Executive Briefing Series: Cyber Threat Hunting

Threat hunting is emerging as a powerful tool for agency security managers. Think of it as using cybersecurity data analysis to identify threats before they become problematic. Threat hunting calls for gathering telemetric levels of data coming from end points and other network traffic and combining it with data from other relevant sources. Then, having a strategy for storing the data, and analysis tools to reveal malicious activity while the danger is still potential. The result: More time to react.
