Threat Hunting Services
Waiting for automated alerts is no longer enough. Sophisticated attackers know how to blend in with normal network activity, escalate privileges quietly, and evade detection for months. That's why modern institutions need a proactive security layer designed to uncover and eliminate threats that go unnoticed.
NewPush combines human-led threat hunting with machine-speed analysis to identify anomalies with our platform at NewPush Platform to stop insider threats, compromised accounts, and lateral movement across your systems—giving you confidence and control.

Frequently Asked Questions About Threat Hunting
What is threat hunting, and how does it differ from threat detection?
Why do Higher Education institutions need threat hunting services?
Higher Ed environments are highly dynamic, with open networks, diverse users, and decentralized IT. This makes them ideal targets for advanced persistent threats. Threat hunting helps institutions uncover threats that may have gone undetected due to these complexities.
Does NewPush’s threat hunting platform integrate with our current tools?
Yes. Our services integrate with existing log sources, SIEMs, endpoint protection platforms, and cloud telemetry. We normalize this data using OCSF to ensure consistency and visibility across your tech stack.
What types of threats do you typically find during hunts?
We often uncover lateral movement, suspicious service account activity, beaconing behavior to command-and-control servers, misuse of administrative tools, and signs of compromised credentials or insider abuse.
Is threat hunting required for compliance?
While not always explicitly required, many frameworks—such as CMMC, NIST 800-171, and DORA—include proactive monitoring and investigation as best practices. Threat hunting helps institutions demonstrate maturity in their cybersecurity posture.
How often is threat hunting conducted?
Our service is continuous and dynamic. Unlike periodic penetration tests, threat hunting is an ongoing process, with analysts continuously forming hypotheses based on new data and threat trends.
Will we receive documentation and recommendations?
Yes. Every investigation is logged, and you'll receive detailed reports outlining findings, severity, affected assets, and next-step recommendations for response or remediation.
Can you help contain threats once they’re found?
Absolutely. If we uncover an active threat, our team supports containment, isolation, and response, working alongside your internal staff or in coordination with our MDR team.
