What we look for.
A focused hunt for the signs an attacker leaves behind.
Unauthorised network access
Looks for signs that someone has accessed systems or networks they should not have.
Credential theft
Detects evidence that user or system credentials have been stolen or misused.
Privilege escalation
Finds attempts to gain higher rights than a user should have, a common step after initial access.
Lateral movement
Traces movement between systems that indicates an attacker spreading through your environment.
Data exfiltration
Looks for signs that data has been staged or moved out of your organisation.
