Threat Hunting | Vimy · Stop Waiting for Alerts to Find You

Most threats never fire an alert

Skilled adversaries operate inside the threshold of detection — slow, deliberate, and living off the land. Alert-driven security misses them entirely.

56%

of breaches use valid credentials

No malware, no exploits. Attackers log in with stolen or purchased credentials and blend into normal activity — invisible to signature-based tools.

197 days

average dwell time

Six months of undetected access. Hunters who can shorten that window are the single most effective force multiplier in security operations.

29%

reduction in breach cost

Organizations with active threat hunting programs contain breaches significantly faster and cheaper — but most teams lack the tooling to hunt effectively.

HYPOTHESIS-DRIVEN HUNTING

Start from a hunch. Land on evidence.

Effective threat hunting starts with a hypothesis — "what if an attacker is abusing service accounts?" — and then requires fast, deep data access to prove or disprove it. Vimy is built for exactly that workflow.

Natural language search across all data

Ask questions like "show me all lateral movement from service accounts in the last 30 days" in plain English. No query language required.

Behavioral baseline access

Every entity's normal behavior is modeled and queryable. Hunters can instantly see what "unusual" looks like for any specific user, host, or service.

Hunt-to-incident in one click

When a hunt uncovers real activity, convert it to a formal incident instantly — with the full evidence package already attached.

MITRE ATT&CK

Hunt by TTP, not just by indicator

IOCs expire in hours. TTPs last for years. Vimy maps all detections and behavioral data to the MITRE ATT&CK framework so hunters can think in terms of adversary behavior, not just file hashes and IP addresses.

Coverage gap identification

See exactly which ATT&CK techniques you're blind to — and what data sources would close each gap.

Threat actor TTP matching

Hunt for the specific TTPs used by threat actors known to target your industry. Know who to look for, not just what to look for.

A library of proven hunt packages

Not every hunter starts from scratch. Vimy ships with ready-to-run hunt packages for the most common adversary behaviors — each one tuned to your environment automatically.

Credential access hunting

Detects LSASS access, credential dumping tools, and anomalous authentication patterns that suggest credential harvesting in progress.

T1003 · T1110 · T1078

Lateral movement hunting

Identifies unusual east-west traffic, pass-the-hash/ticket activity, remote service abuse, and anomalous admin tool usage across your network.

T1021 · T1550 · T1563

Persistence hunting

Hunts for scheduled tasks, registry run keys, new service installations, and account creation patterns consistent with attacker persistence mechanisms.
