What is Threat Intelligence (CTI)?

Threat Intelligence (CTI) is actionable, analyzed information about cyberthreats tailored to your organization. It turns raw data into context who is attacking, how they operate (TTPs), what indicators they use (IoCs), and which of your assets are at risk. CTI empowers security teams to detect threats earlier, prioritize response, and proactively harden defenses.

What is Threat Hunting?

Threat Hunting is the proactive search for hidden threats and anomalous behaviour inside your environment. Rather than waiting for alerts, our hunters use intelligence, analytics, and forensic techniques to find attackers that bypass automated tools reducing dwell time and preventing long-term compromise.

Why You Need CTI + Threat Hunting

Automated tools generate alerts but they don’t always reveal intent, context, or attacker tradecraft. Combining CTI with human-led Threat Hunting provides:

Early detection of targeted attacks and APTs.
Prioritised remediation based on business impact.
Faster incident containment and lower breach costs.
Strategic security investments informed by real threat data.

The Threat Intelligence Lifecycle

Planning

We align intelligence goals with your business risks and stakeholder needs.

Data Collection

Aggregate data from dark web, threat feeds, OSINT, internal logs, partners, and ISACs.

Processing

Normalize, de-duplicate and enrich data (apply MITRE ATT&CK mapping, TTP identification).

Analysis

Produce contextual intelligence: actor profiles, likely attack paths, and actionable IoCs.

Dissemination

Deliver prioritized alerts, detection rules, and playbooks via dashboards and integrated channels.

Feedback

Continuous refinement from hunters, SOC, and business teams to close intelligence gaps.

Types of Threat Intelligence We Deliver

  • Tactical: IoCs, IPs, hashes, phishing indicators for use in SOC detection and blocking.
  • Operational: TTPs, toolsets, and campaign analysis helps defenders understand how attacks will unfold.
  • Strategic: Board-level insights on industry risks, geopolitical threats, and supply-chain exposure for decision-makers.

    • Our Threat Hunting Approach

  • Hypothesis-Driven Hunting: We create hunt hypotheses from CTI (e.g., “If actor X targets supply chains, where are our weak dependencies?”) and chase evidence across telemetry.
  • Data Fusion: Correlate EDR, SIEM, network telemetry, cloud logs, and identity data to uncover stealthy activity.
  • Adversary Emulation: Use MITRE ATT&CK scenarios to simulate probable attacker paths and verify controls.
  • Rapid Triage & Containment: Hunters validate findings, generate playbooks, and hand off prioritized incidents to your SOC or our MDR team.

    • What We Look For (Common Targets & Signals)

  • Credential compromise and suspicious authentication patterns
  • Lateral movement and privilege escalation attempts
  • C2 communications and anomalous outbound traffic
  • Data staging and exfiltration behaviors
  • Supply-chain / third-party compromise indicators
  • Unusual process execution, persistence mechanisms, and living-off-the-land techniques

    • Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

    CTI provides context and indicators about who is attacking and how; Threat Hunting uses that intelligence plus telemetry to actively search for intrusions inside your environment.

    Basic hunts can begin within days of onboarding; deeper data integration and continuous hunting scale over 2–4 weeks depending on telemetry sources.

    Yes, we integrate with common platforms (Splunk, Elastic, QRadar, Sentinel, CrowdStrike, SentinelOne, Palo Alto Cortex XDR, and SOAR tools) to deliver detections and automate responses.

    No, our analysts enrich and prioritize feeds to minimize noise and deliver high-confidence, actionable alerts mapped to business risk.

    Absolutely. We collect and correlate cloud logs, containers, identity providers, and on-prem telemetry for full visibility.
