How does threat hunting integrate with incident response?

Threat hunting complements incident response efforts by proactively searching for threats within an organization’s systems and networks. It involves actively seeking out indicators of compromise and anomalous activities that may not be detected by automated security tools. By conducting threat hunting, organizations can identify potential threats early on, before they escalate into full-blown incidents. This proactive approach allows for the timely containment and mitigation of threats, thus reducing the overall impact on the organization. Additionally, threat hunting provides valuable insights into the organization’s security posture, helping to improve detection capabilities and strengthen overall security defenses.
