File B1 / The night desk

An alert with nobody behind it is a light going on in an empty room.

Detection is not a screen for your assistant to keep half an eye on. What it actually is: software following what a program is up to, a layer reading that against everything else in motion around you, and somebody whose whole job is choosing the next step while you sleep. All three come attached to every line here.

What the software is really reading

Matching known signatures stopped being enough a long time ago, and the people still selling it as a headline feature know that perfectly well. What SentinelOne does instead is read conduct: which program launched which other program, what got opened, what it tried to talk to, and whether that pattern resembles somebody collecting, encrypting, or feeling their way sideways through a network. All of that carries on being decided with no connection whatsoever, which describes your laptop somewhere over the Atlantic and the machine in the guest house that nobody has opened since spring.

Fluency is the part that stops each of those judgements arriving alone. It sets machine activity beside sign in attempts, mail records, network traffic, and logs from tools you were already paying for. By the time a human looks at it, the thing has a shape. All the distance between a notification and actual help sits inside that shape.

Choosing a tier without sitting through a pitch

The first line works the case and tells you what it found. The extended line pulls further sources into one picture, so a sign in from a city nobody has visited and an odd process running on a laptop elsewhere stop being two unrelated shrugs on two unrelated screens. The response tier acts by itself, which is the one you want when the trouble starts at two on a Sunday and the alternative is waking a manager.

Two of these six lines are for Kubernetes nodes and most households will never buy either. They exist because a famous name usually has companies attached to it, and some of those companies run infrastructure of their own. If that is you, count nodes rather than pods, and your platform engineer already knows the number.

A case that turns up without its story is a chore, not a warning.

Fortify-MDRLine

Managed Detection and Response

On the machine, joined up behind it, worked by humans

Conduct based detection on a laptop, a desktop, or a studio workstation, with a staffed desk reading whatever it produces. Cases reach you already worked, carrying a recommendation instead of a chart for somebody in your office to squint at.

  • Windows, macOS and Linux all carry it, and it still decides with the wifi switched off.
  • Triage, the chase, and any escalation are Fortify 24x7 work from start to finish.
  • Whatever was found, and whatever got done about it, stays readable in the portal.

Extended Detection Across Layers

Opened out across sources, by Fluency over SentinelOne

All of the first line, with logins, mail, and network activity read alongside the machine rather than in three consoles nobody has time to open.

  • Machine conduct set against account activity, mail records, and traffic.
  • Picks up patterns that no single agent can see from where it happens to sit.
  • Keeps history longer, because some questions only get asked weeks afterwards.

Extended Detection with Response

Allowed to act first and report afterwards

The correlated tier, with hands attached. Push far enough over the line and the machine is pulled off the network, then restored to its earlier state, with an analyst still reading.

  • The machine is isolated the moment a conviction is confident enough.
  • What the convicted program changed gets reversed, on systems that permit it.
  • A person goes back over each automatic action and writes it up for you.

Managed Detection, Kubernetes Node

Watching container workloads, node by node

Detection for containerised workloads, counted by node so that the invoice agrees with the figure your platform engineer already has written down somewhere.

  • An agent at the node, covering whatever lands on it.
  • Same desk, same triage, same flow as the lines above it.
  • Watches how containers behave once running, not only what the image held.

Extended Detection, Kubernetes Node

Nodes, tied into everything else by Fluency

The node line with correlation running, so what a cluster does is read next to accounts and machines rather than alone on its own island.

  • What the node reports is joined to everything else you have running.
  • Detections that reach across a workload and whichever account touched it.
  • History held across cluster and machine sources at the same time.

Response Tier, Kubernetes Node

Closing a bad workload down without being asked

The node line with permission to act, for a cluster where a misbehaving workload cannot simply wait until Monday.

  • The offending workload is shut down without waiting for a human.
  • Cluster, account, and machine evidence, assembled into one case.
  • Somebody reviews every automatic action and writes it up for you.

Honest scope

Where this file stops

Detection makes a decent control and a dreadful promise. Underneath sits the list of what these six cannot reach. Use it to work out what else belongs around you.

  • Detection is not prevention. Software recognising an intruder is telling you the thing has already begun. What you pay for is speed on the hour that follows. Nobody honest offers the other guarantee, whatever their homepage says.
  • It does not travel onto other people's systems. A studio network, a hotel connection, a label's shared drive, a production company laptop: none of those are ours to watch. Our agent covers the machine it is installed on and stops there.
  • Hardware without the agent reports nothing. A device that never gets enrolled leaves no record, appears in no investigation, and is not covered by anything on this file.
  • Reversal is not a backup. The response tier can put back what a convicted program altered where the system allows it. It cannot recover a drowned phone or last year's draft. Those live on the back issues file.
  • The node lines cover nodes. Cluster design, who holds which role, and where the secrets are kept remain your team's work. Ask and you will get an opinion. Nobody here takes it over.
