Falcon Next-Gen SIEM combines index-free, petabyte-scale search performance, AI-native threat detection, and agentic automation to provide a data-agnostic approach to SOC transformation, eliminating the \u0026ldquo;data tax\u0026rdquo; associated with legacy SIEMs.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 id=\"attack-chain\"\u003eAttack Chain\u003c/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGiven that the document describes a product integration and not a specific attack, the attack chain below represents a theoretical scenario where the integration of Falcon Next-Gen SIEM with Microsoft Defender helps to detect and respond to an attack:\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInitial Access:\u003c/strong\u003e An attacker gains initial access to a system via a phishing email (T1566.001) containing a malicious attachment.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExecution:\u003c/strong\u003e The user opens the attachment, executing a malicious payload that bypasses initial security measures.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePersistence:\u003c/strong\u003e The malware establishes persistence by creating a scheduled task or modifying registry keys to ensure it runs after a system reboot.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLateral Movement:\u003c/strong\u003e The attacker uses compromised credentials to move laterally to other systems on the network, escalating privileges as needed.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCommand and Control:\u003c/strong\u003e The attacker establishes a command and control (C2) channel to remotely control the compromised systems and exfiltrate sensitive data.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eData Exfiltration:\u003c/strong\u003e The attacker exfiltrates sensitive data from the compromised systems to an external server.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetection \u0026amp; Response:\u003c/strong\u003e Falcon Next-Gen SIEM, integrated with Microsoft Defender, detects anomalous behavior and alerts security analysts.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRemediation:\u003c/strong\u003e Security analysts use Falcon Next-Gen SIEM to investigate the incident, contain the affected systems, and remediate the threat.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003c/ol\u003e\n\u003ch2 id=\"impact\"\u003eImpact\u003c/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf the integration between Falcon Next-Gen SIEM and Microsoft Defender is not in place or is misconfigured, organizations face slower detection, delayed response, and a SOC struggling to keep pace with modern threats.
