🧩 Use cases
Password-Spray HuntBuild security agents that autonomously select relevant sign-in tables, aggregates login attempts by user and IP, and flags patterns consistent with password-spray behavior—like low-frequency attempts over several months across many accounts.
Impossible Travel CheckBuild security agents that correlate sign-in events by user, calculates geodistance and time gaps between logins, and flags cases where travel speed exceeds realistic thresholds, suggesting credential compromise.
Multi-factor authorization failuresBuild security agents that analyzes multi-factor auth logs to detect spikes in failure rates, clustering by user, IP, or time window, and surfaces anomalies that deviate from baseline behavior over long periods.
Dormant Account wake-upBuild security agents that based on inactivity thresholds, scans for accounts with long silence followed by recent activity, and builds a timeline showing when and how these accounts re-engaged.
