Hunters is a cybersecurity company with a mission to revolutionize security operations. Its primary goal is to empower security teams by automating the entire Threat Detection, Investigation, and Response (TDIR) process. Hunters aims to replace repetitive manual tasks with machine-powered automation, including detection, correlation, and investigation, thereby freeing up analysts to focus on proactive threat protection.
The company’s SOC Platform is positioned as an AI-powered SIEM alternative. Hunters seeks to help security teams mitigate real threats more quickly and reliably than traditional SIEMs by automatically identifying and responding to significant incidents across the entire attack surface. The platform is designed to be a force multiplier for existing security tools by connecting data from across a company’s entire technology stack to provide full threat context. In the market, Hunters is often compared to other security solutions and holds a notable position in the SOC as a Service, XDR Security, and SIEM solution categories.
Offerings, Capabilities, and Integrations
Hunters provides a Security Operations Center (SOC) Platform that serves as a Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) alternative. The platform is designed to reduce risk, complexity, and cost for security teams. Hunters’ key capabilities include data ingestion, built-in threat detection, and automated correlation and investigation. This approach is intended to shorten the time it takes to understand and respond to genuine threats. The company’s competitive edge lies in its ability to automate the entire threat detection, investigation, and response process, which helps to reduce alert fatigue and improve analyst efficiency. Hunters integrates with hundreds of products across cloud, endpoint, network, identity, and email security, allowing it to ingest data from a wide array of sources for comprehensive analysis.
Products and Services
Hunters’ core offering is the Hunters SOC Platform, a Next-Gen SIEM built to streamline security operations. This platform is its flagship product and is designed to automatically prioritize, investigate, and respond to alerts using artificial intelligence and automation. The platform’s main features include:
- Automated Investigation: Every alert is automatically investigated, which significantly reduces the need for manual triage. The system enriches alerts with additional data, assigns a risk score, and clusters similar threats to reduce redundant work.
- Built-in Detection Engineering: The platform includes a set of continuously updated detection rules maintained by Hunters’ security experts, known as Team Axon. This eliminates the need for security teams to build and maintain their own detection rules.
- Security Data Lake: Hunters offers the flexibility for customers to use their own data lake or leverage one managed by Hunters, built on Snowflake. This allows for cost-effective scaling of data volumes and avoids vendor lock-in.
- Correlation Engine (Stories): The platform automatically correlates related alerts and security events from various sources into a single, contextualized view of an attack.
- Team Axon: This is a service that provides customers with access to Hunters’ cybersecurity experts for assistance with incident investigations, proactive threat hunting, and rapid response to emerging threats.
Target Customers
Hunters primarily targets small to mid-sized security teams that are often overwhelmed by a high volume of alerts and manual investigation processes. The platform is designed to be a force multiplier for these teams, allowing them to achieve more with limited resources. Hunters also caters to Managed Security Service Providers (MSSPs) with a multi-tenant platform that enables them to deliver Managed Detection and Response (MDR) services more efficiently. The platform’s benefits for these customers include reduced alert noise, faster threat detection and response times, and lower operational costs. Companies like Booking.com, ChargePoint, and Cimpress leverage the Hunters SOC Platform to empower their security teams. The platform is utilized across various industries, including IT services, healthcare, transportation, and banking.
