Threat Hunting

Expose Hidden Threats - Hunt. Detect. Secure.

Proactive Threat Hunting Services

The largest threat that organizations face today is the inability to detect various types of attackers as a compromise occurs.

Organizations can no longer solely rely on reactive technologies because attackers have learned how to bypass these and move stealthily within the environment. To effectively combat these threats, organizations must engage in Threat Hunting, in which they operate under the assumption that they have already been compromised and search out adversaries in their environment. 

Threat Hunting is the process of proactively searching an organization for malicious activity that evades existing security solutions. Even though attackers are skilled at bypassing detection devices, their tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) still leave traces of activity. By searching for Indicators of Attack (IOA) in the environment, threats that are or have been active in the environment will be found.

When you engage with TrustedSec’s Threat Hunting team, you will gain more than just an assessment. The outcome will provide expansion in strategic visibility and actionable insight. The following aspects outline a customized threat hunting engagement:

Discovery & Scoping

  • Collaboration with the organization to understand the environment, business priorities, and current detection capabilities
  • Establish focused threat hunting objectives to guide a purposeful and aligned engagement strategy

Hypothesis-Driven Hunting

  • Formulate and validate hunting hypotheses informed by threat intelligence, MITRE ATT&CK techniques, and risks unique to the organization’s environment
  • Leverage telemetry from SIEM, EDR, cloud platforms, endpoints, network traffic, and other relevant data sources 

Flexible Hunting Approach

  • Conduct Threat Hunts across any security toolset or technology stack already in place
  • Apply critical thinking and contextual analysis across available telemetry to uncover hidden threats, regardless of platform

Detailed Findings & Recommendations

  • Deliver comprehensive reports that highlight suspicious activity, potential attack paths, and any identified evidence of compromise
  • Provide clear, prioritized recommendations for remediation and enhancements to detection capabilities

Program Maturity Guidance

  • Feedback on gaps in visibility, detection logic, and operational workflow
  • Strategic guidance to evolve the threat hunting program toward long-term resilience
