What is Threat Hunting?
Threat Hunting is the proactive process of searching for hidden threats within an organization’s environment that have evaded existing Security Controls. It focuses on identifying Indicators of Attack (IOA) and suspicious behavior rather than relying solely on alerts.
Threat hunting is often guided by Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI) and frameworks such as MITRE ATT&CK.
What is Threat Hunting used for?
Threat hunting is used to detect advanced threats such as Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) activity, reduce dwell time, and improve detection capabilities.
Security teams use threat hunting alongside tools like SIEM and EDR to uncover hidden threats and strengthen Security Posture through continuous improvement.
