Does your organization conduct regular threat hunting activities to proactively identify potential threat actors in your environment?

Threat hunting involves proactively searching through networks, endpoints, and datasets to detect malicious activities or indicators of compromise that may have evaded existing security solutions.

This practice helps identify advanced persistent threats, insider threats, or zero-day exploits that automated tools might miss. Effective threat hunting combines automated tools with human analysis to investigate anomalies, unusual patterns, or suspicious behaviors.

Evidence of threat hunting could include documented threat hunting procedures, reports from previous threat hunting exercises showing methodology and findings, logs of hunting activities, or dashboards from threat hunting platforms. These documents should demonstrate a systematic approach to searching for threats rather than just responding to alerts.
