How does a security operations center (SOC) manage threat hunting activities?

A Security Operations Center (SOC) performs threat hunting to proactively identify hidden threats by continuously monitoring network and endpoint activities for suspicious behavior, anomalies, or indicators of compromise. SOC analysts use various techniques such as log analysis, correlation of security events, threat intelligence gathering, and behavioral analytics to detect threats that may evade traditional security measures. Threat hunting involves actively searching for signs of malicious activity within the organization’s network to identify and mitigate potential threats before they cause damage.
