Threat Hunting

WHOAMI's Threat Hunting service provides proactive threat search through hypotheses based on threat intelligence, attack technique analysis, and hypothesis validation.

WHOAMI's Threat Hunting service provides proactive threat search through hypotheses based on threat intelligence, attack technique analysis, and hypothesis validation. Unlike reactive detection based solely on rules, our approach identifies advanced and persistent threats that might go unnoticed through directed search and contextual analysis.

Threat Hunting Service

WHOAMI offers its Threat Hunting service to organizations that need to identify advanced and persistent threats that might go unnoticed through traditional detection. Our approach combines proactive search based on hypotheses with threat intelligence relevant to your context.

Threat Hunting for Companies

Our Threat Hunting service is designed for organizations that need to go beyond reactive detection: they seek to identify advanced and persistent threats through proactive search based on hypotheses and threat intelligence. Unlike rule-based detection alone, threat hunting identifies threats that might go unnoticed.

Threat hunting enables your organization to:

  • Identify advanced threats through proactive search based on hypotheses and threat intelligence
  • Detect persistent activity that might go unnoticed through traditional detection
  • Improve security posture through continuous threat identification and recommendations
  • Reduce detection time through proactive threat identification before they materialize
  • Validate controls through identification of gaps in detection and response

Competitive advantage: Threat hunting transforms security from reactive to proactive through directed threat search. We don't wait for threats to be detected: we actively search for them through hypotheses and threat intelligence.

Objectives of the Threat Hunting Service

The main objective of our Threat Hunting service is to identify advanced and persistent threats through proactive search based on hypotheses and threat intelligence, reducing detection time and improving security posture.

Specific objectives include:

  • Identify advanced threats through proactive search based on hypotheses

WHOAMI's Approach to Threat Hunting

Our Threat Hunting service differs by integrating Cyber Intelligence, offensive analysis, and security operations experience with proactive search. We don't perform generic searches: we develop hypotheses based on real threats relevant to your organization.

We integrate our experience in offensive operations and threat analysis to:

  • Develop hypotheses based on threat intelligence relevant to your organization
  • Analyze techniques, tactics, and procedures (TTPs) of relevant adversaries
  • Validate hypotheses through data analysis and correlation with real threats
  • Provide context about adversaries and techniques to accelerate response
  • Connect threat hunting with Red Team exercises and simulations

WHOAMI Difference

While other Threat Hunting services perform generic searches or use standard frameworks, our approach integrates threat intelligence and offensive analysis to develop relevant hypotheses and validate findings through context about adversaries and techniques. We don't just search: we analyze, validate, and provide context.

Threat Hunting Methodology

Our threat hunting methodology integrates multiple approaches to identify threats effectively:

Hypothesis Development

  • Analysis of threat intelligence relevant to your organization
  • Identification of techniques, tactics, and procedures (TTPs) of relevant adversaries
  • Development of hypotheses about potential adversary activity
  • Hypothesis prioritization according to probability and potential impact

Search and Analysis

We perform proactive search and data analysis to validate hypotheses:

  • Proactive search for indicators and patterns in security data
  • Analysis of logs, events, and system data to identify suspicious activity
  • Correlation of findings with threat intelligence and known techniques
  • Hypothesis validation through contextual analysis and correlation

Validation and Context

We validate findings and provide context about identified threats:

  • Finding validation through technical analysis and correlation
