XDR Connectors for Unified Threat Detection

XDR is only as powerful as the data it consumes. ForshTec engineers custom connectors that normalize and unify EDR, identity, ZTNA, and cloud telemetry — eliminating the detection blind spots that form when your tools can’t communicate at the schema level.

Build Your XDR Connector

Don’t Let Telemetry Gaps Blind Your XDR Strategy.

XDR is only as powerful as the data it consumes. When your endpoint detection, identity providers, and cloud logs speak different languages, your “extended” detection is full of blind spots. Forshtec specializes in Ecosystem Engineering, building robust connectors that ensure high-velocity data flows seamlessly from your edge to your analytics engine. We solve the hard engineering problems of data normalization and API rate-limiting so your SOC can focus on hunting threats, not fixing pipelines.

Why Choose Us

Cross-Layer Expertise: From ZTNA (Zero Trust Network Access) to EDR and CSPM, we understand the nuances of various security layers. We ensure every telemetry source is integrated with precision.

OCSF-Aligned Pipelines: We leverage the Open Cybersecurity Schema Framework (OCSF) to ensure your data is normalized at the source, allowing for instant interoperability between different security vendors.

Advanced ETL Performance: High-volume XDR telemetry can crash standard connectors. We build Advanced ETL Pipelines designed to handle massive throughput for SIEM/EDR/XDR environments without data loss.

Custom SDK Development: For security startups and vendors, we develop Connector SDKs that allow your customers to integrate your product into their existing XDR ecosystem with a "plug-and-play" experience.

SIEM CONNECTOR CAPABILITIES

XDR CONNECTOR

Multi-Source Telemetry Unification

Connectors that pull real-time telemetry from EDR, ZTNA, CASB, identity providers, and cloud platforms — normalized to a single OCSF-aligned event stream. One data model. One detection engine. No blind spots.

OCSF-Native Data Normalization

All ForshTec XDR connectors normalize at the source using the Open Cybersecurity Schema Framework (OCSF) — the vendor-neutral standard backed by AWS, CrowdStrike, Splunk, and 100+ security companies. Instant interoperability across platforms, no custom field remapping required.

Connector SDK Development

Purpose-built SDKs that allow your customers to integrate your product into their existing XDR ecosystem with a plug-and-play experience. Reduces per-customer integration time from weeks to hours.

Advanced ETL Pipeline Design

High-throughput pipelines engineered for enterprise XDR environments handling 50,000+ EPS without data loss, latency spikes, or API bottlenecks. Built with rate limit queuing, burst buffering, and priority routing.

Bi-Directional Response Integration

Go beyond read-only telemetry. We build connectors that allow XDR detection rules to trigger response actions across your stack — isolate endpoint, revoke token, block IP, update firewall policy — with full audit logging.

Cross-Vendor Correlation Engineering

Detection logic that correlates signals across EDR, identity, network, and cloud layers to surface multi-stage attack patterns — lateral movement, cloud escape, credential abuse chains — that single-tool detection misses entirely.

Telemetry Gap Analysis

We identify the critical data sources—from Cloud Security Integrations to Application Security—that are currently missing from your XDR view.

Schema Mapping & Parsing

Our engineers map raw data to standardized schemas (like OCSF), ensuring that alerts from a firewall and a cloud-native app are correlated correctly.

Connector Engineering

Using platform-specific SDKs, we build high-performance connectors for Elastic, Splunk, or proprietary XDR marketplaces, focusing on low-latency data delivery.

Validation & Scaling

We stress-test the integration against real-world data volumes, ensuring that as your enterprise grows, your XDR connectors scale with you.

Full-Stack Visibility

Integrate everything from Vulnerability Management to DSPM (Data Security Posture Management) into a single, searchable XDR interface.

Zero-Trust Integration

Seamlessly connect your ZTNA and identity telemetry to monitor user behavior and access patterns across the entire network.

Marketplace Readiness

Are you a vendor? We help you build and certify connectors for Security Marketplaces, expanding your reach and making your product easier to adopt.

FAQs

Common Questions About XDR Connectors.

Everything you need to know about building, certifying, and maintaining connectors for your security ecosystem.

What's the difference between a SIEM connector and an XDR connector?

A SIEM connector focuses on log collection, parsing, and field normalization for search and scheduled detection. An XDR connector is optimized for real-time telemetry streaming at low latency, cross-tool correlation logic, and bi-directional response actions. Both can be OCSF-aligned, but XDR connectors are engineered for the sub-second latency and higher throughput that XDR detection pipelines require.

Do all ForshTec XDR connectors support OCSF normalization?

Yes. Our Custom Use Case Development service is designed specifically for proprietary or legacy tools that lack off-the-shelf integrations.

Can you build a connector SDK that our customers can use to self-integrate?

Yes. We deliver connector SDKs as a packaged product — including the connector library, documentation, sample integration code, and a test harness that customers can run against their own environment. This reduces per-customer integration time from weeks to hours.

How do you handle API rate limits for high-volume telemetry sources?

Our ETL pipeline design includes rate limit queuing, exponential backoff logic, burst buffering, and priority routing to ensure zero data loss under peak telemetry volumes. We test against your actual API rate limits and documented rate limit tiers during development.

Can you publish our connector to the CrowdStrike or SentinelOne marketplace?

Yes. ForshTec has experience with XDR marketplace connector submissions including the CrowdStrike Marketplace and SentinelOne Singularity Marketplace. We handle engineering, documentation, and the submission process end-to-end.
