1. Unified Incident Queue

All incidents from all customer tenants flow into a single, prioritized queue:
  • No portal pivoting between customer environments
  • Severity-based prioritization across the entire portfolio
  • Context-aware grouping of related incidents

2. Cross-Tenant Entity Enrichment

When investigating an entity, ContraForce automatically enriches it with data from the relevant customer tenant:
  • User sign-in history from Entra ID
  • Device details from Defender for Endpoint
  • Activity logs from Microsoft 365

3. Gamebook-Driven Response

Pre-built response workflows execute consistently across all tenants:
  • Same investigation steps regardless of customer
  • Consistent documentation and audit trails
  • Reduced training burden for analysts

4. Automated Gamebook Mapping

Incidents automatically map to appropriate Gamebooks based on type and severity:
  • No manual selection required
  • Consistent handling of similar incidents
  • Faster time to first action

5. Security Delivery Agents

AI agents autonomously handle investigation and response:
  • Triage incidents at machine speed
  • Execute response actions with supervision
  • Document findings automatically

6. Centralized Detection Management (CMS)

Deploy and manage detection rules across all customer Sentinel workspaces:
  • Toggle-based rule deployment
  • Bulk operations across tenants
  • Version control and rollback

7. Multi-Tenant Response Actions

Execute response actions in any customer tenant without context switching:
  • Isolate devices across tenants
  • Disable accounts in any customer Entra ID
  • Block threats portfolio-wide

8. Unified Reporting

Generate reports across your entire customer portfolio:
  • Incident trends across all customers
  • Response time metrics
  • Coverage and gap analysis

9. Customer-Aware Context

Every action is performed in the context of the right customer:
  • Automatic tenant selection
  • Customer-specific configurations respected
  • Audit trails per customer

10. Scalable Architecture

The platform scales with your customer base:
  • Add customers without adding complexity
  • Consistent performance as you grow
  • No per-tenant infrastructure to manage
