Threat hunting beyond automated alerts
Managed Threat Hunting goes beyond waiting for routine detections. Specialists actively search network, endpoint and cloud telemetry for activity that may have evaded automated defenses, analyze findings, and shape a targeted response and follow-up improvements.
02
Search actively
Threat hunters look for hidden activity that may have evaded automated defenses, tracing suspicious behavioral clues and related evidence.
Stage outcome: Behavioral clues and evidence to investigate
03
Analyze and scope
Analysts examine the nature and potential impact of a finding, identify related assets and develop an appropriate response plan.
Stage outcome: Analyzed finding and impact scope
04
Respond, review and improve
A targeted response follows the agreed process. After the hunt, the team reviews the incident and provides practical recommendations to strengthen defenses.
Stage outcome: Response plan and defensive recommendations

Before you start
Prepare telemetry for a hunt
Identify available endpoint, network and cloud logs, retention window, hunt question and approver for containment. Review a bounded hunt report against the agreed hypothesis, sources and time window; record visibility gaps and follow-up even if no threat is found.

In practice
Hunting beyond routine alerts
A security team wants to know whether relevant activity may be present in telemetry without triggering routine alerts. Managed threat hunting conducts focused analysis and turns findings into defensive recommendations.
