Hunting for IoCs: from singles searches to an automated and repeatable process

This blog post explains how Sekoia Defend automates and scales IoC matching and retrohunting by integrating a curated CTI database directly into its detection platform, enabling real-time and historical searches across logs without manual effort. It outlines features such as native Sekoia IoCs, support for up to 500,000 custom IoCs, automated retrohunt based on indicator validity periods and a rolling 5-day lookback, and a rules engine that continuously scans for indicators to reduce analyst workload and speed response. The article positions automated IoC hunting as essential for closing detection gaps and improving security operations compared to manual processes in traditional SIEM/XDR tools.
