Threat Hunting

Threat hunting is a proactive cybersecurity technique used to identify and prevent advanced threats that traditional security measures may miss. It involves actively searching for threats that have evaded detection by automated security systems or have not yet been discovered. Threat hunting typically involves skilled security analysts who use a combination of human intuition and advanced technologies to identify, investigate, and remediate security threats.

The process of threat hunting involves various steps, including developing hypotheses about potential threats, collecting and analyzing data from various sources, identifying anomalous behaviors, and investigating suspicious activities. Threat hunters also use various tools and techniques, such as data analytics, machine learning, and behavioral analysis, to uncover hidden threats. The goal of threat hunting is to identify and prevent advanced attacks before they cause harm to an organization’s critical assets, reputation, and business operations. By actively searching for and neutralizing threats, threat hunting helps organizations stay ahead of cyber attackers and better protect their digital assets.
