Detection of suspicious activity in real time
All industries — public sector, healthcare, finance
Context — Mid-size company with 800 employees, industrial sector — detection of an intrusion that stayed invisible for 3 weeks
The problem
Classic tools (firewall, antivirus, SIEM) rely on signatures and known rules. They detect what they already know. A hijacked credential, a 3 a.m. connection from an unusual IP, a transaction that does not match an account's habits: none of this triggers an alert, because technically the connection is valid. Intrusions are discovered weeks later — often once the data has already left.
The deployed solution
AI agents continuously correlate several weak signals — authentications, schedules, locations, volumes, action sequences — and compare each activity against the usual behavior of the account or service. When a combination deviates from the norm, the agent qualifies the alert within seconds: who, what, when, how severe, and what has already been affected. The decision stays human; the agent sorts and surfaces the signal that matters.
Results
- Detection based on behavior, not signatures: never-before-seen attacks no longer slip through by default
- Qualified alerts in real time, instead of daily or weekly reports
- Less noise: surfaced alerts are put in context by the business, which limits false positives
- Correlation of weak signals that no tool relates on its own
Point of attention: Continuous analysis assumes a large data volume: we filter upstream so we only process what matters. And we never let an agent block an operation on its own — a human in the loop validates sensitive actions. That is what separates a sustainable solution from a risky promise.
