Cyber Threat Hunting
Services & Solutions

IoC-based threat hunting is the most simple type of threat hunting available and what most of our competitors mean when they say they do threat hunting. Log intensive, this method requires an analyst to search through logs for identifiers (think a known-bad HASH or IP address).

Using this intelligence, our team can detect malware infections, data breaches, and other security threats before they become harmful to your business. 

Additionally, IoCs provide valuable information that can be used to proactively protect your business safe from cyber threats and prevent similar attacks from happening in the future.

Tactics, techniques, and procedures – referred to as TTP – are the activity patterns associated with a specific threat actor or group of actors. TTP-based threat hunting requires a tier 2 threat hunter or above to think like an attacker and look for scenario-based attack evidence throughout your network. Buchanan’s approach to hunting for TTP is systematic and thorough, following MITRE ATT&CK® guidelines.

TTP provides critical intelligence as to how threat actors perform cyber attacks. Leveraging this information, our team can more efficiently identify possible sources of the attack and escalate the threat by correlating it to the activity of known actors.

By consistently reviewing TTP, our team will continuously enhance our investigative processes to recognize suspicious activity and proactively respond to ensure your environment remains secure.

With DFIR, our team scans and analyzes volatile memory from over 1,000 devices per hour, enabling us to proactively use previously labor-prohibitive hunting techniques, leaving absolutely no stone unturned. If there’s anything malicious running or scheduled to run in your environment, our analysts will find it.

The technology that enables our forensic threat hunters is also integrated with our SIEM, launching forensic investigation every time an alert involves an endpoint. This adds a level of accuracy to our work that is unparalleled. Utilizing this process, our experts are able to work with endpoint, network, and forensic evidence, cutting false positives out of our triage process and allowing your team to focus only on validated alerts.
