Advanced Threat Hunting
A proactive, hypothesis driven technique for uncovering threats that evade automated detection. Analysts search for indicators of compromise across network and system telemetry rather than waiting for an alert to fire.
A proactive technique, not a wait-for-alert one.
Analysts search for indicators of compromise (IOCs) across network and system telemetry through continuous monitoring, rather than waiting for an automated alert to fire.
What this closes.
Automated tooling only catches known signatures, not novel attacker behavior.
Threats can sit undetected in an environment for months without a hunting program.
Without a documented hunt process, findings are inconsistent between analysts.
Where this connects.
Common questions.
How is hunting different from monitoring?
Monitoring responds to alerts the tooling generates. Hunting is hypothesis driven: analysts go looking for indicators of compromise across network and system telemetry without waiting for an alert to fire.
What do you need access to?
Network and endpoint telemetry across the estate, which is what makes it possible to follow activity between systems rather than examining each one in isolation.
How often does it run?
On an ongoing monthly cadence, delivered remotely by our SOC.
We already have detection tooling. Why add this?
Automated tooling catches known signatures. It does not reliably catch novel attacker behaviour, which is how threats end up sitting undetected in an environment for months.
