Hypothesis-driven hunts
Scheduled hunts built around techniques attackers use against organizations like yours, such as persistence, lateral movement and data staging.

Threat hunting that assumes compromise
Automated detection catches what someone has already written a rule for, and threat hunting looks for what slipped past. Dark Pools hunters start from the assumption that an attacker is present, form hypotheses mapped to MITRE ATT&CK and search endpoints, identities and networks to prove or disprove them.
Outcomes
What you get
- Evidence of compromise found earlier, or documented confidence that a technique is absent
- Visibility gaps exposed wherever a hunt cannot run because the data does not exist
- New detection rules written from every hunt that finds something worth alerting on
- Early warning when your credentials, data or brand appear on dark-web forums and markets
- Fast answers on whether newly published indicators have touched your environment
How we engage
The engagement, step by step
- 01HypothesisStart from threat intelligence, a recent incident or an ATT&CK technique relevant to your sector, and state what an attacker would leave behind.
- 02Data checkConfirm the telemetry needed to test the hypothesis exists, and record the gap if it does not.
- 03HuntQuery endpoint, identity, network and cloud data for the behaviors described, pivoting as leads appear.
- 04ValidateSeparate malicious activity from legitimate administration, and escalate confirmed findings to incident response.
- 05CodifyTurn repeatable hunt logic into SIEM detections so the same behavior raises an alert next time.
- 06ReportDocument each hypothesis, the data searched, what was found and the coverage improvements made.
Scope
What we cover
IOC and TTP sweeps
Targeted searches when new indicators or attacker techniques are published, so you know whether a campaign has reached your environment.
Dark-web monitoring
Watching criminal forums, markets and leak sites for your domains, credentials, data and executive names.
Brand monitoring
Spotting lookalike domains, impersonation accounts and phishing pages that use your brand to target customers or staff.
Deliverables
What you receive
- 01Hunt plan aligned to your threat profile and MITRE ATT&CK
- 02Per-hunt reports with hypotheses, queries, findings and confidence
- 03New or improved detection rules handed over to your SIEM
- 04IOC and TTP sweep results for newly reported campaigns
- 05Dark-web and brand monitoring alerts with context and recommended action
FAQ
Questions buyers ask
SOC monitoring responds to alerts that existing rules raise. Threat hunting is proactive: hunters search for attacker behavior that no rule has flagged yet, and their findings become new rules for the SOC.
An IOC sweep searches for specific artifacts, such as known malicious IP addresses, domains or file hashes. A TTP hunt looks for attacker behavior, such as unusual credential use or remote execution, and still works when the attacker changes infrastructure.
The hunt becomes an incident. Findings go straight to incident response, through our SOC or your own team, together with the evidence collected so far.
Endpoint telemetry, identity and authentication logs, and network or DNS data give the widest coverage. Hunts adapt to what is available, and every report records which data was searched.
