Infocyte HUNT uses a forensic methodology that is radically different from traditional threat detection tools. Most other threat hunting tools rely on analyzing event-based security logs from sensors and software (agents) installed on the endpoint. This approach is both time-consuming and data intensive — requiring a lot of data before conclusions can be drawn.
Rather than analyzing logs, Infocyte HUNT directly inspects volatile memory in the asset (host, system, server, or workload) to gather primary data including rootkit hooks, malware persistence mechanisms, application vulnerabilities, and other digital forensics artifacts.
Those familiar with agentless vulnerability scanners will be familiar with how Infocyte HUNT is architected. By deploying lightweight dissolvable agents, Infocyte HUNT sweeps thousands of assets per hour, spending only a few moments on each host to collect vital information about: what has run, what is scheduled to run, and what is currently running in memory.
This sweep gathers forensic data from each host, even those without conventional detection tools installed. The collected forensic data, when combined with Infocyte's AI-powered analysis and enriched with multiple independent sources of threat intel, provides a comprehensive picture of the compromised state your endpoints — within minutes.
Additionally, Infocyte HUNT is the only solution that can meaningfully facilitate cyber security compromise and risk assessments. By automating the process of finding threats in live volatile memory, and combining that with cloud-based threat intelligence, Infocyte equips security operations teams and security assessors with the power to forensically evaluate the state of the network, without the lengthy manual process involved in traditional digital forensics.
No other technology approaches automated, scalable threat detection and cyber security incident response from a forensic standpoint. Infocyte HUNT stands alone in this approach.
