Platform · Threat Hunting

The threat hunting platform
that ends in a verdict.

A hunt starts with your hypothesis, runs as far as you allow, and ends with a verdict. Try it first in the Example Corp sample workspace.

Coverage you can prove

Every hunt keeps a verdict log and a timeline, even when it finds nothing. Quiet is a result, not a shrug.

Checkpoints you set

Mandatory checkpoints stop the hunt until you rule. Advisory ones let it run. You set Scout's reach.

Playbooks you own

Save any hunt as a versioned playbook. Import and export hunt.md or CACAO v2, or start from more than 240 playbooks on the Huntbase Hub.

02Report, playbook, trigger

The hunt ends. The knowledge does not.

Every hunt closes with a report you can export to Word or Markdown: findings, evidence, recommended actions, owners and open questions. Save it as a playbook and arm it to run again.

  • Triggers. Arm a playbook to run when a watcher fires, above a severity you choose.
  • Schedules. Run coverage hunts hourly, daily or weekly, without anyone remembering to start them.
  • Readiness before you run. A playbook lists the sources it needs and whether this organisation has them connected.

03In the loop

Every hunt leaves something behind.

A confirmed pattern becomes a watcher. A verdict closes the insight that started it. The next hunt starts from what this one learned.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Can I try it without connecting my data?

Yes. Huntbase includes a sample workspace, Example Corp, with guided hunts, so you can run a hunt before you connect anything.

What does a hunt leave behind?

A verdict log, a timeline of what was asked and found, and a report you can export as Word (.docx) or Markdown. A confirmed pattern can become a watcher.

Can I bring hunts I already have?

Yes. Hunts import and export as hunt.md, an open Markdown format, and as CACAO v2 playbooks. The Huntbase Hub has more than 240 published hunt playbooks to start from.

How much does Scout do on its own?

As much as you allow. Choose Guide, Collaborator or Operator mode, and set checkpoints. Mandatory checkpoints stop the hunt until you decide. Nothing runs without your approval.
