GO Ahead is a an open-source, Sigma rule detection engine built to analyze, detect, and alert on potential malicious activity outside of the SIEM. Built with Go on top of Kubernetes, GO Ahead offers Security Operations Teams the ability to scan 100% of logs without being restricted by license costs or organizational team structures using the open-source Sigma rule format, providing a way to easily exchange signatures across organizations.
Many of the organizations we work with face 3 common problems. First, they must deal with “doing more with less” and choosing between detection and visibility while attempting to handle budget constraints and increasing data sources. Second, they must deal with large teams and various data ownership models leading to siloed visibility between architecture layers. And finally, large, global organizations have disparate detection models and lack common data standards creating inequities within their own operations teams.
GO Ahead was built with one common goal in mind–detection. We opted for a “mile-deep and an inchwide” philosophy that created a lightweight, portable, and incredibly scalable solution which can be deployed locally, on-prem, or in the cloud to standardize signature detection with a common engine built to analyze an open-source format.
