Active Monitoring & Threat Hunting — Cybersecurity That’s Always On Duty

🧠 Active Monitoring & Threat Hunting

24/7 Protection That Goes Beyond Antivirus


🔍 The Problem with “Set and Forget” Security

Most businesses think cybersecurity is like a security camera — install it and you’re good to go.

But today’s threats don’t knock politely or wait until business hours.

They begin quietly:

  • A suspicious login attempt

  • A hidden piece of malware

  • A phishing email that opens a backdoor

The only way to stop them?

👉 Active monitoring and threat hunting — spotting trouble before it becomes damage.


🛡️ What We Do at Covenant Defence

We don’t just install antivirus and walk away.

We provide real-time, proactive protection — like having a cyber bodyguard watching your back 24/7.


👀 What Is Active Monitoring?

Active Monitoring = Constant surveillance of:

  • Devices

  • Network traffic

  • User behaviour

  • System integrity

We detect and respond to:

  • 🌍 Suspicious login attempts (especially overseas)

  • 🦠 Malware or ransomware signatures

  • 🚨 Devices contacting known malicious servers

  • 🧑‍💻 Unusual user behaviour

  • 📉 Exploits of outdated systems

🎯 Goal: Catch threats early — before they cost you data, time, or your reputation.


🕵️‍♂️ What Is Threat Hunting?

Threat Hunting = Proactively searching for stealthy threats that evade basic defences.

  • We don’t wait for alerts — we investigate.

  • We look for the footprints attackers leave behind.

  • We think like hackers to find what others miss.

🔧 Powered by SentinelOne:

  • 🤖 AI-powered behavioural analysis

  • 📈 Storyline forensics to trace attack paths

  • 🔁 System rollbacks after ransomware or malware

  • 🧱 Attack surface mapping to reveal vulnerabilities

  • 🧠 Purple AI & SIEM integration for advanced insight


🧠 Real Intelligence — Not Just Alerts

Many security services flood you with alerts and leave you to figure it out.

Not us. With Covenant Defence:

  • ✅ We monitor threats so you don’t have to

  • ✅ We investigate and respond — not just notify

  • ✅ We contain issues automatically

  • ✅ We send plain-English reports so you understand what happened

You don’t have to wonder if your system is secure — you’ll know.


🏢 Why It Matters for Small & Medium Businesses

Cybercrime is not just a big business problem.

In fact, 43% of attacks now target small businesses — because:

  • They lack advanced tools

  • They react too slowly

  • They don’t know they’re already compromised

⚠️ If your cybersecurity is reactive, you’re an easy target.

Active monitoring + threat hunting =

  • 🔄 Constant surveillance

  • 🕑 Rapid detection and response

  • 💡 Peace of mind

  • 💪 Business resilience


✅ Real Scenarios We’ve Handled

  • Compromised email sending phishing links?

    → We detect and lock it.

  • Ransomware encryption started?

    → We roll back your system — no files lost.

  • Suspicious traffic from a laptop?

    → We isolate it before it spreads.

These aren’t theories.

These are real issues we’ve solved for clients.
