Active Threat Hunting
Your analyst team proactively hunts — not waiting for alerts
What it does
AlertMonitor's analyst team doesn't wait for alerts to fire. They proactively hunt for indicators of compromise and attacker TTPs across your environment — looking for what hasn't triggered yet. Threat hunting runs against your telemetry: endpoint logs, network flows, identity events, and cloud activity. Findings become alerts with full narrative context, not raw log dumps.
The dwell time problem: The average attacker dwell time in SMB environments is 11 days before discovery. Reactive alert-based monitoring catches events. Threat hunting finds what reactive monitoring missed — before the attacker completes their objective.
Capabilities
- IOC hunting: known malicious IPs, domains, file hashes matched against your telemetry retroactively
- TTP-based hunting: MITRE ATT&CK technique patterns searched across endpoint and network data
- Living-off-the-land detection: LOLBins, PowerShell obfuscation, WMI persistence abuse
- Dormant implant detection: beaconing patterns, DNS tunneling, periodic command-and-control signals
- Hunt frequency tuning: high-risk clients get continuous hunting, standard gets weekly sweeps
- All findings documented with evidence chain and recommended remediation steps
How it works
Threat hunting queries run against AlertMonitor's normalized event store, which retains endpoint telemetry, network metadata, and identity logs with configurable retention. Hunters use a combination of YARA rules, Sigma detections, and custom hunt queries crafted from current threat intelligence. New intelligence from active campaigns is incorporated within 24 hours of publication.
