Understand Your Detection Gaps and How to Close Them

Without a direct line of sight into detection logic, use cases, and data sources, even mature security teams can miss critical gaps. Most security information and event management (SIEM) platforms track ingestion and alert volumes, but they rarely show whether your detections align with actual threats or frameworks like MITRE ATT&CK^®.

That’s where the Outcomes Navigator app within the New-Scale Security Operations Platform makes a difference.

It provides full visibility into your current detection coverage, mapped to both Exabeam-supported use cases and the ATT&CK framework. More than just a view, it delivers specific, actionable recommendations to help you strengthen detection, optimize data collection, and improve outcomes over time.

Know What Your Data is Really Collecting

Security teams often collect a wide range of logs, but that doesn’t always translate to effective detection. Without clear traceability, it’s hard to tell:

• Which use cases are fully supported
• Where ATT&CK techniques are partially or not at all covered
• Which detection rules are enabled but not actively firing
• Whether logs are parsed in a way that supports detection logic

Outcomes Navigator connects these dots. It maps detections back to their underlying log sources and parsing quality, so you can see what’s working, what’s underperforming, and what needs attention. For example, you may be collecting endpoint logs, but if key fields are missing or no correlation rules are firing, you’re not effectively detecting lateral movement.

Align to Both Strategic Use Cases and MITRE ATT&CK

Outcomes Navigator supports multiple perspectives on detection:

• Use cases provide a broader, strategic lens for security operations center (SOC) managers and compliance teams—things like detecting compromised insiders or privilege escalation.
• ATT&CK coverage offers deeper alignment for technical teams tracking detection against specific adversary behaviors and regulatory expectations.

By offering both views in one app, Outcomes Navigator supports detection maturity across a range of SOC structures, from emerging teams to advanced programs.

See What’s Working and What’s Not

Outcomes Navigator gives you the ability to:

• View current detection coverage across 21 supported use cases and 236 ATT&CK techniques.
• Identify rules that are enabled but not triggered, highlighting potential configuration issues or data gaps.
• Pinpoint missing fields in log sources that prevent detections from firing.
• Prioritize improvements with specific, actionable recommendations.

For each use case, Outcomes Navigator shows:

• Other use cases in the same detection category
• Your current posture by category (None, Good, Better, Best)
• Which log sources support the use case and which ones you’re actively collecting and parsing
• Which rules are receiving the right data to trigger (satisfied) versus rules that are enabled but inactive
• How well each source is parsed in support of specific detections

It also recommends ways to improve coverage, including:

• Which additional data sources could strengthen visibility
• Which sources would benefit from improved field parsing
• Whether critical data might be excluded due to filters or configuration

This level of detail helps analysts, engineers, and architects move beyond dashboards to fine-tune content and collection with precision.

Improve Over Time With Agentic AI-Powered Guidance

Security coverage isn’t static. Detection priorities evolve, log volumes grow, and frameworks like ATT&CK are frequently updated. To support continuous improvement, Exabeam Nova, our built-in, security-specific AI agent, works within Outcomes Navigator to provide:

• Real-time posture summaries across ATT&CK and key use cases
• Trend tracking to show how your coverage changes over time
• Step-by-step guidance on how to improve use case and technique-level coverage
• Leadership-ready reporting that communicates progress in clear terms

You can compare your current scored coverage—including prebuilt and custom dashboards and rules—to the full detection content available in the New-Scale Platform. This helps teams identify what’s missing, understand how to close any gaps, and track progress toward specific security goals.

With Exabeam Nova, teams can identify gaps and understand what to do about them. To move from simply spotting gaps to closing them, you need a repeatable way to measure coverage, prioritize improvements, and track progress over time.
