The problem

The detection existed. The investigation didn't.

Two DCsync alerts sat in the SIEM with status “New” for over a month. The detection existed. The investigation didn't. The Autonomous Hunter correlated 4 identity events across 48 hours that those alerts had been sitting on the whole time.

Critical gap found

DCsync is used in every major breach. Two alerts sat in the SIEM for 35+ days with status “New.” Detection without investigation is just noise.

Automatic kill chain correlation

The Autonomous Hunter connected a password spray, the DCsync attempt, a privileged risky sign-in, and break-glass account usage — events a human analyst would need to manually correlate across multiple consoles and log sources.

From alert to verdict

The full Kerberos chain was reconstructed end to end. Verdict: compromise can't be ruled out without admin input. This required immediate investigation, not just an alert.
