Security tools don’t protect what they don’t see. Many organizations assume their SIEM, EDR, and firewall logs provide complete visibility until a breach exposes their blind spots.

During Purple Teaming engagements, Lares provides recommendations to help security teams refine their logging and detection strategies.

• Log Coverage Review: We analyze existing SIEM and endpoint logs to identify blind spots or excess false positives that could impact threat detection.
• Tactical Adjustments: Our team offers recommendations for improving log sources, retention settings, and event correlation, helping clients enhance detection accuracy.
• Threat-Informed Logging Guidance: Based on simulated attack telemetry, we provide insights into which logs are capturing adversary activity effectively and where adjustments may improve visibility.

How Attackers Exploit Visibility Gaps

1. Traditional Testing vs. Adversary Simulations

Most SIEM solutions rely on default logging configurations that often miss critical attack telemetry.

🔹 Example: PowerShell Execution Blind Spot

• A client had an EDR deployed, but it wasn't logging PowerShell script execution.
• Lares executed obfuscated PowerShell commands to test visibility.
• No alert triggered, revealing a critical logging gap in endpoint detection.
