[ PURPOSE & VALUE ]

What does Attack Chains do?

The biggest weakness of classic SIEM systems is the alert fatigue they create. When an attacker scans your ports, you might get 10 alerts; when they attack your website, 30 more; when they breach the system and run commands, another 10 — 50 separate notifications in total. SOC analysts struggle to piece together that these independent alerts actually belong to a single attacker. NextPcap's Threat Correlation Engine automatically links all suspicious activity from the same source IP into a single, chronological Attack Chain.

What Attack Chains delivers

Chronological Threat Storyline

Lists, minute by minute, which vulnerabilities the attacker tried starting from initial reconnaissance, where they succeeded, and every step taken afterward.

Attacker Tracking

The moment an IP is confirmed to have achieved a successful breach, it's flagged in the database as Compromised. Every subsequent move by that IP is relayed to the SOC manager via real-time email alerts.

Automatic Risk Scoring

The chain's risk score rises dynamically with each stage — an IP that only scanned is Low risk, while one that ran commands successfully is flagged Critical.

[ HOW IT WORKS ]

Live in three steps

Collect

Alerts from different modules (WAF, Syslog, FIM, SSH) are written to the database.

Correlate

The correlation engine queries records tied to the same source IP within defined time windows.

Visualize

Matched events are merged into a chronological chain and presented as a single investigation card in the portal.

Frequently asked questions about Attack Chains

How does Attack Chains reduce alert fatigue?

By merging dozens of independent alerts from the same attacker into one chronological chain, letting the SOC team review a single case instead of 50 separate notifications.

What happens when an IP is flagged as 'Compromised'?

Every subsequent move by that IP — even failed attempts — is relayed to the SOC manager via real-time email alerts.
