Threat Hunting

Hunt With Evidence, Not Instinct. Find What Alerts Miss.

Signatures catch yesterday’s threats. NetWitness arms your hunters with full packet capture and cross-domain visibility to track down threats that never trigger an alert and prove it with ground-truth evidence.

The Challenge

Reactive Security Doesn't Find Hidden Threats. Hunters Do.

Threat hunting in cybersecurity exists for one reason: the threats doing the most damage are the ones that never trigger an alert. They move quietly, blend into normal traffic, and live off the land for weeks or months before anyone notices. By the time detection fires, the attacker is long past the point of entry.

The problem isn't that teams aren't trying. It's that they're hunting without the right foundation:

No packet-level evidence to confirm or eliminate a hypothesis quickly
Hunt workflows split across disconnected tools and data silos
Incomplete historical data that makes retrospective analysis unreliable
Cyber threat intelligence with no session context to act on it meaningfully
AI-enabled adversaries engineered to stay below alerting thresholds
No unified workflow for hybrid cloud threat hunting across IT, OT, and cloud environments
Manual effort required to trace lateral movement without session reconstruction

The Solution

The NetWitness Approach

NetWitness enables proactive threat hunting by unifying network, endpoint, log, and cloud telemetry into a single investigative workflow giving hunters the visibility, context, and evidence to find threats that never trigger an alert.

Unified Visibility Across Every Layer

NetWitness brings together NDR, EDR, SIEM, and UEBA into one platform. Hunters work across network traffic, endpoint telemetry, log data, and cloud activity without switching tools or losing context mid-hunt.

Full Packet Capture for Evidence-Backed Hunting

NetWitness captures complete network sessions and rich metadata across the environment. When a suspicious signal surfaces, hunters can pivot directly into packet-level detail to reconstruct sessions and understand exactly what happened.

Behavioral Analytics to Surface What Rules Miss

NetWitness UEBA baselines user and entity behavior across the environment. It flags deviations unusual access patterns, abnormal lateral connections, privilege misuse giving hunters credible starting points even without an active alert.

Historical Telemetry for Retrospective Analysis

Long-term data retention means hunters can go back and re-examine past activity against new indicators. What looked clean weeks ago can tell a completely different story when viewed through fresh intelligence.

How NetWitness Works

This architecture keeps your hunters ahead of the threat not behind the alert.

Unify telemetry from network, endpoint, logs, and cloud into one hunt workflow

Surface behavioral anomalies across users, hosts, and sessions using UEBA

Pivot from metadata signals to full packet evidence without switching platforms

Trace lateral movement and reconstruct attacker timelines using session replay

Turn confirmed findings into detection rules that close coverage gaps permanently
