Hunt Management Module: Purpose-Built for Measuring Threat Hunt Success and Value

As teams grow, they need tooling to perform consistent and repeatable processes that improve structured threat hunting methodology, which helps hunt teams stay ahead of undetected threats and evolving adversary behaviors.

The Hunt Management Module for the HUNTER solution makes this easy as a purpose-built centralized hunt management tool for tracking and measuring key hunt performance metrics, coordinating collaborative hunts, managing hunt queries, and reporting. The tool’s interactive dashboard provides continual MITRE ATT&CK technique gap analysis, enabling teams to quickly pivot to relevant behavioral hunt packages and evaluate threat coverage.

With built-in intuitive tactical and strategic reporting, the Hunt Management Module is an essential tool for teams to monitor and demonstrate improvements to security posture and visibility in your environment.

The reporting capabilities allow teams to choose relevant features for strategic or tactical reporting, including: executive summaries, threat details, queries, and hunt-package details, findings, evidence, scope, remediation, and outcome.

Hunter Insights Dashboard

The Hunt Management Module’s dashboard conveniently allows for managing all aspects of the threat hunting process, and offers comprehensive insights into the effectiveness of an organization’s threat hunting program.

Guided Threat Hunts

The module’s Guided Threat Hunts feature provides expert guidance on pivoting after executing an initial hunt query, helping your team identify notable artifacts and hunt for adversary behaviors with greater speed, decisiveness, and consistency.

Bring Your Own Hunt (BYOH)

Maximize the value of hunt content your own hunt team builds. With BYOH, you can bring your existing hunt queries and develop new hunt content aligned with the industry-leading HUNTER methodology for hunt creation and management. It instills consistent documentation and CTI contextualization to improve hunter efficiency, collaboration, and hunt decision-making.

Powerful Automation for Efficient Hunt Workflows & Reporting

Create your own automations for advanced threat hunting workflows and hunt management use cases with the HUNTER API. Teams can automate the correlation and staging of hunt packages based on threat intelligence reports. Quickly search against the HUNTER API to pull all relevant hunt packages to the related report, gather technical and behavioral details, then push the query logic to your tool to stage the next steps of the hunting process.

HUNTER allows you to automate the operationalization of intelligence reports based on contextual tagging of the threats. Teams can stage all related hunt packages into a Hunt Template, execute emulation and validation packages based on the associated threats, then assign the hunt to complete the rest of the human-driven hunt process.

Save valuable analyst hours by using HUNTER’s reporting feature to complete threat hunting reports and automatically export the report and hunt information to internal tracking tools like Jira.
