Another project that is currently only happening in my head - I am thinking about security operations teams that I think often do the same things in different companies. Namely there is a lot of tinkering with detections and alerting, often for the same services. I think this could be cost optimized by being offered as a SaaS.
At one point we were on a market for solutin like theirs and we talked with their engineering (we temporarily lifted the block) and I have to say the product is solid (though not suitable for our needs, due to some specifics). We still use Vector. Soon after we needed to enable the block again.
We have implemented such a system at a company I worked at, where we also took into account the credential stuffing aspect as you talk about it. It is quite challenging to ensure no information leaks (in content and in other request parameters, including response times) when users transition from the partially (un)authenticated state (username + password) towards 2FA. I have to say that security aspect is noticeable in a significant drop in credential stuffing attacks volume, but usability wise I see why this is not a popular approach :). I personally hate it, especially when 2FA that is used is TOTP.
