Threat Detection Services for UK Businesses
Find attackers that slip past your preventive defences. We build and maintain detections that spot ransomware, credential abuse, data theft and hidden intrusions across your whole environment.
Our detection engineers map coverage to MITRE ATT&CK, use fresh threat intelligence and test every detection, so you know it works before you need it.

About Threat Detection
Why structured, proactive security testing is essential for your organization
Definition & Approach
Threat detection is the practice of finding malicious activity in your environment as early as possible. We combine rules, behavioural analytics, threat intelligence and human-led hunting, then test each detection against realistic attack techniques.
- Detection engineering mapped to MITRE ATT&CK
- Behavioural analytics and threat intelligence
- Regular testing and tuning of every detection
Business Urgency
Modern attackers use stolen credentials and built-in tools that look like normal activity. Signature-based defences miss them. Without tailored detection, an intruder can stay hidden long enough to steal data or deploy ransomware.
Holistic Protection Across Every Attack Surface
Our testing methodologies evaluate entry points, authentication mechanisms, network boundaries, and business logic.
What our threat detection covers
Coverage across endpoints, identity, network and cloud, built around how real attackers work.
Detection Engineering
Design, write and maintain detection rules that match the threats facing your business.
Endpoint & Identity Threat Detection
Spot malware, credential theft and suspicious account activity on devices and identity platforms.
Network & Cloud Threat Detection
Detect command and control traffic, lateral movement and unusual cloud activity.
Threat Intelligence Integration
Use current intelligence on attacker groups, tools and indicators to keep detections fresh.
Proactive Threat Hunting
Search your data for hidden threats using hypotheses based on real attacker behaviour.
Detection Validation & Coverage Reporting
Test detections against simulated attack techniques and report on coverage and gaps.
Why you need threat detection
Default rules vs Goognu threat detection
| Capability / Feature | Default Tool Rules | Goognu Threat Detection |
|---|---|---|
| Fit to your environment | ✕ Generic | Tailored to your systems and risks |
| Coverage of attacker techniques | ✕ Unknown gaps | Mapped and reported against MITRE ATT&CK |
| Hidden and low-and-slow threats | ✕ Often missed | Found through hunting and analytics |
| Proof that detections work | ✕ No | Tested against simulated attacks |
