How a Defense Startup Reduced Security False Positives by 85%

The Challenge

A defense technology startup developing unmanned systems needed real-time threat detection that could identify novel attacks without relying on signature databases. Traditional security tools generated too many false positives, overwhelming their small security team.

Our Approach

We developed an advanced heuristic anomaly detection platform that continuously monitors logs and telemetry across all system components. The solution uses behavioral analysis and machine learning to establish baseline operations and flag deviations that indicate potential compromise, enabling proactive threat response without dependency on signature databases.

Designed a distributed telemetry collection architecture that captures data from all system touchpoints without impacting performance

Built machine learning models that learn normal operational patterns and identify deviations in real-time

Implemented heuristic algorithms that analyze behavioral patterns rather than relying on known attack signatures

Created automated alerting and incident response workflows that enable rapid threat mitigation

Developed a comprehensive dashboard for security teams to monitor system health and threat landscape
