Threat hunting with Olly

Threat hunting is a proactive cybersecurity practice focused on identifying malicious activities that may not trigger alerts, shifting security teams from a reactive to an active stance. Traditional security operations often rely on known attack patterns, which may miss novel threats and generate high alert volumes with limited context. Olly, an AI-powered tool within Coralogix, enhances threat hunting by providing rapid insights and context through natural language processing, allowing analysts to ask questions rather than craft complex queries. It facilitates cross-dataset investigations, enabling analysts to correlate data across sources like CloudTrail and network logs, and supports anomaly detection by highlighting unusual patterns. Olly streamlines the threat hunting process by forming hypotheses, exploring data, and refining investigations dynamically. Through examples like AWS IAM policy escalation and Okta MFA anomalies, Olly demonstrates its ability to connect identity activities with cloud-level impacts, offering a comprehensive view of potential threats. This iterative and intuitive approach helps security teams stay ahead of attackers by building complete attack narratives and enabling effective detection and prevention strategies.
