Summary

Security teams face significant challenges in effectively managing and prioritizing an overwhelming number of alerts, largely due to the lack of context and real-time visibility in traditional security toolsets, particularly in cloud environments. This results in delayed threat detection and response, as teams struggle with high alert volumes, inadequate threat prioritization, and gaps in cloud security tools, which are often designed for on-premises settings. Compounding these issues, there is a detection and expertise gap, as teams find it difficult to maintain detection parity across various Cloud Service Providers due to the complexity of cloud telemetry and the need for specialized knowledge. Furthermore, exposure management becomes problematic as attackers exploit configuration changes, which are often treated in isolation, leading to increased vulnerability and the risk of misinterpreting critical changes. Stream Security addresses these problems by offering a real-time cloud detection and response model that comprehensively analyzes cloud activities and configurations, allowing security teams to understand adversary intent and respond swiftly to threats.
