    Overview

    The Security Operations suite for the modern SOC - detect, investigate, and respond to cyber threats with speed, scale, and precision.

    How Chronicle works:
    1. Collection - Chronicle ingests your own data into a private container at petabyte scale with 1-year retention.
    2. Detection - all of that data is aggregated, normalized, and linked with OOTB detections and threat intelligence.
    3. Investigation - that data is then exposed via case management, sub-second search, collaboration, and contextual mapping.
    4. Response - rapid response times occur via automated playbooks, incident management, and closed-loop feedback.
