Native API integration
We authenticate directly to the platform or tool with scoped credentials and pull findings, telemetry, and context through its own interface. Fastest to stand up and the cleanest audit trail.
Venaera sits inside the stack you already run.
Rather than asking you to rip and replace, Venaera integrates with the security ecosystems of the major cloud providers and orchestrates across the hundreds of tools already in your environment, turning fragmented signal into one coordinated detection and response fabric.

Deep integration, not another silo
Another console is not a security improvement.
Most organisations do not suffer from too few security tools. They suffer because eight good tools each hold one fragment of the same intrusion and none of them can see the others. Adding a ninth console makes that worse.
Venaera connects to what you have, reads it in one place, and acts back through the same controls you already trust. Your EDR stays your EDR. Your cloud posture tooling keeps doing its job. We become the layer that makes them behave like one system with one watch over it.
Live threat intelligence is ingested continuously rather than refreshed on a release cycle, so detection stays current with emerging attacker technique instead of last quarter's playbook.
Principle 01
Read where the data already lives. We consume your existing pipelines in place wherever possible rather than forcing duplicate ingestion and duplicate retention cost.
Principle 02
Act through your own controls. Containment runs through the tools you own, using the permissions you granted, leaving an audit trail inside your systems of record.
Principle 03
Least privilege by default. Read access is broad because detection requires it. Write access is narrow, enumerated, and separately approved per action class.
Principle 04
No agent monoculture. We do not require our own endpoint agent where a capable one is already deployed, and we will not ask you to run two.
Principle 05
Reversible by design. Every integration can be disconnected without breaking the underlying tool, and offboarding is a documented procedure rather than a negotiation.
Deployment paths
Four ways signal reaches us.
Most estates end up using more than one. The right mix depends on what you already pay to retain, how your network is segmented, and how much change your team can absorb in a quarter.
Log and event forwarding
For sources without a usable API, events are forwarded over an encrypted channel to a collector we manage. Suited to on premise appliances and older network infrastructure.
Existing SIEM or data lake
If you already normalize and retain centrally, we read from that pipeline rather than building a second one. You keep your retention contract and avoid paying twice for the same bytes.
Hybrid and segmented estates
For air gapped, regulated, or heavily segmented environments, collection is deployed inside the boundary with controlled egress and a documented data flow your auditors can review.
Integration domains
What we connect, and what we can do there.
Read access is what makes detection possible. Response access is what makes containment possible. The two are approved separately, and you choose where we may act without asking first.
| Domain | Typical sources | Read scope | Response capability |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cloud platforms | Native security and posture services, control plane audit trails, container and workload runtime. | Findings, configuration state, API activity, identity and role assignments. | Policy correction, credential and key revocation, resource quarantine. |
| Endpoint and EDR | Enterprise endpoint detection suites, server workload protection, mobile management. | Detections, process and memory telemetry, persistence changes, device inventory. | Host isolation, process termination, forensic artefact collection. |
| Identity providers | Enterprise directories, single sign on platforms, privileged access management. | Authentication and session events, policy decisions, privilege and group changes. | Session revocation, forced credential reset, conditional access enforcement. |
| Email and collaboration | Cloud productivity suites, secure email gateways, file sharing platforms. | Message and detonation verdicts, mailbox configuration, sharing and consent grants. | Message purge, malicious rule removal, application consent revocation. |
| Network and edge | Next generation firewalls, secure web gateways, DNS resolvers, VPN concentrators. | Flow and session records, DNS resolution, policy decisions, tunnel metadata. | Indicator blocking, DNS sinkholing, segment policy enforcement. |
| SaaS and business apps | Core business platforms, developer tooling, data warehouses, finance systems. | Administrative actions, integration and API activity, data access and export. | Token and integration revocation, session termination, privilege rollback. |
| Logging and SIEM | Existing SIEM platforms, log pipelines, data lakes, long term archives. | Normalized events, historical telemetry for investigation, detection rule inventory. | Detection content delivery, pipeline health reporting. |
| Ticketing and comms | Service management platforms, incident response tooling, chat and paging systems. | Ticket state for incidents we have raised, on call rotation and ownership. | Incident creation and update, escalation and paging, status notification. |
Data handling
How your telemetry is treated.
