Proactively search for signs of compromise and control weaknesses that automated monitoring may miss, focusing hunts on the highest-impact business scenarios.

Threat hunting is proactive assurance: it tests assumptions about visibility, control effectiveness, and attacker behavior before a major incident forces the issue.

Outcomes

  • Earlier discovery of stealthy threats and control gaps
  • Improved detection content based on real findings
  • Better understanding of attacker paths and business impact
  • Stronger preparedness through repeatable hunt playbooks

Typical scope

  • Hypothesis-driven hunts aligned to priority threat scenarios
  • Access to relevant telemetry with privacy safeguards
  • Documentation of findings and follow-up actions
  • Feedback into detection engineering and control improvements

GenAI-enabled execution

Agents can assist with hypothesis generation, query drafting, and result summarization—guardrailed by approved hunt scopes, privacy constraints, and analyst validation of conclusions.
