  • The extended mission is to conduct counterintelligence, build threat actor dossiers, disrupt adversary operations, identify misconfigurations / vulnerabilities, and identify visibility / detection gaps, if any.

  • Deliverables :

  • Hunt Hypotheses : Hunt hypotheses describe how an actor might operate in the network while remaining undetected.
  • Hunt Reports : Hunt reports describe the original hypothesis and all iterations.

  • Advanced SME IR Reports : Timely Advanced SME IR Support for Priority 1 Security Events.
