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

April 18, 20254 min read

Most businesses assume 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. Cyberattacks often begin quietly — a suspicious login attempt, a hidden piece of malware, a phishing email that leads to a backdoor. The only way to stop them is to actively monitor your systems 24/7 and hunt for signs of compromise before damage is done.

At Covenant Defence, we go beyond simple “set and forget” antivirus. Our Active Monitoring and Threat Hunting services are like having a full-time cyber bodyguard — watching, analysing and responding in real time to protect your data, people and systems.


👀 What Is Active Monitoring?

Active Monitoring is the continuous observation of your devices, network traffic, user behaviour and system integrity. It helps detect:

  • Suspicious login attempts (especially from overseas)

  • Malware or ransomware signatures

  • Devices communicating with known malicious servers

  • Unusual activity from employee accounts

  • Exploits of outdated software or operating systems

The goal? Catch threats early — before they escalate into business interruptions or breaches.


🕵️‍♂️ What Is Threat Hunting?

Threat Hunting is the proactive process of searching for threats that may have bypassed traditional security layers. It’s about thinking like an attacker, looking for patterns and identifying stealthy compromises that other systems miss.

Our tools don’t just react — they investigate.

At Covenant Defence, we use SentinelOne, an industry-leading platform that uses:


🧠 Real Intelligence, Not Just Alerts

With many security providers, you’re bombarded with alerts — but no one explains what they mean or what to do.

With Covenant Defence:

You’re not left wondering if your business has strong security — you’ll know it is.


🛡️ Why This Matters for Small to Medium Businesses

Here’s the reality: attackers don’t just target big corporations. In fact, 43% of cyberattacks now target small businesses — because they often lack advanced protection or don’t realise they’ve already been compromised.

If your cybersecurity is reactive or manual, you’re a soft target.

Active monitoring and threat hunting provide:

  • Constant surveillance of your digital environment

  • Early detection and response to emerging threats

  • Peace of mind knowing someone is watching your back

And most importantly — it gives your business resilience in a digital world that’s always changing.


✅ Real-World Scenarios We Handle for Clients

These aren’t hypotheticals — they’re the kind of threats our system identifies and responds to.


🔄 How It Works with Covenant Defence

  1. Install our managed security platform (SentinelOne) on your devices

  2. Our team configures policies and behavioural analytics

👥 Who Is This For?


🧩 This Isn’t “Extra” — It’s Essential
