What is Threat Hunting?
Threat hunting is a proactive, expert-driven process to identify threats that evade automated detection systems. Rather than waiting for alerts, threat hunters actively search for indicators of compromise, anomalous behavior, and sophisticated attacks hiding within normal network activity.
How Threat Hunting Works
We work with your team to develop hunting hypotheses based on your environment, threat landscape, and security maturity. These hypotheses target specific threat patterns, techniques, or behaviors most relevant to your organization.
Our analysts collect relevant security telemetry from event logs, network traffic, and other endpoint data then perform deep-dive analysis to uncover patterns, anomalies, and indicators of compromise aligned with the hunting hypothesis.
Through manual investigation and correlation analysis, our team identify threats, suspicious behaviors, and potential compromise indicators that automated systems missed. We validate findings against known threat intelligence and MITRE ATT&CK frameworks.
Each finding is comprehensively documented with context, evidence, impact assessment, and recommended remediation steps. Reports include actionable intelligence for your security team, executive summary for leadership, and technical details for incident response.
We provide briefings to your security team, share hunting methodologies and queries, and support your team's response to findings. This knowledge transfer builds your internal threat hunting capabilities for long-term security improvement.
Why Threat Hunting Matters
Finds What Others Miss
Automated tools have blind spots. Threat hunting identifies sophisticated threats hiding in legitimate activity.
Reduces Dwell Time
Early detection and identification of threats significantly reduces time from breach to discovery.
Builds Internal Capability
Our hunting methodologies and knowledge transfer strengthen your team's ability to hunt independently.
Actionable Intelligence
Unlike vulnerability scans, threat hunting delivers concrete findings tied to your specific environment and risks.
Threat Hunting Engagement Types
Hypothesis-Driven Hunts
Focused investigations based on specific threat scenarios relevant to your organization.
- APT campaign hunts
- Technique-specific investigations
- Lateral movement detection
- Data exfiltration searches
Compromise Assessments
In-depth investigations when you suspect a breach or need to validate you haven't been compromised.
- Post-incident investigations
- Insider threat assessments
- Proactive compromise checks
- Third-party breach impact analysis
