Objective
The definition is not fully agreed upon, however is described in a similar fashion by multiple sources.[1][2][3][4][5]
- "Threat hunting is a proactive and iterative approach to detecting threats." (Lee and Bianco, 2016)
The objective of Threat Hunting[6] is a proactive search of systems for adversaries and compromise. Whereas Continuous Monitoring is a reactive service, Threat Hunting strives to actively search logs, controls, countermeasures and activity to identify signs of compromise before they are detected.
Hunting activity is related to other services as it feeds into Content Engineering, Continuous Monitoring, Log Management and Compliance and Risk Management.
Hunting also receives inputs from Threat Intelligence, Enterprise Intelligence, Content Engineering and Risk Management.
