Emerging Threat Hunting:
A Key Element of a Successful Security Strategy
A cybersecurity strategy that doesn’t include threat hunting is a strategy set up for failure. Threat hunting puts security on the offense instead of simply playing defense. Instead of waiting for an attack to trigger an alarm, threat hunting takes a comprehensive, holistic approach to proactively monitor for and identify suspicious or potentially malicious activity. This proactive stance allows organizations to take action earlier, minimizing or even avoiding damage.
For Alert Logic’s managed security services, our global security operations center (SOC) is always on the hunt.
With over 20 years of successful threat hunting, we’ve developed a process that combines automated detections with proactive, manual review of threat telemetry. Our veteran security experts search, log, monitor and neutralize threats before they can cause serious problems.
Our objective: Identify the breadth of a threat, assess the risk to our customer, and detect active indicators of compromise or attack.
Around-the-clock vigilance
Every hour of every day, our threat hunters uncover abnormal activity and spot the earliest indicators of compromise in our customers’ IT environments. Our threat hunting blends science and art, enabling us to make the right connections to reveal hidden threats, pinpoint their location, and guide you in eliminating them.
Hiding in plain site
At Alert Logic, we take a proactive approach to threat hunting. While other MSSPs passively wait for alerts, our threat hunters constantly use their expertise and a curated set of proven solutions to monitor, identify, and mitigate attacks at the earliest opportunity. With the added benefit of the Fortra Threat Brain, Fortra’s unified threat intelligence platform, we have extensive access to industry-leading threat intelligence and insights. This knowledge enhances our active analytics and analysis, preparing us for the next advanced threat.
Continuous protection
With hundreds of new vulnerabilities discovered weekly, our threat hunting capabilities, combined with detection of well-known and established threats, is critical to protect your organization. The continuous research from our threat intelligence community ensures your IT environment remains secure.
No matter which of our managed security services you choose – Fortra XDR, Fortra’s Alert Logic MDR, or Fortra Managed WAF – you’ll gain peace of mind knowing our threat hunters are always on the job.
