Graylog Detection Chains

Product Demo: Detection Chains in Illuminate Content Packs

See how Graylog Illuminate helps security teams detect coordinated attack campaigns faster and more effectively.

In this quick demo, the Graylog team walks through a powerful new capability introduced in the latest Illuminate content packs: Detection Chains. These chains are designed to surface multi-stage attack campaigns by correlating multiple related events—like reconnaissance activity, vulnerability exploitation, data exfiltration, and evidence tampering—into a single, cohesive threat narrative. Detection Chains make it easier for security analysts to spot sophisticated adversary behavior that would otherwise be fragmented across isolated alerts.

What You’ll Learn in This Video:

• What Detection Chains are and how they work in Graylog Illuminate

• How multiple event definitions can be linked to reflect a broader attack campaign

• Why identifying the sequence of recon, exploit, exfiltration, and cleanup is critical for threat detection

• How new visual badges on the Security Events page help analysts quickly spot coordinated threats

• The role of Illuminate content packs in simplifying detection engineering

If your security team is tired of alert fatigue and struggling to piece together complex threats, this demo shows how Detection Chains can provide clarity, context, and confidence—reducing time to detection and accelerating your response.
