Alerts and logs describe the event. Stairwell preserves the executable behind it.
Collect executable files and scripts from your environment, together with the alerts, IOCs, YARA rules, DNS history, and threat reports that give them context. Every investigation starts with preserved file evidence, not only a record of the event.
When an endpoint sees a new executable or an EDR raises an alert, Stairwell collects the file behind it.
The artifact becomes evidence your team can search, analyze, and investigate.
Alerts, hashes, IOCs, YARA rules, DNS history, host details, and published research stay connected to the files they describe.
Enterprise files, private rules, and investigation results stay in your dedicated environment.
They are never added to a public repository.
Attackers can test against endpoint products and public analysis services. They cannot query Stairwell to learn what you collected, what you know, or what you are hunting.
Continuously collect executables and scripts from enrolled Windows, macOS, and Linux endpoints. Each file keeps its provenance: where it appeared, when it arrived, and which hosts saw it.
An alert is more useful when the artifact is attached. Stairwell retrieves the suspicious file so Backstory can investigate the evidence independently.
Stairwell ingests indicators from public threat reports and checks them against the files already collected from your environment.
Connect files to the domains and IP addresses they contacted over time, even after an attacker rotates infrastructure.
Use Stairwell-authored, community, or private YARA rules as always-on intelligence across every new and historical file.
Stairwell collects executable files and scripts from enrolled endpoints, plus the alerts and intelligence used to understand them.
A log records an event. The executable preserves the artifact. Keeping the file lets Stairwell investigate it now and rehunt it whenever intelligence changes.
No. Enterprise files, private rules, and investigation results remain in your dedicated environment.
The file is stored, analyzed, connected to relevant intelligence, and kept available for Backstory investigations and future rehunts.
