A threat hunting practice, in development
MetisHunter is being built to help analysts decide what to hunt, record why, and keep what the team learned. It is not available yet and is not part of any plan until it ships.
MetisHunter
In developmentThreat hunting as a practice, beside the XDR you already use.
Every XDR and SIEM can search. None of them helps an analyst decide what to look for, records why they looked, or remembers what the team learned. MetisHunter is being built to do that. It is not available yet, and it is not part of any plan until it ships.
Planned: a hunt in five stages
01
ObserveThe trigger, the intel, and the data you have and lack02
OrientA hypothesis that could be proved wrong03
DecideThe questions and queries, and what a hit means04
ActEach result, kept as evidence05
LearnFindings, blind spots, lessons and new detections
The same OODA loop MetisLoops trains, with a fifth stage that feeds what the hunt learned into the next one.
Planned
Hypothesis first
A guided hypothesis: the adversary behavior, the evidence it would leave, and what would prove it wrong. More than an indicator search.
Planned
Organization memory
Every closed hunt joins a searchable library: what was hunted, what was found, and what the team could not see.
Planned
Program maturity
A measure of the hunt program, from waiting for alerts to turning hunts into detections, with the next step for each area.
Planned
Audit-ready reports
Hypotheses, scope, data gaps, evidence, findings and the reviewer's sign-off, in a document an auditor can read.
One method across the platform. Learn the loop in MetisLoops, rehearse it in a MetisForge exercise, then apply it in a hunt.

Questions about MetisHunter.
Is MetisHunter available?
No. MetisHunter is in development. It is not available and not part of any plan until it ships. Everything described on this page is planned.
Does MetisHunter replace our XDR or SIEM?
No. It is being built to sit beside the tools you already use. Your XDR or SIEM runs the searches; MetisHunter is for deciding what to look for, recording why, and keeping what the team learned.
How does MetisHunter relate to MetisLoops and MetisForge?
All three use the same OODA loop. Learn the loop in a MetisLoops drill, rehearse it with the team in a MetisForge exercise, then apply it in a hunt.
