  • DEVICES, SYSTEMS, AND METHODS FOR UTILIZING A NETWORKED, COMPUTER-ASSISTED, THREAT HUNTING PLATFORM TO ENHANCE NETWORK SECURITY
    Publication number: 20250384127
    Abstract: Systems and methods for a threat-hunting development environment are disclosed herein. The systems and methods can include: executing a networked, assisted, threat-hunting environment that, via a dedicated user interface, is configured to establish data transfer pipelines between the threat-hunting environment and the at least one tenant network, the data transfer pipelines maintaining a connection between the threat-hunting environment and the at least one tenant network during an active session, via the at least one SIEM server, to allow continuous data communication; query the at least one tenant network with a query developed via an integrated code editor; receive the query result data from the at least one tenant network: analyze, the result data for a detected threat in the at least one tenant network; and based on the analyzed result data, push a subsequent query to the at least one tenant network to respond to detected threat.
