Threat Hunting

Proactively Uncover Hidden Cyber Threats

Leonardo’s threat hunting service identifies cyber threats that evade traditional security controls by conducting in-depth, intelligence-driven investigations. Our analysts proactively search for indicators of compromise – such as ransomeware and malware – using advanced detection methods to, uncovering stealthy cyber attacks that automated systems might miss.

What is Threat Hunting? 

Threat hunting is defined by the NCSC as: "The proactive, iterative, and human-centric identification of cyber threats that have evaded existing security controls. Simply put, threat hunting involves skilled analysts that have knowledge of attack techniques, hunting through data, in order to find evidence of a security breach."

Unlike reactive approaches, threat hunting actively assumes compromise and uses hypothesis-driven investigations to uncover unknown threats in your network.
