What You Will Discover:
✔️ Threat hunting should be proactive and iterative. Combine external and internal intelligence to decide what might be happening and act on it. Find out the likelihood of scenarios occurring again.
✔️ Prevent, detect, and hunt. Build your systems with preventative controls. Evaluate when threat hunting is appropriate for you. Know different strategies to start. This can include strengthening visibility and spotting deviations in your network.
✔️ Work with your countermeasure team. Share information across your organization. Create security recommendations for asset owners. Remove potentially unwanted programs that could cause problems.
✔️ Threat hunting is more than just detecting threats. How can we find targets sooner? What can we do to improve our detection time? How did the threat occur, and how can we block it in the future?
