    Tier-3 Threat Operations

    Tier-3 support for your SOC, covering threat hunting, incident response and CTI. We work from assumption of breach and go after the operator who is already inside.

    Our Operating Principles

    We don't wait for alerts. Hunts run on hypotheses and go after techniques your detections do not cover yet.

    01

    Assumption of Breach

    We operate under the premise that prevention eventually fails. Our hunters proactively sweep your environment for lateral movement, persistence, and defense evasion.

    02

    Forensic Rigor (DFIR)

    We run host forensics and timeline analysis across the affected estate. The case closes once the evidence confirms eradication.

    03

    Actionable CTI

    Intelligence is filtered down to your sector and your technology stack before it reaches you, so what lands in your inbox is a campaign that can actually touch you.

    04

    SOC Force Multiplier

    We sit above your internal team as Tier-3 escalation. We run adversary emulation against your detections and mentor your analysts on what comes back.

    FAQ

    Frequently asked questions

    Straight answers to what clients ask us most.

    Threat hunting is the deliberate search for an attacker who bypassed detection, driven by a hypothesis instead of an alert. The hunter takes one technique from the MITRE ATT&CK framework, say T1021.001 for RDP, writes a query across 30 to 90 days of telemetry and checks whether that behaviour ever appeared in the estate. A useful hunt ends one of two ways: a confirmed compromise, or a new detection shipped to production. That is also the only sensible way to measure whether hunting pays for itself. Deep logs are what make it possible at all, which is why we keep 18 months of log retention. The technique catalogue is public at attack.mitre.org.

    DFIR (Digital Forensics and Incident Response) combines forensic analysis with a managed response to an incident. The forensic half preserves evidence so it survives scrutiny, meaning memory and disk images and logs with verified integrity. The response half uses those findings to stop the attack and restore operations. Order matters: rebooting a server too early destroys memory contents, and with them the proof of how the attacker got in. Methodologically we work from NIST SP 800-61, the incident handling guide. We cover IT and OT; ICS and SCADA forensics is a discipline of its own, and we work in it.

    Cyber threat intelligence (CTI) is processed information about adversaries, their techniques and their infrastructure, turned into a form a defender can act on. It comes at three levels: strategic for the board, operational for detection planning, and tactical as indicators of compromise that go straight into the SIEM. What separates intelligence from a raw feed is that it answers what to do today, which technique to detect first and which CVE to patch first. Without CTI, prioritisation follows publication dates and CVSS scores, which rarely match what is happening in your sector. ENISA publishes the European picture every year in its Threat Landscape report.

    Yes. A retainer guarantees team availability and a contract signed in advance, so during a crisis you work the technical playbook and not the procurement process. Unspent hours roll over into hardening, tabletop exercises or threat hunting.

    As a single language across detection, hunting and incident reporting: hypotheses for hunts, detection coverage mapped into a technique heatmap, adversary behaviour described in the final report. Coverage becomes measurable, comparable over time and audit-friendly.
