Streamlining security investigations with real-time enrichment of Corelight Open NDR and SentinelOne Singularity

In today’s threat landscape, security teams face mounting challenges in maintaining a robust security posture. Legacy tools often fall short of defending against increasingly sophisticated adversaries, especially with the complexity of modern, multi-cloud environments. Corelight’s latest integration with the SentinelOne Singularity Platform brings a fresh approach to overcoming these challenges, unifying network and endpoint visibility while simplifying and accelerating threat investigations.

This week, we’re excited to announce a great leap forward in helping customers combine our network detection and response (NDR) with SentinelOne’s Singularity Platform. By correlating our advanced network telemetry with relevant endpoint and vulnerability data from Singularity, mutual customers can better detect, respond to, and disrupt cyberattacks before they escalate. What’s more, by joining NDR and EDR data, organizations will be able to ensure all endpoints and devices across enterprise networks are visible and accounted for.

Addressing the key challenges of today’s security landscape

Security teams are also grappling with alert fatigue as the attack surface continues to expand due to the rise of remote work and multi-cloud infrastructures. And containing adversaries who have learned to evade traditional security measures to exploit unknown and unprotected devices has made maintaining security across the enterprise even more difficult.

The patchwork of legacy tools lack the flexibility to support modern infrastructures, leaving analysts overwhelmed by endless alerts with little context. According to Mandiant’s Global Perspective on Threat Intelligence, 84% of SOC teams are concerned about missing real threats due to the volume of alerts and data.

This is where the Corelight-SentinelOne integration shines. Corelight enriches comprehensive network telemetry with real-time endpoint and vulnerability data, cutting through the noise and showing SOC teams which vulnerable hosts need attention now. Faster insight helps simplify alert triage across the volume of noisy alerts that are at best distracting and at worst ignored. This is important, considering almost a quarter of all security alerts are ignored according to an IDC report “In Cybersecurity Every Alert Matters”.

Unified network and endpoint insights

The integration of Corelight’s Open NDR Platform with SentinelOne’s Singularity Platform transforms threat investigations. By pre-correlating related endpoint and vulnerability data at the point of observation in the network sensor, analysts can quickly and easily understand which exploit detections are most likely to be true, identify unmanaged endpoints, and quickly pivot between NDR and EDR telemetry.

Solution highlights

• Unified visibility across network traffic and endpoints: Integration with Singularity Endpoint provides a comprehensive view of network activity and device behavior across hybrid and multi-cloud environments. This includes devices and containerized environments that traditional endpoint and Cloud Workload Protection Platform (CWPP) agents may not cover, ensuring no part of the network is left unprotected.
• Singularity-enriched network evidence: By incorporating SentinelOne’s endpoint and vulnerability data directly into Corelight network evidence, security teams can more effectively detect threats and prioritize response based on actual risk.
• Simplified investigations: By pre-correlating Corelight network telemetry with Singularity Endpoint Agent UUIDs directly in the sensor, SOC teams can pivot seamlessly between NDR and EDR data, as well as identify unmanaged endpoints.

Disrupting future attacks with enriched network evidence

As attackers evolve their tactics, security teams need tools that not only detect threats but also provide actionable insights. The Corelight and SentinelOne solution gives analysts integrated network and endpoint telemetry that makes it easy to unlock new analytics, investigate faster, and proactively disrupt attacks.

Additionally, Corelight’s immutable network evidence is lightweight enough to go back weeks, months, and even years to identify the origin of an incident in seconds. Such long-term visibility is essential for not only identifying threats that may have gone undetected for months but also for supporting compliance around device and infrastructure configuration.

Accelerating threat response and reducing alert fatigue

Then there’s the overwhelming volume of alerts generated across thes security stack. Without proper context, it’s hard to prioritize alerts, which can lead to delayed response times and missed threats.

The Corelight-SentinelOne integration tackles this problem head-on. By enriching Corelight telemetry with Singularity’s endpoint and vulnerability data, alerts are prioritized based on actual risk. This reduces alert fatigue by enabling analysts to focus on high-risk threats that demand immediate attention while reducing the distraction around low-priority alerts.

Enhancing operational efficiency across the security stack

With today’s always-on business environment, there’s also a heightened focus on operational efficiency. Here, too, Corelight helps with comprehensive, correlated network telemetry that addresses the volume, velocity, and variety of security data flooding into the SOC. By consolidating multiple legacy tools, such as network monitoring, IDS, and full pcap, into a single NDR platform, Corelight amplifies Singularity XDR’s ability to streamline the investigation process and automate responses. The result is a boost in analyst productivity, as well as a reduction in SOC complexity and data costs for analytics.

Conclusion: a future-proof solution for modern security needs

Corelight’s integration with SentinelOne’s Singularity Platform is a game-changer for security teams looking to stay ahead of evolving cyber threats. By unifying network and endpoint visibility and enriching network telemetry with endpoint and vulnerability data, SOC analysts now have a powerful solution to better protect today’s modern environments.

Whether you’re managing hybrid environments, dealing with unsecured endpoints, or struggling with alert fatigue, this Corelight-SentinelOne integration offers a clever solution that expands visibility, accelerates response times, and amplifies operational efficiency.
