An illustrative walkthrough based on the workflow AEGIS is designed around. Composite numbers from the real MSSPs we work with in private beta. We will swap this page for a named case study once a customer agrees to be quoted on the record. If that is you, email support@axivum.io.

The setup

A three-person MSSP runs managed threat intelligence for twelve SMB clients spread across healthcare, legal, and financial services. Their senior analyst used to spend every Monday morning stitching together a threat briefing for each client: which CVEs published last week matter, which techniques the known APTs for that sector are using, and what to patch first. About 20 minutes per client times 12 clients plus cross-referencing equals four hours before lunch.

Every attempt to fix this hit a wall. Recorded Future wanted $50K a year for a seat. Mandiant was more. Their compliance person built a spreadsheet that aggregated CISA KEV and MITRE, but keeping it current became its own part-time job.

The clients wanted to know one thing: are we vulnerable to what is in the news this week. I wanted one place that could answer that for twelve different tech stacks at the same time.

What they did with AEGIS

1. Provisioned each client as a child tenant

From the MSSP Command Center, they added each of the twelve clients as a sub-tenant. Each one got its own tenant profile: sector, company size, cloud stack (AWS / Azure / on-prem), endpoint types, and key vendors. Time: about thirty minutes once, which is two minutes per client.

2. Registered each client’s security stack

For each tenant, they listed the actual tools in use: EDR (CrowdStrike, SentinelOne), SIEM (Splunk, Sentinel), email security, MDR, CASB. AEGIS maps each tool against MITRE ATT&CK techniques to show coverage. Time: about fifteen minutes per client, once.

3. Turned coverage gaps into upsell conversations

The MITRE heatmap showed each client’s uncovered techniques side-by-side. Instead of a generic "we recommend an EDR upgrade," the analyst could say: FIN7 is active in your sector, they use T1566.001 for initial access, your stack doesn’t currently detect it, here is what to add. Three upsell conversations landed in the first month because the gap was concrete, not theoretical.

4. Automated the Monday briefings

Each tenant gets a weekly scheduled report, delivered Monday 8am. It is auto-generated from the week’s KEV entries cross-referenced with the client’s stack, filtered by sector relevance, and mapped to MITRE. Branded with the MSSP’s logo. Four hours of Monday prep collapsed to roughly forty-five minutes of review and light editing before the reports go out.

5. Answered "are we exposed?" in real time

When a client emails at 10:47am about a CVE they saw on BleepingComputer, the analyst pulls up that client’s KEV tracker, sees whether the tools in their stack are affected, and replies in five minutes with an actual answer, not a hedge.

What this is not

AEGIS is not a SIEM, SOAR, or EDR. It does not connect to client environments to ingest logs. It is the intelligence layer that sits between the feeds (CISA KEV, MITRE, EPSS, SANS, OSINT) and the humans who have to make decisions from them, with enough context about each client’s sector and stack to make the answers actually actionable.
