You’re looking in the wrong place: The case for application-layer hunting

Cybersecurity strategies have traditionally focused heavily on network and endpoint visibility, but attackers are increasingly exploiting gaps in business logic, processes and procedures. As organisations evolve, so too must their approach to defence, shifting towards a more holistic model that reflects how modern environments truly operate.

In this webinar, Ansie Williamson (Head of Security Operations Centre for Redshift, an Integrity360 company) joins Rich Ford, CTO to explore how fraud detection and defence strategies can be strengthened using application-based threat hunting.

This session will examine how organisations can identify gaps not just at the network layer, but across applications, user behaviour and business processes. With a growing focus on application-level threat hunting, attendees will gain insight into how deviations from expected user journeys can be an advanced signal of fraud or compromise, and why this layer remains underutilised in many security programmes.

Join us to discover how to move beyond traditional detection methods and build a more complete, context-aware defence strategy that aligns cyber security with real-world business activity.

What you will learn:

• Why application-based threat hunting is critical in modern fraud landscapes

• Exploiting weaknesses in AI and adversary playbooks

• How threat hunting teams can identify abnormal user behaviour and deviations from expected business processes

• Practical approaches to integrate business workflows into existing threat hunting streams

• How to align cyber defence strategies with real-world operational risk and user activity

• Why traditional network-focused detection leaves critical blind spots
