Cyber criminals continue to infiltrate organisations’ networks undetected and gain unauthorised access to critical data. Advanced attackers can remain on their systems for years without ever being detected.
Organisations need to look proactively for and identify any threats in their IT estate and respond quickly and appropriately before they damage their business.
What is Cyber Threat Hunting?
Using world-class technology solutions combining with PwC’s deep expertise in cybersecurity, our team of cyber professionals identify evidence of malicious activity within your IT estate by analysing data pulled from the endpoints, network and external threat sources.
This is augmented by our industry-leading proprietary threat intelligence platform to gain unique insight into signs of historic or active compromises in your environment and provide clear, pragmatic advice for remediation.
Unlike traditional methods of threat detection, our experts apply a layer of advanced threat hunting and analysis techniques to filter through the false positives. This allows us to identify malicious behaviours within your environment to detect actual intrusions.
