Threat Detection and Intelligence: Detection Engineering, Enrichment, and Verdict Scoring
Threat Detection & Intelligence
Your SOC drowns in low-fidelity alerts while real threats hide in the noise. Analysts open a ticket, pivot to VirusTotal, check AbuseIPDB, query MISP, and copy findings back by hand, one indicator at a time. Detection rules written a year ago fire on behavior that no longer matters, and stale content generates false positives that train analysts to close alerts without reading them. RDX Enterprise fixes the pipeline, not just the tickets. We do detection engineering, threat-intelligence automation, and enrichment so triage is faster, verdicts are consistent, and the alerts that reach a human are the ones worth a human's time.
Detection Engineering Mapped to MITRE ATT&CK
Detection engineering is the discipline of designing, testing, tuning, and retiring the rules that decide what your tools flag. RDX treats detections as versioned, testable content rather than one-time SIEM edits. We inventory your existing detection rules across platforms such as Splunk and Microsoft Sentinel, identify coverage gaps and noisy rules, and map each detection to a specific MITRE ATT&CK technique so you can see what adversary behavior you actually cover and where you are blind. Mapping to ATT&CK turns a wall of alerts into a coverage matrix leadership can read. It also drives prioritization: a detection tied to credential access or lateral movement earns different handling than a low-severity informational rule. Every rule change is documented with the rationale, the technique it addresses, and a test case, so your team inherits a maintained detection library instead of a black box. This is the human-led, evidence-proven part of our work. Engineers make the calls, and the reasoning is written down.
Detection Engineering
Custom detection logic and workflow-aligned alerting.
SOC Investigation Support
Improved triage and faster analyst decision-making.
Incident Enrichment
Automated context gathering to speed analysis.
Threat Intelligence Integration
IOC enrichment pipelines across multiple intelligence sources.
Tools & Ecosystem
Tool-agnostic by design, RDX automates the platforms you already run: SOAR, SIEM and log analytics, EDR / XDR, ITSM and ticketing, threat intelligence and enrichment, identity and access management, cloud, email security, and vulnerability management. We integrate leading commercial and open-source tools in each category rather than locking you into one product.
Benefits
Improved detection accuracy
Reduced alert fatigue
Faster investigations
More actionable intelligence
Automated Enrichment and Verdict Scoring
Manual enrichment is where triage time disappears. RDX automates the pivot-and-copy work that analysts do by hand. When an indicator of compromise appears, an enrichment flow queries multiple sources such as VirusTotal, AbuseIPDB, and your MISP threat-intelligence platform, then normalizes those separate answers into a single confidence score instead of three raw verdicts an analyst has to reconcile. A file hash flagged by many engines, an IP with a strong abuse history, and a match in your internal MISP feed roll up into one weighted verdict with the underlying evidence attached. We build these flows in the orchestration tools you already run or plan to adopt, including Cortex XSOAR, Splunk SOAR, and Tines, and we can push enriched, scored alerts into ServiceNow or your case system so analysts start with context instead of a blank pivot. Endpoint signal from tools such as CrowdStrike can feed the same scoring model. The result is fewer false positives reaching a person, faster triage, and a consistent verdict standard that does not depend on which analyst caught the ticket.
Human-Led Automation Feeding Governed Response
Automation earns trust only when a human stays accountable for consequential action. RDX designs enrichment and scoring to inform response, not to fire it blindly. High-confidence, low-risk steps such as gathering context, tagging, and grouping related alerts run automatically. Actions that change state, such as blocking, isolating, or disabling, are gated behind analyst approval and logged. Every enrichment call, every source verdict, and every scoring decision is recorded so you can reconstruct why an alert was rated the way it was. That evidence trail supports internal review, audit, and the accountability that federal and DoD missions require. As a veteran-owned SDVOSB, RDX builds to that standard by default: Secure. Automate. Govern.
Use Case
A federal-facing security team was closing hundreds of daily IP and hash alerts by hand, with analysts individually checking reputation sources and inconsistently judging severity. RDX built a detection-engineering baseline mapped to MITRE ATT&CK, then automated IOC enrichment across VirusTotal, AbuseIPDB, and the team's MISP instance. Each indicator now arrives with a normalized confidence score and the supporting evidence attached, and low-confidence noise is grouped and deprioritized automatically. Scored, high-confidence alerts route into the case system where an analyst reviews and approves any containment step, giving the team faster triage and a documented reason behind every verdict.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is detection engineering?
Detection engineering is the practice of designing, testing, tuning, and retiring the rules that decide what your security tools flag as suspicious. Rather than editing SIEM rules once and forgetting them, RDX treats detections as versioned, tested content, maps each one to a MITRE ATT&CK technique, and documents the rationale so your team inherits a maintained library instead of stale content.
How do you reduce false positives?
We tune or retire noisy detection rules, then automate enrichment so multiple sources such as VirusTotal, AbuseIPDB, and MISP are normalized into a single confidence score. Low-confidence indicators are grouped and deprioritized automatically, so analysts spend their time on high-confidence alerts instead of manually re-checking reputation sources one at a time.
Do you use MITRE ATT&CK?
Yes. RDX maps detections to specific MITRE ATT&CK techniques so you can see your adversary-behavior coverage as a matrix, find blind spots, and prioritize alerts by the technique they represent. This turns a flat stream of alerts into a coverage picture that both analysts and leadership can act on.
Which tools does RDX work with?
We are tool-agnostic and build in the platforms you already run. That includes SIEMs such as Splunk and Microsoft Sentinel, orchestration platforms such as Cortex XSOAR, Splunk SOAR, and Tines, case systems such as ServiceNow, and intelligence sources such as VirusTotal, AbuseIPDB, and MISP. We name these as examples of what we integrate, not as vendor endorsements.
