Security Investigation
Turn security alerts into evidence-backed investigations.
Analysts jump between the SIEM, identity, endpoint and asset tools to decide whether an alert matters. Deepin can gather that context into one case, reason over it and propose a response for a person to approve.

FindingThe behavior sits in the computers, not the people: trying more than a hundred ports one after another is not something anyone does by hand. Shared software on these five machines is scanning the internal network. The firewall is stopping it for now, but nobody knew what it was.

The problem
The logs are collected. Reading them takes time.
Firewalls, VPNs, sign-ins and computers produce millions of log entries every day. They are stored, but nobody has the time to read them all, and what matters gets lost in the crowd.
Not enough time
Understanding a single alert means opening five different systems. An analyst's day ends after a handful of alerts.
What matters slips through
An entry that needs attention sits among thousands of ordinary ones and goes unnoticed.
One incident, many alerts
Alerts about the same incident arrive separately. Working out which ones belong together takes hours.
Silent failures
A service fails for days, monitoring checks the wrong place, and nobody notices.
The difference
Rules catch what is known. Deepin sees what is unusual.
Every security rule describes an attack someone has already seen. However long the list gets, what has not been described yet is not on it. That is why Deepin learns what normal looks like, not what attacks look like.
Looks for what is described
- Known malwarealert
- Blocklisted addressalert
- Known attack patternalert
- Behavior nobody has described yetsilent
A new threat stays invisible until someone writes a rule for it.
Sees what departs from normal
- Servers the team uses every daynormal
- Working hours and usual computersnormal
- What everyone in the unit doesnormal
- A server nobody else goes tocase
Even when a behavior has no name yet, it becomes visible the moment it departs from normal.
What it investigates
From an alert to a case you can act on.
Nothing new to install. Deepin reads the logs your systems already collect and joins them with what your organization already knows: which server an address belongs to, whose account it is, which team they work in.
- Firewall logs
- VPN logs
- Sign-in logs
- Web application logs
- Endpoint protection logs
- Server list
- Network map
- Network devices
- Org chart
- User and HR records
- Related alerts in one case
- Comparison with colleagues in similar roles
- A check for a reasonable explanation
- The original log entries behind every claim
- Day-by-day activity for each person
- A map of traffic between network zones
- Mapping to known attack techniques
- The next step and who to ask
How it works
Every suspicion, the same questions.
Deepin does not run a list of rules. For every suspicious situation it asks, in order, the questions an experienced analyst would ask, and leaves the decision to a person.
Logs
The logs your systems already collect are read; nothing is changed.
Identity
Addresses become servers, accounts become people and teams.
Question
Did this person go somewhere nobody on their team goes?
Comparison
How many people do the same? What everyone does is not suspicious.
Reasonable explanation
An update, a test, a monitoring tool? That is checked first.
Case
Alerts about the same incident come together in one file.
Human decision
An analyst approves, rejects or takes it further.
Evidence
Every number in the case is backed by the original log entries.
What it finds
It finds what raises no alert.
Each case type answers one question. Deepin shows why an entry that looks ordinary on its own matters, by asking who, in which team, and to which server.
A group that stands apart
A few people in one unit behave differently from their colleagues. Kept separate from a single person's oddity.
VPN · firewall · org chartWhere nobody else goes
Someone reaches an internal server that nobody in the same role ever uses. Trying and reaching are counted separately.
VPN · network mapMapping the internal network
Connection attempts to hundreds of addresses and ports in a short time. Told apart from a user who is simply busy.
VPN · internal firewallAn account that suddenly becomes admin
Being added to an admin group, the first admin sign-in and reaching a new system are looked for in order. A single event does not open a case.
Sign-in logs · VPNA leaver's account still open
Accounts that HR records show as having left, but that still sign in.
HR records · sign-insInternet traffic reaching inside
A request that should stay in the internet-facing zone reaching the internal network. Every crossing on one map.
Firewalls · network mapEndpoint protection alerts
Alerts from endpoint protection, with the user and the computer attached. Your own attack simulations and bulk software rollouts are kept apart.
Endpoint protection · sign-insThe failure nobody noticed
A service returning errors for days, or monitoring that checks the wrong place, without a single alert.
Web application logs · server listWith your existing systems
Not instead of it. On top of it.
Your log collection system (SIEM) keeps collecting logs and catching known attacks. Deepin picks out what is worth a look and turns it into a case.
Evidence
Not a score. Three clear answers.
Every case answers the same three questions and says what to do next. Behind every number sit the original log entries, never edited or shortened.
- How many sources confirm it?How many separate systems' logs show the same thing
- How many people do this?How common the behavior is in the team and across the organization
- Is there a reasonable explanation?An update, a test, a monitoring tool: was it checked, was it found
Trust
Runs inside your organization. No log ever leaves.
Deepin runs on your own server. It only reads logs and never touches the settings of your security systems. The review screen does not connect to the internet.
- 01
Source
Every case is tied to the system and the log entry it came from.
- 02
Original entries
The log entries behind a case are kept exactly as they are; not a character is changed.
- 03
Numbers add up
Every number on screen is checked against the logs; a case that does not match is flagged.
- 04
The base of every rate
When a rate is shown, it also says out of how many people.
- 05
Decision
Deepin makes a recommendation; a person always decides.
- Installed inside your organization
- No internet connection needed
- Read-only, changes nothing
- Sends no data out
- Original entries kept
- Numbers checked against logs
- Every change recorded
- A person decides
Not a single log left the organization during the first trial either. What we carry from one organization to the next is case types and review methods, never your logs.
Where we are
Exploring, first tried at one organization.
The first trial of deepin.security ran inside a bank's own environment, on real logs. Firewall, VPN, sign-in, web application and endpoint protection logs were read together with the bank's server list, network map and org chart.
Before calling it a Space, we want to see the same cases appear at a second organization. If your team investigates alerts by jumping between many tools, we would like to see how the work is done today.
