Managed Threat Hunting
Proactively Seek Out Hidden Threats.
What It Is and Why It’s Important
Managed Threat Hunting is a proactive cybersecurity approach where security experts actively search through an organization’s networks and endpoints to detect and isolate advanced threats that may evade traditional security defenses. Rather than waiting for alerts, this service focuses on identifying indicators of compromise (IOCs) and unusual behavior, especially from persistent or stealthy attackers.
In the UAE, with growing digital transformation and cloud adoption across sectors like banking, healthcare, oil & gas, and government, threat actors are constantly evolving. Relying solely on automated systems is no longer sufficient—threat hunting fills that crucial proactive detection gap.
Common Mistakes Organizations Make
- Relying only on antivirus or EDR tools without human analysis.
- Thinking threat hunting is a one-time effort rather than continuous.
- Not integrating business context into hunting strategies.
- Underestimating the dwell time of attackers (often weeks or months).
- Lack of alignment between threat intelligence and internal data.

Real-World Relevance or Impact
In a recent engagement with a logistics firm in Dubai, Intracyber’s hunters uncovered a misconfigured cloud instance being probed via a brute force attack—completely missed by automated defenses. Early detection and swift remediation prevented a potential data leak.
Another government client discovered lateral movement activity initiated by compromised third-party software—a classic case of supply chain compromise, intercepted thanks to our proactive hunting model.
Optional Extras: Tips, Stats, and Insights
- Dwell time for advanced threats averages 21 days.
- Threat hunting can reduce breach costs by up to 40%.
- Tip: Incorporate threat hunting into your quarterly cybersecurity strategy reviews for better preparedness.
- UAE’s National Cybersecurity Strategy strongly promotes proactive threat identification measures such as threat hunting.
