Detection operations

Build measurable detection coverage

Improve signal quality with evidence, feedback and review.

Develop detection coverage with a clear view of how rules behave in the environment. Nova brings rule activity, alert outcomes, MITRE ATT&CK mappings, analyst feedback, and proposed improvements into the review process. NADE can help prepare a new or revised rule, while validation, testing, and approval determine whether the change becomes active.

A large rule library does not prove useful coverage

Detection owners need to know which rules are enabled, which produce meaningful activity, where technique or source coverage is thin and whether analyst outcomes support a change.

From alert to investigation

  1. Observe
  2. Prioritize
  3. Investigate

Measure detection effectiveness

Review coverage, activity and tuning signals before noise reaches the analyst.

Enabled coverage, technique mapping, source breadth, rule activity and feedback depth help teams identify where review is needed.

Govern the change

Validate and govern proposed improvements before publication.

Review manual and AI-assisted rule proposals before use. Where automatic promotion is configured, changes must still pass the required validation and safety checks.

Scoring informed by analyst review

Make alert priority more relevant to your team.

Confirmed true-positive and false-positive decisions help NovaSignal reflect the activity your team considers important. This personalization is available where enabled. Unreviewed alerts remain unreviewed, and scoring changes must pass quality checks before use.

Strengthen security operations

Give analysts the context to act with confidence.

COVERAGE

Coverage teams can inspect

Review enabled rules, mapped techniques, source breadth and observed activity separately.

QUALITY

Alert quality in context

Use confidence, rate, distribution and noise indicators to focus tuning work.

FEEDBACK

Analyst outcomes inform NovaSignal

Use explicit reviewed outcomes to personalize future scoring while preserving the original alert evidence.

GOVERN

Govern before activation

Keep validation, review requirements, publication state and any automated safety gates visible before a proposed change joins the active workflow.

FAQ

Questions about Detection Engineering.

How does Nova help detection engineering teams?

Nova connects rule inventory, mapped coverage, observed alert activity, analyst feedback and reviewable proposals so teams can identify and govern improvements from one workflow.

Can Nova activate a detection rule automatically?

Not by default. Manual and AI-assisted proposals require review. Where automatic rule promotion is configured, a proposal must pass checks for supporting evidence, usefulness, quality, safety, duplication, and audit history. Promoting a detection rule does not authorize a response action.

What is the Nova Autonomous Detection Engine?

The Nova Autonomous Detection Engine helps detection teams find gaps in coverage and develop rules that address them. NADE uses observed activity, threat context, and detection feedback to prepare a proposed change with its rationale and expected behavior. Teams can examine the supporting evidence and validation results before approval. A generated proposal is not an active rule.
