What is Threat Hunting?
Threat hunting involves searching for hidden malware or attackers that have evaded your organization’s initial security defenses and may cause serious damage if not detected and stopped. Leveraging our team of skilled cybersecurity experts, we not only identify potential threats but also provide comprehensive mitigation strategies to fortify your defenses against evolving cyber risks.

This is based on studying the indicators and methods of known attacks and looking for similar patterns in the network.
Unstructured Hunting
This is based on studying the indicators and methods of known attacks and looking for similar patterns in the network.
Situational Hunting
This is based on a hypothesis about the possible presence of a threat—such as a new vulnerability or a suspicious user behavior—and then the testing of it with data analysis.

FAQ
Threat hunters use various methodologies to create and test hypotheses about potential threats.
Hypothesis-Driven Methodology; during a hypothesis-driven investigation, hunters use threat intelligence and data analysis to formulate and verify educated guesses about possible attacks.
Known Threat Methodology; if there’s already been a compromise or attack, hunters will use tactical threat intelligence to identify and track known malicious behaviors.
Unknown Threat Methodology; if threats are unknown, hunters will deploy powerful data analysis and machine learning strategies to detect anomalies and irregularities that may indicate hidden or unknown threats.
The difference between threat hunting and incident response is that while threat hunting is more proactive, exploratory, and preventive, incident response is more reactive, structured, and corrective.
Insider threat hunting is the process of proactively searching for and identifying potential threats within an organization caused by insiders and then mitigating malicious or negligent insider activities before they can cause significant damage or compromise the security of the organization.
Insiders refer to employees, contractors, or partners—basically anyone who has legitimate access to your company’s network, data, and/or systems.
