Many organisations are breached without knowing it. A HackLabs compromise assessment hunts for hidden attacker presence across your environment — finding evidence of past or ongoing intrusions before they escalate.
Talk to an ExpertThe average attacker dwell time in Australian organisations is measured in weeks — sometimes months. During this time, threat actors establish persistence, harvest credentials, map the environment, and exfiltrate data. A compromise assessment is a proactive hunt through your environment using threat intelligence, forensic artefacts, and advanced analysis to uncover this hidden activity.
Analysis of endpoint artefacts including prefetch files, event logs, registry hives, browser history, and file system metadata to identify attacker activity and persistence.
Review of AD for signs of privilege escalation, golden ticket attacks, DCSync activity, rogue accounts, and modified security settings commonly abused by threat actors.
Analysis of network flows, DNS logs, proxy logs, and firewall data to identify C2 communication, data exfiltration channels, and lateral movement paths.
Deep analysis of security event logs, authentication logs, and application logs across your environment correlated against known threat actor TTPs using MITRE ATT&CK.
Static and dynamic analysis of suspected malicious files to identify malware families, C2 infrastructure, capabilities, and indicators for broader hunting.
Assessment of cloud service audit logs (AWS CloudTrail, Azure Activity Log, M365 Unified Audit Log) for signs of account compromise, privilege abuse, and data access.
Define assessment scope, identify critical systems, and collect forensic artefacts including endpoint images, log exports, and network captures.
Hunt for indicators of compromise using threat intelligence, hypothesis-driven analysis, and automated correlation across collected artefacts.
Investigate positive findings to confirm compromise, reconstruct attack timelines, and identify the full scope of attacker activity.
Deliver findings with confirmed IOCs, MITRE ATT&CK mapping, and a prioritised remediation plan to eradicate any identified threats.
