Cyber Threat Hunting Programme

Tech Centre Cyber Arena Cyber Threat Hunting Programme

Programme Overview

The Cyber Threat Hunting programme delivers a practical, end-to-end methodology for conducting modern threat hunting within enterprise security environments. The training focuses on how to plan, investigate, analyse, and document threat hunts using real data sources, professional frameworks, and industry tools. 

Participants apply hypothesis-driven and data-driven hunting approaches mapped to frameworks such as MITRE ATT&CK, the Cyber Kill Chain, and the Diamond Model. The programme emphasises translating hunt findings into detections, playbooks, and continuous SOC improvements. 

Artificial intelligence is introduced as a force multiplier to accelerate analysis, enrichment, and documentation, while maintaining human validation and analytical rigor. Through hands-on exercises and realistic APT scenarios, participants develop a repeatable and professional threat hunting methodology aligned with real-world security operations.

Module 1: Threat Hunting Frameworks and Methodologies 

Introduces professional threat hunting models, including MITRE ATT&CK, the Cyber Kill Chain, and the Diamond Model. Participants learn the full hunting cycle and how to structure repeatable, hypothesis-driven investigations. 

Module 2: Data Sources and Visibility 

Explores where attacker evidence exists across SIEM, EDR, network logs, registry, DNS, and proxy data. Focuses on overcoming visibility gaps and mapping attacker techniques to relevant telemetry. 

Module 3: Tools and Hunting in Action 

A practical walkthrough of threat hunting using SIEM, EDR, network analytics, threat intelligence enrichment, and YARA. Participants convert findings into detections and SOC process improvements. 

Module 4: AI in Threat Hunting 

Examines how AI accelerates query generation, anomaly detection, enrichment, and reporting. Emphasises responsible use, validation, and collaboration between human analysts and AI tools. 

Module 5: Threat Hunting Exercise – Intelligence to Hunt 

Participants translate a threat intelligence report into a structured hunt, identify indicators and behaviours, and conduct guided investigations using real-world techniques. 

Module 6: Advanced Threat Hunting Scenario – FIN7 APT 

A realistic, end-to-end hunting scenario simulating FIN7 operations. Includes live debriefing with the Red Team to explain attacker techniques, followed by Q&A and lessons learned.
