Threat Hunting

Updated over 5 months ago

Service Overview

It’s not unknown that companies with high levels of cybersecurity can become victims of cybercrime. In many cases, attackers are found to have been present within the targeted organization for months or even years before they were eventually detected, often only after significant damage has already occurred. This highlights that advanced attackers can evade traditional defenses. Therefore, it is recommended that every CISO operate under the assumption of compromise and proactively conduct threat-hunting activities to expose malicious presence within the network.

This Threat Hunting service proactively identifies undetected threats in the organization’s environment, enhancing detection capabilities and reducing attacker dwell time.


Methodology

Threat hunting is a proactive cybersecurity activity involving targeted searches for signs of compromise in systems and networks. The process begins with defining the scope, objectives, and hypotheses, considering the organization’s assets, network architecture, critical data, and recent threat intelligence.

Threat hunting may be conducted using forensic analysis of server images, internal security and audit systems, or through the deployment of dedicated forensic tools. The activity is performed by experienced cybersecurity professionals trained in advanced techniques for identifying and mitigating cyber threats.
