Threat Intelligence & Threat Hunting
Proactive external threat intelligence (IOC/TTP tracking, threat actor & campaign profiling, dark-web/brand & credential-leak monitoring, IOC feeds), hypothesis-driven threat hunting and MITRE ATT&CK mapping; operational intelligence that feeds SOC/managed-security detection and drives purple teaming with the red team.

Overview
Our Threat Intelligence & Threat Hunting capability turns security from merely reacting to incoming attacks into an intelligence discipline that anticipates threats before they reach you and proactively hunts for an adversary already hidden in your environment. The goal is to see an attacker's intent, opportunity and capability early, and to strengthen your defences before an incident occurs.
Through proactive external threat intelligence we track the threat actors, campaigns and their tactics, techniques and procedures (TTPs) targeting your organisation and sector; by monitoring dark-web marketplaces, leak forums and channels we catch brand abuse and leaked credentials early. Every indicator (IOC) we collect is delivered not as raw data but as actionable intelligence whose context and reliability have been assessed.
We operationalise the intelligence we produce and, through hypothesis-driven threat hunting, search your environment for hidden threats that no detection rule yet covers. We map every finding to the MITRE ATT&CK framework, feed the detection capability of your SOC/managed-security team, and drive red team scenarios with the behaviour of real threat actors — closing the purple teaming loop.
We structure the intelligence we produce across three levels so it reaches the right audience: strategic reporting on sector and threat-landscape trends for leadership, operational profiles of the specific actors and campaigns most likely to target your organisation, and tactical output — IOCs, TTPs and detection logic — that your SOC and red team can act on immediately. Every deliverable traces back to a Priority Intelligence Requirement, so intelligence work stays anchored to what your organisation actually needs to know rather than produced for its own sake.
Scope
We cover the full cycle from intelligence production to proactive hunting:
- External threat intelligence: profiling threat actors and campaigns targeting your organisation and sector.
- IOC/TTP tracking: collecting, contextualising and prioritising indicators (IOCs) and tactics, techniques and procedures (TTPs).
- IOC feeds: current, contextualised indicator feeds for SIEM/EDR/firewall integration.
- Dark-web, deep-web and channel monitoring: leak forums, marketplaces, Telegram and paste sites.
- Brand and credential-leak monitoring: typosquatting, spoofed domains and access/credentials put up for sale.
- Hypothesis-driven threat hunting: proactively seeking an adversary hidden in the environment, beyond known alerts.
- MITRE ATT&CK mapping: positioning every actor, campaign and hunt on the technical matrix.
- SOC and red team integration: detection feeding and intelligence-led purple teaming.
- Threat-landscape and sector reporting: recurring summaries of the actors, campaigns and TTPs most active against your industry and geography, keeping strategic decisions grounded in current threat activity rather than point-in-time snapshots.
- Risk-based prioritisation: weighing which tracked indicators and TTPs represent the most immediate risk based on how actively threat actors are using them, rather than treating every finding as equally urgent.
- Executive reporting: translating tactical IOC/TTP detail and hunt findings into risk language leadership can act on, alongside the technical output your SOC consumes directly.
Methodology
We produce intelligence through a repeatable cycle built on recognised frameworks:
- Priority Intelligence Requirements (PIRs): defining your organisation's priority intelligence needs.
- The intelligence cycle: applying the direction, collection, processing, analysis and dissemination stages.
- MITRE ATT&CK — actor and technique mapping; an F3EAD and intel-driven hunting approach.
- Structuring attack analysis with the Diamond Model and the Cyber Kill Chain.
- Source reliability and evidence assessment: filtering out false-positive noise.
- Hypothesis generation and testing hunts against data (logs, EDR telemetry).
- F3EAD in practice: Find, Fix, Finish, Exploit, Analyze, Disseminate — turning a hunting hypothesis into a validated finding and then into intelligence that feeds back into the next PIR cycle.
- Diamond Model analysis: mapping every incident against its four core vertices — adversary, capability, infrastructure and victim — to understand not just what happened but who is behind it and how they operate.
- Cyber Kill Chain staging: placing observed activity on the reconnaissance-to-actions-on-objectives chain to identify the earliest point at which detection or disruption is possible.
Deliverables
We deliver outputs that advance your defence with real threat data:
- Organisation-specific threat actor and campaign profiles; PIR-based intelligence reports.
- Contextualised IOC lists ready to feed into SIEM/EDR, with detection rule recommendations.
- Dark-web / credential-leak alerts with prioritised response recommendations.
- Threat hunting findings: ATT&CK-mapped detections and detection-coverage gaps.
- Intelligence that drives red team scenarios and purple teaming feedback.
- An executive summary and a prioritised defence roadmap.
- Diamond Model and Cyber Kill Chain write-ups for significant findings, giving your SOC and incident-response teams a structured view of adversary infrastructure and where in the chain to intervene.
- A PIR-aligned reporting cadence, so intelligence updates arrive tied to your organisation's actual requirements rather than as one-off, disconnected alerts.
