• Streamline how you work with other cybersecurity teams
• Structure threat hunting expeditions without losing track of activities and clues
• Use statistics and machine learning techniques to hunt threats

The organisations that actively seek out security intrusions reduce the time bad actors spend on their sites, increase their cyber resilience, and build strong resistance to sophisticated covert threats. Cyber Threat Hunting gives a reliable and repeatable framework to see and stop attacks.

About the technology

There is no question about whether your security will come under attack. It already is. The real question is whether you will identify and learn from the attacks, when they occur. Cyber threat hunting assumes that a system has been hacked and reveals the signs that have evaded detection tools or been dismissed as unimportant. In the constantly evolving landscape of modern security, threat hunting is a vital practice to avoid complacency and harden your defences against attack.
