The Art Of Threat Hunting
Threat hunting is a proactive cybersecurity practice where security analysts use experience and ingenuity to search for, identify, and eradicate advanced threats that evade existing security measures. In many organizations it represents the best opportunity to uncover the most sophisticated threat actors. Threat hunters are detectives, methodically searching for clues using a combination of tools, telemetry, threat intelligence, and knowledge of adversaries’ tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs). To many, threat hunting may seem like a dark art, to be practiced only by the most skilled security practitioners. The reality is much less intimidating: successful threat hunting requires just a few tools, a little know-how, and the willingness to roll up your sleeves.
