Threat hunting is the practice of proactively searching for cyber threats that are lurking undetected in a network. Cyber threat hunting digs deep to find malicious actors in your environment that have slipped past your initial endpoint security defenses.

After sneaking in, an attacker can stealthily remain in a network for months as they quietly collect data, look for confidential material, or obtain login credentials that will allow them to move laterally across the environment.

Once an adversary is successful in evading detection and an attack has penetrated an organization’s defenses, many organizations lack the advanced detection capabilities needed to stop the advanced persistent threats from remaining in the network. That’s why threat hunting is an essential component of any defense strategy.

Why Choose Us

We know what it takes to secure your computer or business. We follow the below steps to locate the threat:

Step 1: The Trigger

A trigger points threat hunters to a specific system or area of the network for further investigation when advanced detection tools identify unusual actions that may indicate malicious activity. Often, a hypothesis about a new threat can be the trigger for proactive hunting. For example, a security team may search for advanced threats that use tools like fileless malware to evade existing defenses.

Step 2: Investigation

During the investigation phase, we use technology such as EDR (Endpoint Detection and Response) to take a deep dive into potential malicious compromise of a system. The investigation continues until either the activity is deemed benign or a complete picture of the malicious behavior has been created.

Step 3: Resolution

The resolution phase involves communicating relevant malicious activity intelligence to operations and security teams so they can respond to the incident and mitigate threats. The data gathered about both malicious and benign activity can be fed into automated technology to improve its effectiveness without further human intervention.

Throughout this process, Morpheis will gather as much information as possible about an attacker’s actions, methods and goals. We also analyze collected data to determine trends in an organization’s security environment, eliminate current vulnerabilities and make predictions to enhance security in the future.
