Backstory is Stairwell's agentic investigator. It turns a single alert into a finished case: the full blast radius, the attack written out stage by stage, and specific remediation steps for every asset affected.
An investigation usually runs across a sandbox, a threat intel lookup, an EDR search, and a ticket. Backstory runs it in one place, against every file you have collected.
The investigation is only half the job. The other half is explaining it. Backstory writes the case stage by stage, in plain language, so the report is done before anyone asks for it.
No case ends in doubt. You know how far the attack reached and what to do about it, on every asset it touched.
Every file, host, and domain connected to the alert, on one interactive map. Stay at the summary level, or click into any node and dig until you hit the detail you need.
Stage by stage. What happened first, what it hit, what came next, with the what, where and when attached to each stage for full context.
The alert names a MITRE technique and stops there. Backstory tells you what that technique did on your machines, which files carried it, and how each one led to the next.
Close the case with actions. What to block, what to isolate, what to remove, and in which tool. Ready to hand to your EDR, your SIEM or your SOAR.
Disagree with a verdict? Mark the asset clean or infected, regenerate the report, and the case is rebuilt around your judgment.
