Hypothesis-driven, not alert-driven.
Alerts catch what vendors already know. We start from how specific threat actors actually operate — their living-off-the-land binaries, their persistence tricks, their C2 rhythms — and hunt for those behaviors in your telemetry.
- Living-off-the-land detection — abused PowerShell, WMI, BITS, and cloud CLIs that blend into legitimate admin work.
- Persistence & foothold sweeps — scheduled tasks, registry run keys, SSO tokens, OAuth grants, and shadow access paths.
- Telemetry gap analysis — we show you the blind spots the hunt exposed, then help close them.
What’s included
Hunts that leave detections behind.
Hunt
Scoped hunt missions
Time-boxed missions against specific actor TTPs relevant to your sector — documented hypothesis, method, and verdict.
Confirm
Validated findings only
Every lead is triaged to confirmed, benign, or monitoring-worthy. Your SOC gets signal, not a pile of maybes.
Endure
Persistent detections
Successful hunts are converted into tuned SIEM/EDR detections with baselines from your own environment.
Engagement flow
Two-week missions, compounding value.
A typical mission runs two weeks: telemetry review and hypothesis design, active hunting with your SOC observing, then handover of findings and permanent detections. Repeat missions compound — each one starts from better telemetry than the last.
What telemetry do you need? +
EDR data is the foundation; identity logs and network flow make hunts far stronger. We start with a telemetry review and tell you exactly what each source unlocks.
How is this different from a SOC? +
A SOC triages alerts at volume. Hunting starts without alerts — from adversary behavior — and looks for what the alerts missed. The two functions complement each other.
Can our team shadow the hunt? +
Encouraged. Shadowing transfers tradecraft to your analysts, and joint hunts consistently surface more than either side finds alone.
