Look beyond alerts.
Understand the threat.

Build a more informed view of potential cyber threats through relevant intelligence, hypothesis-driven hunting and investigation of suspicious activity. Petabyte's Threat Intelligence & Hunting services help security teams explore signals, examine context and identify opportunities to improve detection.

Service Overview

Turn security signals into meaningful investigation.

Security alerts provide useful signals, but they may not explain the broader context of a potential threat. Threat intelligence helps teams understand relevant adversary activity, while threat hunting investigates hypotheses and behaviours that may not be identified through existing alerts alone.

Petabyte's Threat Intelligence & Hunting service supports structured investigation using available telemetry, relevant threat information and agreed analytical methods. The scope can be tailored to your environment, security objectives and data sources.

Our focus

Ask better questions. Investigate the evidence. Improve detection.

Threat hunting is an investigative activity, not a guarantee that every threat will be found. Outcomes depend on available telemetry, scope, techniques and evidence.

Service Capabilities

Intelligence and hunting built around your environment.

Combine relevant threat context with structured investigation to help understand suspicious activity and identify security improvement opportunities.

Threat Intelligence Analysis

Review relevant threat information to understand potential adversaries, campaigns, techniques and indicators applicable to your organisation.

Proactive Threat Hunting

Develop investigation hypotheses and examine available security telemetry for behaviours that may warrant further analysis.

Indicator and Behaviour Analysis

Review relevant indicators and behavioural patterns within the context of available logs, endpoint data and other agreed sources.

Detection Gap Identification

Identify opportunities to refine detection logic, improve telemetry coverage and address relevant investigation gaps.

Investigation and Triage Support

Examine suspicious findings, correlate available evidence and support decisions on appropriate investigation or escalation.

Threat Reporting and Recommendations

Document relevant observations, investigation findings and recommendations to inform security operations and improvement planning.

Threat Hunting Methodology

A repeatable process for evidence-led hunting.

Structured hunting helps analysts define what they are looking for, test a hypothesis against available data and determine what the evidence supports.

STAGE / 01

Form a Hypothesis

Define a threat scenario or suspicious behaviour based on relevant intelligence, known techniques or environmental context.

STAGE / 02

Collect Evidence

Identify suitable data sources and examine available telemetry relevant to the investigation question.

STAGE / 03

Analyse Findings

Correlate observations, investigate anomalies and assess whether the evidence supports further action.

STAGE / 04

Improve Defences

Document conclusions and identify potential improvements to detection rules, telemetry or investigation procedures.

Engagement Process

From threat context to actionable findings.

The engagement is scoped around relevant threat questions, available data sources and the security outcomes your team wants to investigate.

01

Define Objectives

Agree the investigation scope, threat questions, priorities and available data sources.

02

Research and Investigate

Review relevant threat context and conduct the agreed analysis against available telemetry.

03

Validate and Document

Record observations, supporting evidence, investigation limitations and relevant conclusions.

04

Recommend Improvements

Identify relevant detection, monitoring or response improvements based on the findings.

Frequently Asked Questions

Threat intelligence and hunting explained.

Common questions about proactive investigations and threat context.

What is threat intelligence?

Threat intelligence is analysed information about potential cyber threats, adversaries, campaigns, indicators and techniques. It helps security teams understand context and make more informed decisions.

What is threat hunting?

Threat hunting is a proactive investigation process in which analysts examine available data for evidence of suspicious or potentially malicious activity that may not have triggered existing alerts.

How is threat hunting different from security monitoring?

Security monitoring generally evaluates telemetry and alerts against configured detection logic. Threat hunting uses defined hypotheses and investigative analysis to explore potential activity that may not be apparent through routine alerting.

What data sources are needed?

Depending on the investigation, useful sources may include endpoint telemetry, identity and authentication logs, network records, cloud logs and SIEM data. Available sources affect the depth and scope of analysis.

Does threat hunting guarantee threat detection?

No. Findings depend on the investigation scope, data quality, telemetry coverage and the activity being examined. An investigation may also identify visibility or detection gaps without confirming malicious activity.

Can this service improve existing detections?

Hunting findings can inform detection tuning, new detection hypotheses, telemetry improvements and investigation procedures. Any implementation work should be agreed as part of the engagement.