Security monitoring requires access to sensitive data. The questions your legal, privacy, and audit teams will ask are legitimate, and these are our standing answers. Specifics are confirmed in writing in your engagement.
-
01
Minimization and scope
We ingest the telemetry that detection requires and no more. Where a source exposes fields we do not need, those fields are excluded at collection rather than collected and ignored. Scope is enumerated during onboarding and reviewed at each contract cycle.
-
02
Encryption and transport
Telemetry is encrypted in transit on every path, including forwarding from collectors inside your boundary, and encrypted at rest for the duration of retention. Credentials for your systems are stored in a managed secret store with access limited to the service roles that require them.
-
03
Access control on our side
Analyst access to client data is role scoped, individually attributed, and logged. Engineering access to production systems is separated from analyst access to client telemetry, and both are reviewed. You can request an access report for your environment.
-
04
Retention and residency
Retention is set in your engagement against your investigative needs and your regulatory obligations, not against a storage tier. Where residency requirements apply, collection and retention are placed to satisfy them, and the arrangement is documented before anything is connected.
-
05
Use of your data
Your telemetry is used to deliver and improve your coverage. It is not pooled with other clients for model training without a separate written agreement, and it is never sold, brokered, or used for advertising. Threat indicators derived from incidents can be shared in anonymized form to protect other clients, and you can decline that.
-
06
Exit and deletion
Offboarding is a written procedure. Integrations are disconnected, credentials you issued are revoked, your telemetry is deleted on the agreed schedule, and you receive an exportable record of monitoring and incidents before access ends.
Proprietary and custom tooling
Your internal systems are not an exception.
Every serious estate has something nobody else runs: an in house authentication service, a trading or claims platform with its own audit log, an industrial control gateway, a bespoke data pipeline. These are usually the systems that matter most, and they are routinely left outside monitoring because integrating them is work.
Enterprise engagements include dedicated security engineering to bring those systems inside coverage: parsing their output, defining what abnormal looks like, and building detection content against them with your team.
- Assess We review what the system emits, what it protects, and who touches it, then tell you honestly whether useful detection is achievable with the signal available.
- Parse Custom parsing brings its output into the same normalized schema as everything else, so it correlates with identity, endpoint, and network signal rather than sitting alone.
- Baseline We work with the people who run the system to establish what normal looks like, because no model can infer that from logs alone in a reasonable timeframe.
- Detect Detection content is written against the real abuse cases for that system, reviewed with your engineers, and tuned against historical data before it goes live.
- Respond Where the system exposes safe response actions, they become part of the containment sequence. Where it does not, guided response tells your team exactly what to do.
What it takes from your team
An honest estimate of the work on your side.
Integration is never zero effort, and any provider who tells you otherwise is managing your expectations rather than your risk. Here is what we actually need, in order.
Before anything connects
Source inventory and ownership
A list of the security tools and platforms in scope and who owns each one. Most teams can assemble this in a few hours, and the gaps it exposes are usually valuable on their own.
Week one
Credential issuance and approvals
Scoped read credentials for each source, issued by your team with permissions you can inspect. Response permissions are approved separately, per action class, and can start at none.
Week one to two
Escalation and authority decisions
Who we contact, in what order, by what channel, at what severity, and what we may do before we reach anyone. This is a conversation with your security and operations leads, not a form.
Weeks two to four
Baselining with your engineers
Scheduled maintenance windows, service accounts that behave strangely by design, legitimate administrative patterns, and the systems that must never be isolated without a call. This is the highest value time your team will spend with us.
Ongoing
A named point of contact
One person on your side who can answer environmental questions and receive escalations. Everything else we handle, and tuning continues for as long as the engagement runs.
