My main use case for Red Canary is that a Red Canary analyst monitors our logs, and if they see any abnormality, they create a ticket that we use to analyze the situation. We assign that ticket and analyze it to ensure we have all the details needed. We use other tools to investigate, but we mainly rely on the evidence from Red Canary, and we can also use the isolate feature from Red Canary. There are threat reports and agents, and in our environment, we have endpoints and identity as well. A recent situation where I used Red Canary to analyze a ticket involved an employee from the US who logged in from the UK, a country he had never visited before. Red Canary's analyst assumed that account was compromised, but after analyzing using our other tools, it seemed the login was legitimate. The user confirmed he had traveled to the UK and used one of our company phones to log into the account to check emails, so the alert triggered was a true positive but a legitimate anomaly.

My main use case for Red Canary is to ensure I can sleep at night by getting 24/7 coverage by a capable team to investigate any alerts for the systems that we have in place to ensure we don't have any security or suspicious activity. I can give you a specific example of a situation where Red Canary helped me out and made a difference: we've had more than a few instances where a user clicked on a phishing link, invoking connections to hostile sites. Through alerts in Defender, the Red Canary team identified, confirmed, and investigated the threat before they reset the user's credentials and contacted us to work with the user to resolve the situation. I have at least one other instance where Red Canary investigated an alert and continued doing additional investigations of logging and activity from that user and their systems around that proximity to confirm that there was no further suspicious activity.
We use Red Canary ( /products/red-canary-reviews ) to monitor incoming and outgoing traffic. For example, when we receive an alert that data from our internal IP address to an external IP address has been transferred, we investigate using a Palo Alto firewall.
