Client Context

Bank SOC — 24/7, Splunk + WAF + EDR, drowning in “advisory” pentest PDFs. Remediation bounced between SOC, dev, and infra for weeks. Need intelligence engineers can execute without calling the tester.

Challenge

Deliver technical information SOC/security engineers can use for remediation immediately: IOCs, evidence, affected scope, detection queries, containment, and fix guidance — per finding, machine-readable.

Scope - Snipeyes Tactical Intelligence

• Per-finding pack: evidence (request/response, log excerpt), affected hosts/endpoints/versions, CVSS + exploitability
• Hunt kit: SIEM queries (Splunk/Elastic), EDR hunt, WAF/IDS signatures, file/IP/domain IOCs in STIX/CSV
• Contain + fix: short-term block rule + long-term patch/config diff with file:line reference
• Output: IOCs, evidence, technical findings feed (dashboard + API + ticket attachment)

Key Findings (redacted)

• 28 findings shipped with 41 SIEM queries, 19 WAF rules, 60+ IOCs — 90% applied without clarification call
• Hunt found 2 additional compromised staging hosts with same webshell pattern (incident declared early)
• Toughest item (SSO token replay) contained via gateway rule in 3h while code fix took 6 days

Outcome

• MTTR critical 9 days → 11 hours; SOC false-escalations down 55%
• Intel feed now auto-ingested to SOAR; tickets auto-close on retest-verified fix
• Purple-team replay quarterly using same packs

Relevance for you: If findings stall between “report” and “fixed” — ship fix-ready intel, not PDFs.
