Automated detection tools are effective against known threats, but sophisticated adversaries can operate within an environment undetected. Intrinsic Security's Managed XDR service applies continuous, analyst-led threat hunting to identify attackers already present within the environment.
Modern adversaries are increasingly proficient in evading automated detection. They use legitimate tools, compromised credentials and slow, deliberate movement to remain below the threshold of automated alerting.
Attackers can operate quietly inside an environment without generating conventional security alerts.
Compromised credentials can allow adversaries to move through trusted systems unnoticed.
Deliberate movement across systems can remain below automated detection thresholds.
Our methodology is built around the MITRE ATT&CK framework, providing a structured and repeatable model of adversary tactics, techniques and procedures.
Hunts begin with specific, testable hypotheses informed by current threat intelligence, sector risks and previous incident trends.
Analysts examine endpoint, identity, network and cloud telemetry to identify behavioural anomalies.
Findings are mapped against MITRE ATT&CK to identify coverage gaps and confirmed adversary activity.
Confirmed findings become new detection rules and correlation logic to strengthen automated defence.
Recurring hunts are supplemented by targeted investigations following emerging threats, incidents or major changes.
Continuous threat hunting capabilities designed to uncover sophisticated adversary activity beyond automated detection.
Continuous, analyst-led hunting conducted across the environment independently of alert generation.
Structured mapping of hunting activity and detection coverage against adversary techniques.
Behavioural analytics identify anomalous activity that signature-based detection may miss.
Endpoint, identity, network and cloud telemetry are correlated to create a complete attack picture.
Hunt findings are converted into tuned detection logic, continuously strengthening automated protection.
Documented hypotheses, methodology, findings and outcomes support audit and security assurance requirements.
Managed XDR operates as a core capability within Intrinsic Protect, extending detection beyond automated correlation to include continuous, human-led investigation.
Findings from threat hunting directly inform and strengthen SIEM correlation logic and detection use-cases across the broader Managed Security Services portfolio.
Effective security does not rely solely on waiting for an alert. Intrinsic Security's Managed XDR service ensures that adversaries who evade automated detection are actively sought out, identified, and removed before they can achieve their objectives.
