Proactive Threat Hunting
Last updated: May 2026
Overview
Most organizations are reactive — they find out about a breach after the attacker has been resident for months. NOVE flips this model with a proactive threat hunting platform that combines behavioral anomaly detection, an integrated YARA engine, and MITRE ATT&CK navigator into a single workspace. Hunt for threats that evade signature-based detection and reduce dwell time from months to days.
Key Challenges
- →Purely reactive security posture — teams only investigate after an alert fires, leaving sophisticated attackers free to operate undetected.
- →Industry average dwell time of 207 days gives attackers months to establish persistence, exfiltrate data, and cover their tracks.
- →YARA rules scattered across analyst laptops and internal wikis — no central rule management, versioning, or test harness.
- →No behavioral baseline means anomalous activity from insider threats or living-off-the-land techniques goes unnoticed for months.
Average dwell time reduced from 207 days to 11 days.
How NOVE Helps
- ✓UEBA behavioral anomaly detection builds entity baselines and surfaces statistically significant deviations — catching living-off-the-land and insider threats that signatures miss.
- ✓Integrated YARA hunting engine with 500+ curated rules, versioned rule management, and a built-in test harness — deploy a new rule to the entire fleet in seconds.
- ✓MITRE ATT&CK navigator maps hunt hypotheses to specific techniques, helping teams prioritize hunts based on adversary TTPs relevant to their sector.
- ✓Live IOC enrichment from global threat intelligence feeds — any indicator found during a hunt is automatically cross-referenced with known adversary infrastructure.
- ✓Custom hunt playbooks save institutional knowledge — document a successful hunt once and replay it on a schedule or trigger it on new intelligence.
