A high-growth SaaS platform put detections in the same pipeline as its code — and cut false positives 71% while covering a cloud that redeploys hourly.
71% Fewer false positives | 1,900 Detections as code | 4m Connector deploy | 1.4M Events / sec |
Orbital shipped a hundred times a day into a cloud that reprovisioned itself hourly. Static rules written on Monday were stale by Wednesday, and every new microservice was a coverage gap the SOC learned about after an alert.
Orbital adopted threatDefendr’s detection-as-code workflow: rules live in Git, ship through CI with backtests, and deploy alongside the service they protect. Behavioral models cover the parts no one wrote a rule for.
Tested, peer-reviewed detections cut the noise that was burning out a nine-person team by 71%. Every new service now arrives with its detections already in CI, and behavioral models keep pace with infrastructure that redeploys every hour.
“Detections ship in the same pull request as the feature now. Security stopped being the thing that slowed the release train.”
