Threat hunting • Incident response

Hunt the threat.
Own the response.

Wulver Cyber looks for signs of attackers already inside your network before they turn into an incident, and responds fast when one happens. It is built for small defense contractors and Utah businesses, with CMMC and NIST SP 800-171 readiness alongside.

Why hunt

Waiting for an alert is waiting too long.

Recent critical vulnerabilities have been exploited within hours or days of disclosure, and patch and response plans built around 30-day cycles no longer hold up. Looking for intruders on purpose, and having a response partner on call before the next disclosure, closes that gap.

  • Attackers move faster than patch cycles. By the time a fix ships, an exposed system may already have been probed or entered.
  • Incidents have a clock. For defense contractors, DFARS 252.204-7012 requires cyber incidents to be reported within 72 hours, with evidence preserved.
  • Response is part of risk management. NIST SP 800-61 Rev 3 treats incident response as part of everyday cybersecurity risk management, not a binder on a shelf.

Services

What Wulver Cyber does

Hunting and response come first. Exposure and compliance work support them, so what a hunt finds feeds straight into a plan you have already rehearsed.

Lead

Threat hunting

Proactive hunts for signs of attacker activity in your logs and on your endpoints, instead of waiting for an alert to fire.

  • Hunts across the log and endpoint data you already collect
  • Priorities set by your internet exposure and the CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog
  • Anything found moves straight into incident response
Lead

Incident response retainer

A response partner on call before the next disclosure, sized for small businesses and contractors.

  • IR plans and tabletop exercises
  • Containment and emergency patch / mitigation sprints
  • DFARS 7012 72-hour reporting support via DIBNet
  • Readiness or prepaid-hours retainer options
Lead

Triage forensics

Careful evidence handling when something goes wrong, so you know what happened and how to stop it happening again.

  • Evidence preservation for DFARS 7012 (images kept at least 90 days)
  • Chain of custody
  • Root-cause reports
Supporting

Exposure check

Find what attackers can see before they do, and point the hunts at it.

  • Asset inventory and internet-exposure review
  • Exposure monitoring keyed to the CISA KEV catalog
Supporting

CMMC & NIST SP 800-171 readiness

For defense suppliers, the documentation and self-assessments primes and contracting officers ask for.

  • NIST SP 800-171 Rev 2 gap assessments
  • SSP and POA&M writing
  • SPRS score and CMMC Level 1–2 self-assessment support
Supporting

Hardening & integration

Engineering help to close what the hunts and assessments turn up.

  • Identity and MFA, logging
  • Vulnerability management and patch-velocity programs
  • CUI enclave design; RMF / ATO support as a subcontractor

Approach

Prepare. Hunt. Respond. Harden.

A straightforward cycle built on NIST SP 800-61 Rev 3, DFARS 252.204-7012 and NIST SP 800-171.

  1. Prepare

    An IR plan and tabletop exercise, plus an inventory of what is exposed to the internet.

  2. Hunt

    Proactive hunts through your logs and endpoints, aimed at the exposures and vulnerabilities attackers are using now.

  3. Respond

    Containment, evidence preservation and, for defense work, 72-hour DFARS reporting support.

  4. Harden

    Fix root causes, then keep your SSP, POA&M and SPRS score in step with reality.

Engineer-led

Built on an electrical and computer engineering background and DoD and intelligence-community systems experience.

Works with your MSP

Independent hunting and incident response without asking you to replace the IT provider you already have.

Clear lines

Implementation and assessment are kept separate, with a documented separation log, so independence is never in question.

About the founder

Wulver Cyber was founded by James Murdock, an electrical and computer engineer with systems experience across the Department of Defense and the intelligence community. He is a service-disabled veteran.

He started Wulver Cyber to give small businesses and defense suppliers an engineer's approach to security: go looking for trouble before it finds you, and have a response plan that works under pressure.
