Cloud Detection & Response

Detect unusual cloud activity and respond with control

Atom Detect uses behavioral analytics and AI-assisted threat hunting to help security teams identify suspicious activity, understand the supporting evidence, and apply policy-controlled response actions.

Atom Detect brings cloud, identity, workload, data, and SaaS activity into a connected investigation experience. Analysts can review why an event was flagged, assess potential impact, and select a response based on established organizational policies.

AI-assisted analysis supports review. Analysts retain decision authority.

Platform scope

A connected view of relevant activity

Atom Detect organizes selected telemetry and context around identities, assets, activity, and change—subject to configured integrations and permissions.

Cloud activity

Audit, workload, network, storage, and configuration signals.

Identity context

Authentication, session, privilege, and access-change activity.

Data movement

Resource sensitivity, access patterns, destinations, and volume.

Security ecosystem

Context from connected security and operations platforms.

Operational challenges

Start with the problem your team needs to solve

Select a challenge to see how signals, investigation questions, governed actions, and operational measures connect.

Challenge

Fragmented cloud telemetry

Challenge
Relevant information may be distributed across cloud platforms, identity systems, endpoint tools, SaaS audit logs, and security platforms.
Response
Bring selected signals into a connected event timeline that helps analysts view related identities, assets, actions, and changes.

Signals

  • Audit events
  • Identity activity
  • Endpoint findings

Questions

  • Which identity acted?
  • What changed?
  • Which assets are related?

Actions

  • Open investigation
  • Correlate evidence
  • Notify owner

Measures

  • Evidence coverage
  • Investigation age

Operating lifecycle

One governed path from signal to learning

Each stage preserves context, ownership, and review history across the detection and response workflow.

Observe

Bring selected telemetry into a shared view.

Available visibility depends on configured integrations and permissions.

  • Cloud activity
  • Identity events
  • Workload behavior
  • Data access
  • Configuration changes
  • SaaS activity
  • Security-tool findings

Behavioral context

A sequence can matter more than a single event

Explore an illustrative identity sequence. Each event includes benign explanations, possible concerns, and evidence for analyst review.

Increased transfer activity

Why it is in the sequence
Transfer volume differs from the identity and resource baseline.
Possible benign context
Planned reporting or backup.
Possible concern
Potential data staging or movement.
Evidence to review
Volume, objects, destination, prior transfer profile.

Response controls

Automate within defined boundaries

Select a response mode to review its authority model. Permissions, policy, and deployment design determine what the platform can do.

Selected response mode

Recommend

The platform suggests a response and presents supporting evidence to an analyst.

Connect activity across identities, assets, configurations, and data events to support analyst review.

Investigation-ready evidence

Organize related activity into a timeline with the context analysts need to assess a finding.

Policy-controlled response

Apply monitoring, recommendations, approvals, or preapproved playbooks according to organizational policy.

Works with the security ecosystem

Connect selected cloud and security tools through configured integrations and permissions.
