FEATURE: CYBERSECURITY
MANY TEAMS STILL RELY ON TOOLS AND STRATEGIES BUILT FOR A CENTRALISED, STATIC WORLD. IT’ S TIME TO RETHINK HOW WE DETECT AND RESPOND TO THREATS.
A graph-based model enables what some call“ surgical containment.” Rather than taking an entire system offline, you can isolate just the risky communications, keeping operations running while stopping the threat in its tracks.
That’ s not just smarter security. It’ s resilience in action.
Toward smarter workflows
This approach is flexible. Some organisations start with visibility, running in a passive mode to observe what’ s really happening. Others integrate it directly into SIEM or SOAR platforms. Some let the system take autonomous action based on predefined rules. needs to happen next. Analysts don’ t waste time stitching together logs. They see the full picture instantly.
Another advantage? Precision.
In environments where downtime isn’ t an option, like healthcare, energy or manufacturing, broad shutdowns aren’ t just costly; they’ re dangerous.
Interestingly, while this technology is often associated with Zero Trust, many early adopters come from incident response and threat-hunting teams. They’ re looking for speed, clarity and control when every second counts.
Looking ahead, the vision is bigger than detection.
Security graphs are just the beginning. Imagine pulling in identity signals, endpoint telemetry,
