Strengthening Security and Compliance with Edge Delta
3 minute read
Overview
Edge Delta is the OCSF-aligned foundation that gives teams full flexibility and control over their security data. Our Telemetry and Security Data Pipelines allow security teams to apply intelligent data enrichments, optimizations, and filtering before routing it downstream — enhancing SIEM and SOAR analysis. They help organizations meet privacy and compliance goals by masking and hashing sensitive data locally, before it’s egressed to external systems. This approach reduces the risk of exposure and strengthens compliance with regulations like GDPR, HIPAA, and CCPA.
The Edge Delta Platform supports built-in encryption (in transit and at rest), audit logging, and role-based access control (RBAC). It is SOC 2 Type II certified and designed to support strong internal governance, even in highly-regulated environments.
Pipeline Privacy
By leveraging Edge Delta’s Security Data Pipelines, teams can implement a privacy-first security data management solution that ensures sensitive fields like PII, credentials, and internal secrets are handled appropriately before being sent downstream. These capabilities help:
- Reduce compliance risk: Automatically redact or anonymize sensitive fields before they leave secure environments.
- Improve audit readiness: Route a full copy of raw data to cost-effective archival storage for future auditing purposes.
- Strengthen operational trust: Avoid accidental data exposure and support data governance initiatives.
Best Practices for Privacy-Aware Pipelines
- Intelligent masking and filtering: Leverage Edge Delta’s intelligent processing recommendations to identify and redact sensitive data like user IDs, emails, IPs, or access tokens with the click of a button.
- Enforce role-based access: Apply RBAC to ensure only authorized teams can access sensitive telemetry data or modify pipeline logic.
- Continuously review policies: Update masking rules to align with evolving regulations and data models.
With Edge Delta, privacy isn’t an afterthought, it’s a core principle built directly into our pipelines. This proactive approach reduces overhead, builds trust, and ensures teams can derive value from their data without compromising on compliance.
Security Data Pipeline Use Cases
Edge Delta’s Security Data Pipelines provide several key benefits for security teams looking to improve threat visibility and reduce downstream costs.
Normalize and Correlate
Bring structure to raw security data by normalizing it onto open-source standards like OCSF. Standardized telemetry data supports efficient downstream monitoring and analysis workflows, reduces blind spots, and enhances security posture.
Strengthen Compliance
Protect sensitive data by masking or filtering regulated fields before they leave trusted environments. With localized processing, you maintain compliance while retaining actionable visibility.
Enrich Security Signals
Augment incoming logs with relevant security context using GeoIP lookups, threat intelligence feeds, and custom enrichment tables. This adds depth to analysis and accelerates threat investigation workflows.
Detect and Respond Faster
Surface anomalies and high-risk behavior in real time. Edge Delta leverages pattern recognition across logs, metrics, and events to flag threats early, empowering faster triage and automated response.
Tier and Route with Precision
Route enriched data to the right destinations based on content, risk profile, or retention policy. Whether streaming to a SIEM or data lake, forwarding to archival storage, or enabling real-time dashboards, pipelines can be easily tuned to fit your security architecture.
Safeguard Pipeline Deployments
Leverage built-in pipeline packs for log sources like CloudTrail, Palo Alto, Cisco, and FortiGate to help accelerate deployments and ensure consistency across environments. Use RBAC to protect sensitive data and reduce misconfiguration risk.
