What is Threat Hunting?
Threat hunting is the proactive process of searching through networks, endpoints, and systems to detect malicious activities that evade automated security tools. It complements traditional detection methods.
Steps in Threat Hunting:
- Form hypotheses based on threat intelligence and observed anomalies.
- Analyze logs, network traffic, and endpoint data to find indicators of compromise (IOCs).
- Investigate suspicious activity and remediate any detected threats.
- Document findings to improve future detection strategies.
Threat hunting helps organizations stay ahead of attackers by identifying threats before they cause major damage.
