## AI overview

Huntress Managed SIEM's Brute Force Sentry correlates failed logons with a following successful login across Windows, RD Gateway, Linux SSH and macOS, helping the SOC identify attacks that a single threshold rule could miss or over-alert on. It distinguishes traditional and distributed brute force, password spraying, credential stuffing and username enumeration; preserves platform-specific authentication details; and correlates records from different providers on the same host. Detections are tuned by login surface and activate per organization when required telemetry is available, with missing telemetry reported. The portal shows exposed surfaces, targeted accounts, sources and compromises linked to incident reports; customers are notified on compromise and can opt in to alerts on every attempt. In a review of 30 confirmed RDWeb/RDG compromises from the first four weeks of testing, Huntress says the signal would have reached the SOC up to an hour earlier in 20 cases. The feature is included for Managed SIEM customers.

Huntress Managed SIEM's Brute Force Sentry turns the brute force attacks our SOC sees in the field into detections that fire earlier, with the evidence and hardening guidance partners need to close the gap.
