Threat Hunting

Threat Hunting is a proactive and iterative approach to cybersecurity in which security analysts actively search for signs of malicious activity within an organization's network and systems — before any automated alert is triggered. Unlike reactive security operations that wait for alerts, threat hunting starts with a hypothesis based on threat intelligence or known adversary behaviors and then seeks evidence to confirm or deny that hypothesis. Effective threat hunting requires deep knowledge of the environment, adversary TTPs, and forensic investigation skills. Threat hunting programs mature over time as hunters document their methodologies and convert successful hunts into automated detections.
