Detection without response is incomplete. MAIA closes the full loop — from the first anomalous signal through investigation, containment, and recovery — at machine speed, with every action documented and explainable to regulators and auditors.
The Numbers That Matter
The gap between the industry standard and MAIA's response performance is not incremental — it is transformational. These metrics reflect the operational reality for financial institutions that cannot afford to be slow.
The Response Pipeline
MAIA's response pipeline is not a series of disconnected steps managed by different tools. It is a single, continuous, autonomous workflow — from the first signal through to confirmed containment and regulatory documentation.
MAIA's 350+ monitoring agents continuously compare live infrastructure behaviour against established behavioural baselines. The moment a deviation is detected — however subtle — it is logged with full context: timestamp, affected entity, magnitude of deviation, historical baseline comparison, and all concurrent system activity.
Unlike threshold-based alerting that only fires when a metric crosses a static limit, MAIA's anomaly detection is multi-dimensional and context-aware. A login from an unusual location at an unusual time on an unusual device accessing an unusual data set is a single event to a static rule — and a clear signal to MAIA.
⏱ T+0: Signal captured and loggedThe detected anomaly is immediately cross-referenced against all other active signals across the entire infrastructure simultaneously. MAIA's correlation engine evaluates whether the anomaly appears in isolation or as part of a broader pattern — combining inputs from network monitors, endpoint agents, authentication systems, data access logs, and cloud workload monitors in real time.
Corroborating signals dramatically increase threat confidence. Contradicting context can dismiss a candidate false positive without human intervention. The result is a threat confidence score with full evidentiary basis — not a single triggered rule.
⏱ T+0 to T+2 min: Correlation analysis completeConfirmed high-confidence signals are classified by threat type, attack stage, potential impact radius, and regulatory materiality. MAIA assesses which systems and data are at risk, models the potential blast radius if the threat is not contained, and determines the proportional response required — from quiet monitoring through surgical isolation to full emergency escalation.
This assessment is conducted against MAIA's institutional knowledge of your specific infrastructure — which systems are critical, which data is regulated, which users have elevated privileges — not against generic industry templates.
⏱ T+2 to T+8 min: Classification and impact modelling completeMAIA enacts a proportional containment response — coordinating with your existing security tools to implement the minimum necessary disruption to contain the threat. This may involve isolating a specific endpoint, blocking a network path, revoking a compromised credential set, quarantining a suspicious process, or disabling an anomalous API integration — without touching unaffected systems or disrupting business operations.
Every containment action is: contextually justified, minimally disruptive, reversible where possible, and fully documented with the reasoning that justified it — essential for regulatory compliance and post-incident review.
⏱ T+8 to T+45 min: Containment enacted for most threat typesSimultaneously with containment, MAIA assembles a complete incident dossier: the full detection timeline, all corroborating signals, the impact assessment, the containment actions taken and their justifications, affected data categories (for GDPR/DORA notification assessment), and recommended remediation steps.
This dossier is available to your SOC team and compliance function immediately — before a human analyst has finished their first coffee. The time to notification decision is measured in minutes, not days.
⏱ Concurrent with containment — dossier ready for analyst reviewAfter containment and analyst review, every dimension of the incident feeds back into MAIA's models. The specific attack methodology refines detection sensitivity. The containment outcome validates or updates response calibration. Analyst annotations add human expertise to the institutional knowledge base. The same attack, attempted against your infrastructure in the future, will be detected and contained faster — and with greater confidence.
⏱ Ongoing — learning integrated within hours of incident closureResponse Calibration
MAIA's response is calibrated to the specific nature, scope, and potential impact of each unique threat. Not every anomaly warrants the same response. Over-response creates unnecessary business disruption; under-response leaves threats uncontained.
e.g. Single user accessing slightly elevated data volumes, one-time unusual login location
e.g. Credential used from two geographies simultaneously, unusual privileged access pattern
e.g. Active credential theft, data exfiltration staging, privilege escalation in progress
e.g. Ransomware propagation, regulated data exfiltration confirmed, critical system compromise
Regulatory Compliance by Design
For regulated financial institutions, a response that cannot be explained is as problematic as no response at all. MAIA's explainability is not an add-on feature — it is a core architectural principle.
Every alert, every containment action, and every automated decision is accompanied by a plain-language explanation of the evidence that justified it. Security analysts, compliance officers, and board-level executives receive the same clear, auditable reasoning — no unexplained black-box recommendations.
MAIA maintains an immutable, timestamped record of every event in the incident lifecycle — from first signal detection through corroboration, classification, containment, and post-incident review. Regulatory examinations that might require weeks of manual evidence gathering are satisfied in hours from MAIA's continuous audit log.
When an incident meets DORA or NIS2 notification thresholds, MAIA has already assembled the complete evidence package required — affected systems, data categories, timeline, initial and ongoing impact assessment, and containment measures taken. Regulatory notifications are accurate, complete, and submitted within prescribed timelines.
At the moment a high-severity threat is confirmed, MAIA automatically triggers forensic-quality evidence preservation across all affected systems — memory snapshots, process trees, network connection logs, file system states, and authentication records. The chain of custody is maintained from detection through legal proceedings if required.
MAIA generates executive-ready security posture reports on demand — translating technical threat data into business-language risk assessments that boards and risk committees can act on. DORA requires boards to be actively informed about ICT risks; MAIA makes this practical and continuous rather than periodic and incomplete.
After incident closure, MAIA automatically prepares the post-incident review package — complete timeline reconstruction, root cause analysis based on correlated signals, assessment of whether containment was optimal, and specific recommendations for strengthening defences against similar future threats. Post-incident learning is continuous and systematic, not ad-hoc.
What Your SOC Team Receives
When MAIA confirms a genuine threat, your security analysts do not receive a rule ID and a log line. They receive a complete, actionable intelligence package that tells them everything they need to make a fast, confident decision.
Integration & Orchestration
MAIA's response capability is not limited to what MAIA alone can do. It orchestrates containment actions across your existing security tools — amplifying their individual capabilities through unified, intelligent coordination.
MAIA can direct firewall rule changes, network path blocks, and VLAN isolation in response to confirmed threats — providing surgical network containment without touching unaffected infrastructure segments or business-critical traffic.
MAIA coordinates with deployed EDR platforms to isolate specific endpoints, quarantine malicious processes, collect forensic artifacts, and trigger deep inspection of affected systems — without requiring manual analyst intervention at each step.
Compromised credentials can be suspended, MFA challenges triggered, session tokens invalidated, and access scopes reduced in real time — directly through MAIA's integration with your existing IAM and privileged access management systems.
MAIA's response capability extends to cloud workloads — isolating compromised cloud instances, revoking cloud service credentials, blocking anomalous API access, and adjusting cloud security group rules in response to confirmed threats in hybrid and multi-cloud environments.
Phishing campaigns, business email compromise attempts, and malicious attachment delivery are quarantined at source — with MAIA coordinating across email security gateways to retract already-delivered malicious content and block associated sending infrastructure.
MAIA integrates with existing SIEM and SOC orchestration platforms — enriching their data with MAIA's cross-system correlation and providing pre-assembled incident packages that dramatically reduce the time your analysts spend on investigation and context-gathering before they can act.
MAIA's Adaptive Intelligence Engine and Real-Time Threat Response work together as a complete, self-reinforcing security intelligence platform. Start with one critical system — and expand from there.
