Threat Hunting

Threat hunting is a proactive, hands-on analysis of network and system data to uncover threats that evade automated tools, to ultimately help the businesses detect and respond before damage occurs.

Threat hunting helps organizations shift from reactive defense to proactive security by uncovering threats that often go undetected by automated tools. It enhances visibility into your networked environment, identifies malicious behaviors early, and strengthens your security posture through focused analysis. By combining expert knowledge with threat intelligence, threat hunting can reduce risk exposure and increases preparedness for future attacks.

Threat hunting uses the logs and telemetry you already collect from your endpoints, networks appliances, cloud environments, and security platforms. These include technologies like Microsoft Defender, Microsoft Log Analytics, Cisco Secure Endpoint, SentinelOne, Cortex, or Splunk, LogRhythm, and others. We work with your existing technologies and, when needed, can add lightweight tools to maximize visibility and uncover hidden threats without disruption or added cost.

A Focused Hunts engagement starts with scoping to align goals and review objectives. We analyze your security data with minimal disruption and collaborate with your team as needed for validation. After thorough analysis, we deliver an actionable report with findings and practical recommendations.

Focused Hunts crafts tailored hypotheses from broad assessments of compromise indicators to targeted investigations of advanced adversary behaviors. Hunts can range from validating data quality to deep dives on sophisticated threats using threat intelligence and extended telemetry. Each hunt uncovers visibility gaps and strengthens detection capabilities.
Did a real threat actor exploit vulnerabilities prior to identifying by the penetration testing?
Did threat actors exploit zero-day vulnerabilities prior to patching (e.g., SharePoint, NetScaler, Cisco, etc.)?

If threats are found, Focused Hunts promptly notifies your team with clear, actionable guidance for rapid containment using your existing resources. While we don’t provide incident response, our findings support effective mitigation and can assist forensic investigations by sharing key indicators.

Do not wait for a security incident to disrupt your business.
