Behavioural detection and AI-driven response

Adaptive Defense.

Adaptive defense uses behavioural baselines and AI-driven response to detect novel attack patterns without relying on static signatures. We build detection engineering programs that measurably reduce MTTD and MTTR over time.

The Basalt Adaptive Defense portfolio gives organisations a way to provide ongoing security skills and knowledge to their initiatives. We meet teams at every level of the stack — from infrastructure to application layer — with senior operators who can read both the engineering and the regulatory context.

  • Detections tuned to your real stack, not the vendor demo
  • Measurable MTTD and MTTR improvement quarter over quarter
  • Less alert fatigue, fewer missed incidents
  • Defensive posture that improves with every exercise

Services

Detection engineering backlog mapped to MITRE ATT&CK

We deliver this work as part of the broader Adaptive Defense engagement — scoped to your real environment, mapped to the controls your auditors and board already use, and shipped with reproducible artefacts your engineering team can act on.

Behavioural baselines for users, services and identities

We deliver this work as part of the broader Adaptive Defense engagement — scoped to your real environment, mapped to the controls your auditors and board already use, and shipped with reproducible artefacts your engineering team can act on.

Purple-team validation cycles

We deliver this work as part of the broader Adaptive Defense engagement — scoped to your real environment, mapped to the controls your auditors and board already use, and shipped with reproducible artefacts your engineering team can act on.

Automated triage and response playbooks

We deliver this work as part of the broader Adaptive Defense engagement — scoped to your real environment, mapped to the controls your auditors and board already use, and shipped with reproducible artefacts your engineering team can act on.

Continuous threat exposure management

We deliver this work as part of the broader Adaptive Defense engagement — scoped to your real environment, mapped to the controls your auditors and board already use, and shipped with reproducible artefacts your engineering team can act on.

Approach

We start with an initial face-to-face (or remote) meeting which will:

  • Understand what your business does and where the key areas of risk are
  • Discuss the services that we deliver under the Adaptive Defense offering
  • Understand the scope of the engagement, single project / application / entire adaptive defense environment or somewhere in between
  • Select the best services for the stage of development for the solutions in scope

Adaptive Defense

Behavioural detection and AI-driven response that learns from your environment — turning attacker dwell time into hours, not weeks, with detections tuned to your real stack.

Explore Adaptive Defense →

Cloud Security

Cloud security across AWS, Azure and GCP — identity, network, data and workload — with CSPM/CNAPP tuned to your environment rather than dropped in as-is.

Compliance Consulting

Compliance work that does not bury your engineering team — ISO 27001, SOC 2, Essential Eight and NIST CSF mapped to controls you actually run, not parallel paperwork.

Explore Compliance Consulting →

Zero Trust Architecture

Zero trust architecture rolled out around your real systems — not a vendor demo. Identity-first segmentation, device posture, application-aware proxying and continuous verification, sequenced so engineering teams keep shipping.

Explore Zero Trust Architecture →

Threat Intelligence

Threat intelligence that drives detections and decisions, not PDF reports nobody reads — adversary-group tracking mapped to your attack surface, sector and geography, fed into your SOC and engineering teams.

Post-Quantum Cryptography Readiness

Post-quantum cryptography readiness ahead of the NIST PQC deadlines and the "harvest now, decrypt later" reality already in play — cryptographic inventory, agility assessment and a migration plan that does not block engineering for years.
