SOC, XDR, and Threat Intelligence

An attack takes minutes. Someone must monitor 24/7.

Most companies have tools that generate alerts. What’s missing are the people to review them at night and on weekends, and the experience to distinguish an attack from noise. The SOC360 team stands watch 24/7, responds on your behalf, and – when necessary – provides full incident handling with digital forensics. This is complemented by Exabeam behavior analytics and external threat intelligence from Check Point External Risk Management.

What the data shows

241days

was the average time to detect and contain a breach – according to the IBM Cost of a Data Breach 2025, a Ponemon Institute study of 600 organizations.1

40

analysts made up the SOC360 team at the end of 2025 – working 24/7, without L1/L2/L3 line splits.2

200,000+

endpoints and identities are monitored by SOC360 across dozens of organizations.2

4 h

from report to mobilization of a three-person response team; up to six people within 24 hours.3

273,000

incidents were handled in 2025 by national CSIRT teams – 144.4% more than the previous year.4

Conclusion: time is money. Breaches detected by an internal team cost an average of $0.9 million less than those the company learned about from the attacker.1

What the SOC sees – six scenarios

The first two are real cases from SOC360 team analyses. The others are based on Verizon and Exabeam reports and the SOC360 service description. Common conclusion: an attack leaves traces – the question is whether someone will see them in time. For each: what the team or technology does at that point.

Fake request for quotation

Messages posing as RFQs and invoices, with the recipient’s company name in the file name – including in Polish. The attachment contains an obfuscated script that loads malicious code directly into memory from a server on a compromised, trusted site with a valid certificate. Unique names and checksums meant reputation databases did not recognize them for a long time.5

SOC360: detection by the EDR behavioral engine and a report from a vigilant employee, followed by retrospective analysis, threat hunting across other clients, and correlation with threat intelligence – leading to the samples being linked to the Pure malware family.5

Stealer unknown to threat databases

A script run from a mounted ISO image downloaded code from a compromised Polish domain, disguised as a .jpg image, and used a legitimate system tool to launch a module that steals browser passwords, clipboard data, keystrokes, and screenshots. Intelligence sources flagged the file as safe.6

SOC360: an alert from EDR, which analyzed the entire process history rather than just file reputation. Analysts deconstructed the infection chain and the data exfiltration channel.6

Ransomware on a Friday night

Encryption begins after hours, and the first alert waits in the queue until Monday. In the Verizon 2026 report, ransomware appears in 48% of breaches.7

SOC360: 24/7 monitoring and immediate response – host isolation, file quarantine, account lockout – within the permissions agreed upon during deployment.2

An incident already in progress

Someone noticed encrypted files or unusual transfers. Hours count: the attack must be stopped, evidence secured, and the attacker’s entry point determined.

SOC360 DFIR: 24/7 readiness, three people mobilized in 4 hours, up to six within 24 hours. Incident containment, digital forensics, system recovery, and support in contacting CSIRTs and law enforcement.3

Employee exfiltrating data

64% of specialists consider insiders – whether malicious or with compromised accounts – a greater risk than external attackers. Only 44% of organizations use behavior analytics.8

Exabeam: behavior profiles for users and non-human identities (NHIs) catch unusual access and data transfers, while automatically built timelines show the full history of the event.9

A thousand alerts, one real one

The team cannot keep up with the queue, so a real attack gets lost among false alarms. The longer manual triage takes, the later the response begins.

Exabeam Nova: AI agents assess threats, conduct initial investigations, and support the analyst, while automation connects over 1,000 tools.9

Where monitoring usually ends

Almost everyone collects logs today. But collecting is not the same as analysis.

Usually in place

  • Antivirus or EDR on workstations
  • Firewall and server logs
  • Alerts sent via email to IT

Usually missing

  • Monitoring at night and on weekends
  • Permissions for immediate response
  • Threat hunting – looking for traces before an alert appears
  • Account behavior analytics
  • An incident response team ready in a few hours

An alert read on Monday morning about a Friday night attack is an incident report, not detection.

What regulations say

NIS2

Article 21(2)(b) requires incident handling, and Article 23 requires reporting of significant incidents: early warning within 24 hours, notification within 72 hours, and a final report within one month.13

Poland’s KSC Act

The amendment implementing NIS2 is effective from April 3, 2026. Essential and important entities have until April 3, 2027, to implement their obligations, and managers are also responsible for cybersecurity.14

DORA

Articles 17–19 require an ICT incident management process, their classification, and reporting of major incidents to the competent authority.15

Regulations do not specify products. But without continuous monitoring, it is impossible to meet the 24-hour early warning deadline – first, you have to know that an incident is occurring.

How we work

SafeWave has been operating since 1998 as a vendor-agnostic integrator. We conduct implementations in stages so that protection does not halt company operations.

  1. Readiness assessment

    We check what logs and tools you already have, what is being monitored, who responds, and in what timeframe.

  2. Model selection

    SOC as a Service with SOC360, your own SOC on Exabeam, or a hybrid model – tailored to your team and budget.

  3. Start in a few days

    System connection, configuration audit, initial tuning, establishing points of contact and response permissions, workshops.

  4. Operation and development

    24/7 monitoring, report after every incident, rule tuning. For your team – SOC Academy training, from awareness to technical levels.16

Check who is guarding your network after hours

Let’s start with a readiness assessment: what is monitored and what is not, and how much time passes from attack to response.
