INTELLIGENCE-DRIVEN CYBER THREAT HUNTING

Threat actors are constantly evolving their tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) and the malware they use to evade security software. Chances are, eventually, an attacker will get through an organization’s security protections. Once threat actors are within a network, they can sit undetected for months, quietly harvesting all the data they need to sell on the cyber underground, or move laterally through your networks to conduct further damage. 

Threat hunters proactively seek out the threats that have snuck past defenses and are lurking undetected within their networks. By reducing ‘dwell time’ — the period between intrusion and discovery — threat hunters can mitigate the risk of impact from a cyber attack. And when the cost of a data breach goes beyond the bottom line, impairing reputation and even public safety, threat hunting becomes a key part of any security strategy.

Identify and stop advanced threats faster

Behavioral threat hunting involves continuously studying attacks in the wild, evaluating their TTPs, and understanding how advanced threat actors think and act. Threat hunters proactively seek out TPPs and evidence in your environment that signal malicious behaviors of highly-motivated actors, helping you identify precursors to ransomware attacks and the malicious use of native operating system tools. Your threat hunters have access to an expanding library of pre-validated hunt packages on the HUNTER471 platform. This helps them zero-in on tested ways for efficiently identifying threats, ensuring every minute spent on a hunt is beneficial, measurable, and effective so your hunters can move to the next threat. Your team can simulate an attacker’s behavior in a controlled environment to improve targeted detection and prevention mechanisms, fast-track incident response, and create new adversary insights specific to your environment. Use our threat hunting to:

Reduce dwell time for previously undetected threats
Enrich threat intelligence with adversary insights specific to your environment
Identify gaps in MITRE ATT&CK methods covered by hunts
Convert hunt findings into new detections for EDRs and SIEMs
Find visibility gaps in endpoint and logging configurations
Discover and prioritize vulnerabilities and misconfigurations for remediation
Apply real-time awareness to retrospective log data in incident response

Proactively mitigate advanced cyber attacks.

How Intel 471 Can Help

Proactively seek out threats that are lurking undetected within networks.

 Intel 471’s intelligence-driven threat hunting helps you proactively seek out threats that have snuck past defenses and lurk undetected within networks. We help reduce the time between intrusion and discovery, and mitigate the risk of impact from a cyber attack, including costs that impact the bottom line, brand, and reputation—even public safety. Intel 471 transforms your teams into skilled threat hunters, and helps them conduct structured hunts, unstructured hunts, and situational hunts. Intel 471 helps your hunters stay knowledgeable and prepared to identify and disrupt advanced persistent threats before they strike with up-to-the-minute intelligence and unparalleled insights into cyber threats.
