — calibrated to your environment, your industry threat landscape, and your Oracle and cloud data sources.
SIEM platform selection, deployment, and data source integration
Log ingestion from Oracle Audit Vault, OCI, AWS CloudTrail, Azure Monitor, and on-premises
Detection rule development calibrated to your environment and industry
Alert tuning — false positive reduction to under 5% across all detection rules
MITRE ATT&CK framework mapped to detection coverage gaps
→ A SIEM that surfaces real threats in minutes — not one that produces 10,000 alerts a day that nobody reads
24x7 Managed Detection & Response (MDR) Continuous monitoring · Alert triage · Containment
Symhas security analysts monitor your environment around the clock — triaging alerts, investigating suspicious activity, and containing threats before they escalate to incidents.
24x7 alert monitoring from Symhas SOC in Sacramento, Dubai, Chennai, and Trivandrum
Alert triage and investigation — Level 1 through Level 3 escalation
Active containment — isolating compromised accounts, endpoints, or workloads
Real-time notification to your security team on confirmed threats
Monthly threat hunting exercises — proactive search for undetected threats
→ Threats contained by analysts who know your environment — not by an automated rule that fires when it is too late
Incident Response Planning & Execution Playbooks · Tabletop · Forensics · Recovery
Incident response is not something you design during an incident. We build the playbooks, run the exercises, and stand ready to lead response when a real incident occurs.
Incident response playbook design for your top 10 threat scenarios
Tabletop exercises — annual simulation with security team and business leadership
Forensic investigation support — root cause analysis and evidence preservation
Crisis communication templates — board, regulator, customer notification
Post-incident review and control enhancement to prevent recurrence
→ When an incident occurs, the response is already designed — execution is not improvised
Vulnerability Management Programme Scanning · Prioritisation · Patch management · Reporting
A continuous vulnerability management programme that identifies, prioritises, and tracks remediation of security vulnerabilities across your Oracle, cloud, and endpoint environments.
Continuous authenticated vulnerability scanning across all environments
CVSS scoring with business context prioritisation — not just CVSS 10 = fix first
Oracle Critical Patch Update (CPU) tracking and deployment management
Patch management SLA framework — P1 patches in 24 hours, P2 in 72 hours
Vulnerability reporting dashboard for CISO and board consumption
→ Vulnerabilities known, prioritised, and remediated before attackers find them
How We Work
Assessment to Audit-Ready in 12 Weeks.

Every engagement follows a structured four-phase model with defined go/no-go gates. Fixed price. Fixed timeline. Controls embedded from day one.

01
Threat Landscape & Coverage Assessment Weeks 1–2

Assess current detection coverage against MITRE ATT&CK. Identify log sources and gaps. Define threat scenarios relevant to your industry and environment. SIEM platform selected.

02
SIEM Deployment & Data Onboarding Weeks 3–7

SIEM deployed and configured. All log sources onboarded and validated. Detection rules developed and tested. Alert volume tuned to target false positive rate below 5%.

03
Playbook Development & SOC Onboarding Weeks 8–10

Incident response playbooks written for top 10 threat scenarios. Symhas SOC analysts briefed on your environment. Escalation procedures and communication chains agreed.

04
Live Operations & Handover Weeks 11–12

Full 24x7 monitoring live. Tabletop exercise completed with your security team. Vulnerability management programme operational. Monthly reporting to CISO established.

Financial Services · Security Monitoring Global Asset Manager.
SIEM Live. MTTD Under 10 Minutes. Zero Incidents.

A $25B AUM financial services firm had a SIEM that had been deployed three years earlier and was producing 15,000 alerts per day. Analyst fatigue had set in — the SOC team was triaging less than 10% of alerts, and the detection rules had not been updated since initial deployment.

Symhas re-engineered the SIEM deployment — retuning detection rules, onboarding Oracle Audit Vault and OCI log sources, reducing alert volume by 94%, and deploying 24x7 MDR coverage from the Symhas SOC.

What was delivered

SIEM Re-Engineering & MDR — Financial Services Production Deployment

Microsoft Sentinel SIEM — 23 log sources onboarded including Oracle Audit Vault and OCI
Detection rule rationalisation — 847 rules reviewed, 124 retained, 89 rewritten, rest retired
Alert volume reduced from 15,000/day to 890/day — false positive rate below 4%
MITRE ATT&CK coverage assessment — 78% of relevant TTPs now covered by active detection rules
Threat intelligence integration — industry-specific IOC feeds for financial services sector
24x7 Symhas MDR coverage — Level 1 triage in under 5 minutes, Level 2 in under 15 minutes

"We went from a SIEM that nobody trusted to a detection capability that our board considers a competitive advantage. The noise reduction alone was transformational."

Compliance Frameworks
Every Framework Relevant to This Capability.

Controls are designed to satisfy multiple frameworks simultaneously where possible. One implementation. Multiple certifications.

Supported
MITRE ATT&CK Adversarial Tactics, Techniques and Common Knowledge

Every Symhas SIEM deployment is mapped against MITRE ATT&CK to identify detection gaps. Detection rules are written to cover the TTPs most relevant to your industry and threat actor profile.

ATT&CK coverage heatmap produced at assessment and post-deployment
Detection rules mapped to specific techniques and sub-techniques

SOC 2 Type II Service Organisation Control 2

Security monitoring directly satisfies SOC 2 CC7 (System Operations) criteria. SIEM log retention, alert triage records, and incident response evidence are automatically generated.

CC7.1 — threat and vulnerability identification satisfied by SIEM and vuln management
CC7.2 — monitoring of system components satisfied by continuous log analysis
CC7.3 — incident response procedures satisfied by playbooks and tabletop evidence
Supported

Why Symhas
Security Expertise Built from Production Engagements.
Signal, Not Noise Most SIEM deployments produce too many alerts to be actionable. Symhas tunes every detection rule to a target false positive rate below 5% — so your SOC team is triaging real threats, not clearing a queue.
Oracle-Native Log Source Expertise Oracle Audit Vault, Oracle Cloud Guard, and OCI logging have specific data structures. Symhas ingests and normalises Oracle log sources correctly — not as a generic syslog feed that loses context and fidelity.
24x7 From Four Global Locations Symhas SOC analysts operate from Sacramento, Dubai, Chennai, and Trivandrum — providing genuine follow-the-sun coverage without the overhead of a large security firm. Senior analysts on every shift, not juniors with an escalation path.
MTTD Under 15 Minutes — Guaranteed Mean time to detect is a contractual commitment in Symhas MDR engagements. If our MTTD exceeds 15 minutes on a confirmed threat, the SLA is breached — with consequences defined in the contract before we start.
Playbooks That Actually Get Used Incident response playbooks written by committee and stored in Confluence are not IR capability. Symhas designs playbooks through tabletop exercises with your team — so the steps are known, tested, and executable under pressure.
Handover or Ongoing — Your Choice We can run MDR as an ongoing managed service or transfer the programme to your internal SOC team. Both options are designed from the start. No dependency created that you cannot exit.
