HYAS Insight: Power Up Your SIEM with Infrastructure Intelligence for Cyber Resiliency

Your SIEM is the heartbeat of your SOC. It collects logs, surfaces alerts, and helps your team respond to potential threats in real time. But even the most advanced SIEM can only go so far without the right intelligence to fuel it. If you’re relying on traditional IOCs and static threat feeds, you’re missing out on the deeper context that turns alerts into answers.

This is where HYAS Insight changes the game.

By feeding Infrastructure Intelligence into your SIEM, HYAS Insight adds critical layers of context that go beyond basic indicators. It helps your team understand the infrastructure behind cyberattacks—how domains, IPs, malware samples, and WHOIS records are all connected. And when you can see how attackers operate at the infrastructure level, you don’t just respond to threats faster—you start anticipating them.
This is the path to cyber resiliency, and it begins with integrating the right data into the tools you already use.

Why Infrastructure Intelligence Matters for SIEM

To learn more about the foundational concept behind this blog, check out our related post: What is Infrastructure Intelligence?

Most SIEMs do a solid job of collecting and correlating logs. They alert you when something anomalous happens—an unusual login attempt, suspicious DNS traffic, or a connection to a known bad domain. But too often, that’s where the story ends. Without deeper insight into why the alert matters or how it fits into a broader campaign, analysts are left guessing.

Infrastructure Intelligence fills that gap.

Rather than looking at isolated indicators, Infrastructure Intelligence maps the relationships between attacker-controlled assets—like how domains are registered, which IPs host them, what malware they’re linked to, and how that infrastructure is reused across campaigns.

When integrated into your SIEM, Infrastructure Intelligence enables your team to:

• Enrich alerts with adversary infrastructure context Spot new threats based on behavioral patterns, not just known indicators
• Correlate seemingly unrelated events into a cohesive threat narrative
• Accelerate investigation and incident response
• Move from reactive defense to proactive detection and threat hunting

What HYAS Insight Adds to Your SIEM

HYAS Insight delivers Infrastructure Intelligence at scale, directly into your workflows. Here’s how it enhances your SIEM:

WHOIS & Domain Registration Data

Identify patterns in domain registration that reveal attacker behavior. HYAS Insight surfaces registrant emails, nameservers, and infrastructure reused across campaigns—details most SIEMs can’t detect on their own.

Passive DNS

See how domains and IPs have historically resolved. HYAS Insight provides visibility into changes and resolution patterns that indicate evolving attacker infrastructure—ideal for enriching DNS alerts.

Dynamic DNS Tracking

HYAS Insight identifies DDNS services often used by attackers for agile, resilient infrastructure. This context elevates otherwise benign alerts.

C2 Infrastructure & Malware Associations

HYAS maps domains and IPs to known malware and active C2 servers, helping your SOC prioritize and escalate alerts tied to real adversary infrastructure.

Infrastructure Correlation and Pivoting

Pivot from a single IOC to a broader view of the adversary’s infrastructure. From one SIEM alert, uncover linked domains, IPs, and malware associated with ongoing campaigns.

Real-World Impact: From Alert to Attribution

Imagine your SIEM flags a DNS query to a previously unseen domain. There’s no known reputation or obvious threat.

But with HYAS Insight:

• Passive DNS reveals resolution to an IP tied to past malicious activity.
• WHOIS links the domain to a registrant used in prior phishing infrastructure.
• The domain overlaps with malware samples in HYAS Insight’s dataset, connecting it to an active credential theft campaign.

This context transforms a simple alert into an informed, confident response. Investigations become faster, more complete, and actionable—because your team understands the threat’s scope and intent.

Infrastructure Intelligence: A Cornerstone of Cyber Resiliency

Improving your SIEM is about more than speeding up investigations—it’s about building cyber resiliency across your organization.

Cyber resiliency means withstanding, adapting to, and recovering from attacks—not just preventing them. It requires deep visibility into attacker infrastructure and behaviors.

HYAS Insight supports this resiliency by helping your team:

• Anticipate threats through infrastructure trend analysis
• Withstand attacks by understanding infrastructure dependencies
• Recover quickly with full knowledge of attacker assets
• Adapt intelligently by tracking attacker behavior over time

Combined with other tools like HYAS Protect, Protective DNS, HYAS Insight is a force multiplier for proactive, resilient cybersecurity. Learn more in our blog: Achieving Cyber Resiliency With Protective DNS

How to Integrate HYAS Insight Into Your SIEM

Integrating HYAS Insight is straightforward. Flexible options include:

• API-based enrichment: Automatically pull context into SIEM alerts.
• SOAR workflows: Use Insight data in playbooks to triage alerts.
• Manual pivoting: Link from SIEM to HYAS Insight UI for deeper analysis.
• Scheduled correlation: Run regular scans for new matches in your logs.

Even basic integration yields substantial value. When your SIEM sees more, your security team acts faster—with greater accuracy.

Turn Your SIEM into a Resilient Threat Intelligence Engine

HYAS Insight is more than a data feed—it’s Infrastructure Intelligence designed to elevate your security operations.

By integrating Infrastructure Intelligence into your SIEM, you:

• Gain deep context behind every alert
• Investigate threats with speed and clarity
• Move from reactive defense to proactive detection
• Build a cyber-resilient organization
