Operator writeups
- 01
LFI to FTP write, cron pivots, and adm backup SSH key
Intermediate32 minLocal file inclusion exposed credentials that unlocked FTP write. From there: cron and Python import pivots, then an adm-group backup key to root. Classic Linux privilege chain with nested footholds.

PHP path injection, container SUID escape, and internal SSH pivot
Intermediate30 minPath-parameter RCE landed a shell inside a container. SUID escape to root in-container, then SSH lateral movement to an internal host where MySQL credentials finished the chain.

Rabbit-hole web enum, Python import hijack, and perl capabilities
Intermediate30 minRecursive path enum recovered SSH credentials. Sudo Python import hijack, SUID PATH abuse, and perl cap_setuid closed three privilege boundaries on the way to root.

The managed SOC gap
Alert volume vs. analyst capacity
SIEM and EDR platforms generate thousands of events daily. Without tiered triage and analyst investigation, critical signals sit in the same queue as noise.
Identity and cloud are the new perimeter
When endpoints are patched, attackers pivot to credentials, SaaS, and control-plane misconfigurations. Entra ID, Microsoft 365, and cloud IAM need the same scrutiny as servers.
Response time defines impact
Mean time to detect and mean time to respond determine whether an incident is contained or becomes a breach. Containment playbooks and evidence preservation must be ready before an incident occurs.
Managed SOC · SIEM + EDR · 24/7 operations
Where risk shows up: alert volume, identity and cloud exposure, and slow response. Continuous SOC operations close those gaps when your team is off shift.
Detect
Continuous monitoring across endpoints, identity, cloud, network, and email. SIEM and EDR correlation surfaces anomalies; threat intelligence adds context on campaigns relevant to your environment.
MONITORING24/7Investigate
Analyst-led triage confirms scope, builds a timeline, and eliminates false positives before escalation. Enrichment runs automatically; judgment stays with experienced operators.
ANALYST TRIAGET1Respond
Containment follows documented playbooks: isolate affected hosts, suspend compromised accounts, block indicators, and preserve evidence for recovery and regulatory notification.
CONTAINMENT<15MReport
Executive summaries, incident reviews, and compliance evidence land on a fixed cadence. Leadership receives trends and actions taken, not raw alert volumes.
CADENCEMONTHLYImprove
Detection rules are tuned from live incidents and purple team findings. Each cycle closes gaps: simulate, validate, remediate, and re-test until coverage matches real adversary behavior.

How we operate your SOC
Operate
Savvy operates as your managed security operations team, monitoring, investigating, containing, and reporting across your environment. You retain ownership of your infrastructure and business decisions.
MODELMDRInstrument
Onboarding maps your environment before monitoring starts: assets, critical systems, stakeholders, and compliance requirements. EDR agents, log sources, and escalation contacts are agreed before go-live.
ONBOARD4 WKDetect
Tier-one automation enriches alerts with asset context and related events; analysts investigate confirmed and high-confidence signals. SIEM correlation links endpoint, identity, and network telemetry into a single incident timeline.
CORRELATE24/7Hunt
Threat hunting runs on a documented schedule with hypotheses tied to MITRE ATT&CK techniques. Findings become new detection rules or documented coverage gaps with owners and retest dates.
HUNTMITRERespond
When an incident is confirmed, response follows agreed playbooks: isolate hosts, disable accounts, block indicators, and preserve evidence. Your team receives plain-language updates on impact, containment actions, and recovery steps.
CONTAIN<15MProve
Quarterly adversary simulations exercise your environment, phishing, credential abuse, and lateral movement mapped to MITRE ATT&CK. Red team runs scenarios; blue team detects and responds; purple team closes findings through rule changes and retests.
