Service Overview
This service provides a sampling-based due diligence threat hunting exercise to identify active breaches or threats in the networks and assets of the company in interest.
Threat hunting is a proactive cybersecurity approach that involves actively searching for malicious activity and potential threats within an organization's network and systems. This activity is carried out by a dedicated team trained in advanced techniques to detect and mitigate cyber threats.
Methodology
The process begins with a planning phase in which the scope, objectives, and hypotheses of the activity are defined. Considerations include the organization’s network architecture, recent threat intelligence, critical data, and asset inventory. This ensures that the hunt is targeted and aligned with the organization’s risk profile and security concerns.
Threat hunting may be performed by analyzing server images, leveraging the organization’s existing security and audit systems, or deploying dedicated forensic tools.
