cyber threat hunting

Threat hunting is becoming increasingly important as companies seek to stay ahead of the latest cyber threats and rapidly respond to any potential attacks. CyBourn leverages human and machine knowledge to contextualize business activities and organizational landscapes. Starting with a baseline profile, we assess posture and a series of attack motives. We turn this knowledge into actionable data that drives security operations and enhances incident response.

Overview

Our threat hunting methodology is designed to provide a common framework for our threat hunters to work and interact as part of the SOC ecosystem in order to provide targeted threat detection and effective, continuous improvement to our automated detection and response capabilities.

Key Benefits

Integrated process

Integrated proactive threat hunting adapted to the SOC infrastructure and the EtherLast™ toolkit.

Increased SOC visibility

Immediate value to SOC detection rules through integration with the SOC process.

Intelligence driven

Leveraged actionable cyber threat intelligence put into action to deliver the most value.

Threat focused

Project-based exercises to evaluate critical assets based on the threat tactics and procedures as defined by MITRE ATT&CK.

Proactive investigative process

Threat hunters are integrated into the SOC team as Tier 3 analysts and work in close proximity to the Tier 1 and Tier 2 extended detection and response teams.

Knowledgeable

Leveraged knowledge of the infrastructure from the core SOC XDR process in order to increase the effectiveness of the hunt.

Our Process

01

(Threat) Model

Assess the threat landscape, active actors, ongoing campaigns, and current events.

0 day
Existing risks
Internal actors

02

SEARCH

Define the hunt parameters and required data to reach objectives.

Define queries
Identify assets
Aggregate logs
Hunt for IoCs
Hunt for behavior

03

TRACK

Information is structured and analyzed to form the pattern of an attack.
Artifacts are tracked through the network-identifying artifacts and behavioral patterns consistent with an attack.

04

RESPOND

Contain
Remediate
Recover from the attack

05

IMPROVE

Defining new automated alerts tailored by the threat hunting team. Efficiently detect specific attacks while they happen.
