The act of actively searching for hidden cyber threats in a computer network is known as “cyber threat hunting.”
The purpose of cyber threat hunting is to enable an organization to identify and address possible risks that it is unaware of and has not discovered through other channels.
Threat hunters search for cyberthreats in every part of the security environment using enriched data.Software, particularly massive data processing, and human expertise are used in cyber threat hunting.
Planning, data collection, analysis, investigation, and response are all part of the cyber threat hunting process. According to experts, standard security information and event management (SIEM) and endpoint detection and response (EDR) techniques are supplemented with a human intelligence layer through threat hunting.
Threat hunting is essential for spotting hidden threats and helps businesses react quickly and efficiently.Proactive threat hunting can help prevent ransomware encryptions, data breaches, and exfiltration by identifying threats before the attack is launched.
