44 / Detection engineering & threat hunting
Look for behaviour that matters in your environment.
Develop detections and focused hunts around relevant threats, available telemetry, and clear investigation questions.
Discuss your requirementsSpecialist delivery and availability are confirmed during scoping.
Detection engineering
A clear scope.
A useful outcome.
Choose a threat hypothesis and check whether the necessary evidence exists. Build or tune analytics, validate them with approved test activity, and document what an analyst should investigate. Treat a hunt with no observed evidence as a bounded result, not proof that the environment is uncompromised.
What we cover
- Threat hypotheses and telemetry requirements
- Detection logic and enrichment design
- Historical or live-data hunts within agreed access
- Analyst triage steps and validation scenarios
What you take away
- Prioritized detection and hunting backlog
- Versioned analytics with tested assumptions
- Hunt findings, data gaps, and investigation notes
- Validation procedures and maintenance ownership
How to engage
A focused engineering sprint or recurring detection and hunting cycle.
What progress looks like
Relevant behaviours detected in validation, actionable alert quality, and telemetry gaps resolved.
The final scope, deliverables, and timing are agreed for your engagement.
Assess
Agree the scope and examine the controls, configurations, and exposures that matter.
Prioritize
Translate findings into clear actions, accountable owners, and realistic next steps.
Improve
Support remediation, review the evidence, and keep the programme moving forward.
