Detection-as-Code (DaC) Module

Detection-as-Code is a foundational principle of Black Cell ESM.
It treats detection rules not as static configurations, but as living code—developed, tested, and deployed using modern software engineering practices.

By applying version control, peer review, and CI/CD pipelines to detection engineering, DaC brings speed, transparency, and consistency to one of the most critical aspects of cybersecurity operations.

Overview

Key Advantages

Version Control & Traceability

Every detection rule is tracked in a version control system like Git, providing full visibility into changes—who made them, when, and why. This makes the entire lifecycle of each rule auditable and accountable. Rollbacks are quick and easy if an update causes issues, minimizing risk.

Collaboration & Peer Review

Rules are developed through collaborative workflows, including pull requests and peer reviews. This ensures high-quality logic, reduces blind spots, and encourages shared ownership across the security team. Issues are caught early, and tribal knowledge becomes team knowledge.

Scalability & Automation

Using CI/CD pipelines, detection rules can be tested, validated, and deployed automatically removing bottlenecks and minimizing manual error. This structured approach allows organizations to scale their detection engineering without losing control.

Faster Response to Emerging Threats

Because detection rules are built like code and managed through automated workflows, new TTPs (tactics, techniques, and procedures) can be addressed rapidly. Teams can respond to threats in hours, not days—sharply reducing exposure windows and improving overall readiness.

Explore the NSM Threat Intelligence Feed Feature

NSM Threat Intelligence Feed
Feature

Black Cell’s Network Security Monitoring (BC NSM) solution addresses the critical need for deep visibility inside today’s complex digital environments. By offering essential insight into your network, BC NSM addresses the fundamental security principle: you cannot defend against what you cannot see.

While BC NSM already delivers powerful capabilities like network traffic analysis, metadata extraction, and anomaly detection, the true strength of the platform is unlocked when paired with our curated Threat Intelligence Feed. This integration transforms passive monitoring into proactive defense.

Why Threat Intelligence Matters

Attackers continuously evolve their methods — especially when targeting corporate IT and OT environments. Even with strong monitoring in place, much of the detection relies on signatures. And those signatures are only as effective as they are current.

Despite widespread awareness of their importance, many organizations struggle to keep detection rules updated. Our solution changes that.

Discover the Strengths

Continuously Updated

Our team develops and delivers thousands of high-quality, custom-built signatures, with updates deployed continuously. All signatures are deployed via our Detection-as-Code pipeline, ensuring instant and reliable integration with BC NSM.

Tested and Verified

Each rule is rigorously tested to maintain a high detection rate while minimizing false positives. You can rely on accurate alerts, not noise.

Driven by Threat Intelligence

Black Cell’s Threat Hunting team is constantly researching new tactics, techniques, and infrastructure used by attackers. Every discovery is translated into actionable detection.

Context-Rich

Go beyond raw signatures. Our feed includes detailed context — Indicators of Compromise (IoCs), campaign metadata, and links to research — embedded directly into your tooling to support faster, smarter decision-making.

High-Impact Threat Focus

Each signature is assigned a severity rating, helping you prioritize and respond to threats like ransomware, zero-day exploits, and APT activity targeting your specific industry.

Built for OT and Hybrid Networks

Our threat feed includes signatures tailored to Operational Technology (OT), as well as converged IT/OT environments — providing broad protection where traditional tools fall short.

Empowering Threat Hunting

Equip your internal threat hunters with curated, relevant data points and known malicious infrastructure information to proactively search for undetected compromises within your network, uncovering threats that might evade automated detection.

Effortless Integration

Delivered in standard formats, the feed fits into your existing infrastructure without disruption.

Tailored to You

Whether you’re defending against specific threat actors or focused on proactive hunting, our Detection-as-Code framework allows us to deliver custom signature sets optimized for your environment.

Explore IoC Threat Intel Feature

IoC Threat Intel Feature

BC-IoC is a threat intelligence feature of the Black Cell DaC module, delivering real-time, high-fidelity Indicators of Compromise (IoCs) to boost detection, prevention, and threat hunting across your security ecosystem.

Built on a foundation of automated reconnaissance and curated research from Black Cell Labs, BC-IoC integrates effortlessly into your existing security stack. It’s continuously enriched through large-scale internet scanning, advanced data mining, and deep signal correlation—ensuring your defenses are always one step ahead.

Our feed includes known malicious infrastructure, DGA domains, malware hashes, and C2 indicators—all curated to power your detection rules, SIEM enrichment, endpoint defenses, and firewall blocklists.

Overview | IOC Threat Intel Feature

Key Intelligence Sources & Detection Capabilities

    DGA Detection Engine

    Our proprietary DGA detection engine runs on a locally deployed neural network trained on real-world malware datasets. It identifies algorithmically generated domains often used by malware for C2 communication—without relying on external APIs. This ensures fast, private, and edge-friendly detection, ideal for environments with strict data locality or air-gapped networks.

    C2 IP Address Monitoring

    BC-IoC maintains a continuously updated list of known Command & Control (C2) IP addresses. These are harvested through automated, authenticated queries to services like Shodan and Censys, cross-referenced with threat actor infrastructure patterns and enriched with context from open-source intelligence (OSINT) and Black Cell Labs’ proprietary investigations.

    Malicious Domain & URL Listings

    Aggregates and validates suspicious and confirmed-malicious domains and URLs from internal sandbox detonations, honeypots, and threat-sharing alliances. Each entry is tagged with metadata such as threat family, campaign identifiers, TLP classification, and first-seen timestamps.

    Malware Hash Intelligence

    Distributes verified malware hashes (MD5/SHA256) sourced from internal reverse engineering efforts, public repositories, and proprietary detection pipelines. Hashes are classified by threat actor, malware type, and observed behavior.

    Integration and Usage

    SIEM & SOAR Integration

    BC-IoC feeds are compatible with popular SIEM platforms, enabling automated alert enrichment and streamlined threat correlation. Feeds are delivered in STIX/TAXII, JSON, or CSV formats for flexible consumption.

    Firewall & EDR Blocking

    Indicators can be pushed directly to firewalls, endpoint detection platforms, and intrusion prevention systems to block known-bad IPs, domains, and file hashes in real time.

    Hunting & Detection Engineering

    Provides a rich, queryable threat database that analysts can use to write precise detection rules, conduct retrospective hunts, and improve overall security posture.

    Offline & Air-Gapped Deployments

    BC-IoC supports offline and air-gapped updates, ensuring critical threat intel remains accessible even in sensitive or isolated environments.
