Threat Hunting and Discovery Services

Find what alerts miss

Threat Hunting That Connects Weak Signals to Real Risk

Detections catch what they’re tuned for—hunts find what’s quiet by design. Forgepath combines attacker tradecraft, environment knowledge, and your telemetry to develop testable hypotheses: credential theft via token replay, suspicious admin tool use, dormant persistence, cloud role abuse, staged exfiltration, and more. We work across your EDR/XDR, identity systems, cloud audit logs, and SaaS platforms to identify indicators and behaviors that slip past threshold-based alerting.

You’ll receive documented leads, validated findings, and containment recommendations, plus opportunities to improve your detections, logging, and response playbooks. The goal is simple: reduce dwell time, shrink blast radius, and raise confidence that hidden threats won’t linger.

See the quiet. Surface the truth.

Inside Your Threat Hunting Service

We turn faint signals into clear decisions—evidence you can act on, detections you can run, and gaps you can close.

Talk to An Expert

Coverage across the places attackers hide.

Endpoints & Servers: EDR/XDR telemetry, LOLBins, scheduled tasks, WMI, PsExec/WinRM usage, unusual parent–child processes.
Identity & Access: sign-in anomalies, conditional access gaps, risky OAuth apps, stale privileged accounts, unusual token scopes.
Cloud & SaaS: AWS/Azure/GCP audit logs, org/project policy deviations, service-account key use, storage access anomalies, M365/Google Workspace oddities.
Network & Data: lateral movement patterns, rare egress destinations, data staging to atypical stores.

Small clues that point to big problems.

Process/command mashups consistent with credential theft or discovery.
Improbable travel & token replay that bypass geographic or device expectations.
New global admin or wide IAM role grants outside change windows.
Mass file access with atypical tools or staged archives in user paths or buckets.
EDR/AV tamper attempts and logging blind spots.

Actionable outputs—not just curiosities.

Lead sheets: hypothesis, evidence, why it matters, and suggested next steps.
Validated findings: confirmed issues with scope, affected hosts/accounts, and containment recommendations.
Detection upgrades: ready-to-deploy queries/analytics for SIEM/XDR, plus logging improvements that raise signal.
Executive notes: plain-language summary of what was found and what changed.

Collaborative, transparent, and safe.

Access: read-only data sources and a joint channel for rapid questions.
Cadence: kick-off to align on high-value assets and recent incidents; short touchpoints to review leads and decisions.
Handoffs: clean owner assignments for containment and remediation; optional working sessions with IR or SOC.

What accelerates the hunt.

Data source inventory and access (EDR/XDR, identity, cloud, SaaS, network where applicable).
Known high-risk assets/users, recent incidents, and change windows.
Current detection rules and logging retention.
