Proactive attacker detection
Threat hunting is a proactive approach to IT security that involves actively searching for hidden cyberattacks and suspicious activity within your IT environment – even when no warnings or alerts have been triggered.
Unlike traditional security solutions, which primarily react to known threats, threat hunting takes an active and hypothesis-driven approach. Our security experts analyse log data, user behaviour and system activities holistically to identify attackers at an early stage who have already bypassed existing protection mechanisms.
This enables us to detect real threats at an early stage, effectively reduce risks and sustainably enhance the security of your IT infrastructure.
Why Threat Hunting?
- Early detection of hidden attacks
- Reduction of risks and consequential damage
- Greater transparency regarding the actual threat landscape
- Strengthening your overall cyber resilience
With threat hunting, you gain valuable time and control – and always stay one step ahead of attackers.
The ideal threat hunter
An ideal threat hunter combines several demanding areas of expertise in a single role. They think like an attacker, possess in-depth technical skills of the highest calibre and understand networks from the perspective of an experienced engineer.
Our Threat Hunters know security solutions inside out, analyse incidents with the precision of an incident responder, and communicate findings clearly and confidently to all stakeholders. Thanks to their many years of experience as security analysts, they also understand the limitations of reactive security approaches – and step in precisely where traditional measures are no longer sufficient.
This comprehensive skill set makes threat hunting with ConSecur particularly effective and valuable for your IT security.
Our services
- Proactive development of initial hypotheses
- Execution and documentation of a hunt
- Establishment of interfaces with IT, use-case engineering and other stakeholders

Threat hunting can be commissioned either as an extension of existing security monitoring or as a standalone service.
1. Hypothesis & Planning
The starting point is a specific assumption regarding a potential threat – derived from cyber threat intelligence, known attacker TTPs, observed anomalies or operational experience. The scope, objectives and added value of the hunt are clearly defined and agreed with all relevant stakeholders.
2. Conducting the threat hunt
The hypothesis is systematically tested. To this end, we analyse log, endpoint, network and cloud data in a targeted manner, focusing on signs of hidden or previously undetected attacker activity. Existing detection mechanisms are deliberately scrutinised and supplemented.
