🔗

Integration Ecosystem

SIEM platforms (Splunk, QRadar, Sentinel)
SOAR solutions (Cortex XSOAR, Phantom)
Ticketing systems (ServiceNow, Jira)
Communication (Slack, Teams, Email)
Identity providers (Okta, Azure AD)
Custom webhooks & REST API

💡 Key Differentiator

Unlike traditional CTI platforms that rely solely on rule-based detection, Vigil combines proprietary AI models with regional intelligence expertise (TR/UK/USA), achieving 40% faster detection rates and 60% reduction in false positives compared to industry benchmarks.

02 System Architecture

Vigil employs a microservices architecture designed for horizontal scalability, high availability, and multi-tenant isolation. The platform can be deployed on-premises, in private cloud, or as a managed SaaS solution.

Scalability

Kubernetes-native deployment with auto-scaling capabilities. Handles 100K+ events/second with horizontal pod scaling.

High Availability

Multi-region deployment support with 99.9% SLA. Automatic failover and disaster recovery built-in.

Multi-Tenancy

Complete data isolation per tenant with dedicated encryption keys and configurable retention policies.

03 AI Analysis Engine

The proprietary AI engine combines multiple machine learning models for threat classification, false positive reduction, and predictive risk assessment.

🧠

Natural Language Processing (NLP)

Multi-language entity extraction and sentiment analysis optimized for Turkish, English, Russian, and Arabic threat actor communications. Identifies credentials, PII, and sensitive data patterns with 99.2% precision.

📊

Anomaly Detection

Unsupervised learning models detect unusual patterns in data exposure events. Trained on 10M+ historical breach records to identify novel attack vectors and emerging threat actor TTPs.

🎯

False Positive Reduction

Contextual analysis engine reduces false positive rates by 60% through cross-referencing with historical data, source reliability scoring, and multi-factor validation.

⚡

Predictive Risk Scoring

ML-powered risk assessment considers threat actor activity, data sensitivity, exposure scope, and exploitation likelihood. Provides actionable urgency recommendations.
