It is more competent than other threat detection techniques as it finds evasive skeptical attackers who have managed to break into the system without any traces.<\/p>\n<p>Cyber threats come in various forms, like viruses, Denial of Services (DoS) attacks, data breaches, etc. Threat hunters comb through the company&#8217;s network and security data using TTP investigation and a hypothesis-driven approach to locate suspicious or malicious malware or attackers by correlating patterns.<\/p>\n<p>Cyber threat hunting has evolved with time. Traditional threat hunting is a manual process where a security analyst examines and inspects data using their skills and knowledge of the network and systems. The manual process has become more effective and efficient with automation, User and Entity Behavior Analytics (UBEA), and machine learning to caution the security team about possible risks.<\/p>\n<p>For more details, read: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sattrix.com\/blog\/6-tips-to-combat-cybersecurity-threats\/\">6 Tips to Combat Cybersecurity Threats<\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Types_of_Threat_Hunting\"><\/span><strong>Types of Threat Hunting<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li aria-level=\"3\">\n<h3 style=\"font-size: 20px;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Structured_Hunting\"><\/span><b><span data-contrast=\"none\"> Structured Hunting<\/span><\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">It depends on the IoA (Indicators of Attack) and the cyber attacker&#8217;s TTP (Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures). Threat hunters coordinate the attacks contingent on the TTP found on the network. Thus, they can detect the threat in the early stages before the cyber criminals&#8217; attack. Structured hunting uses <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newevol.io\/product\/cyber-threat-intelligence.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">threat intelligence<\/a> sources like MITRE ATT&amp;CK to get detailed information on various TTP.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li aria-level=\"3\">\n<h3 style=\"font-size: 20px;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Unstructured_Hunting\"><\/span><b><span data-contrast=\"none\"> Unstructured Hunting<\/span><\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The second form of threat hunting begins with IoC (Indicator of Compromise) or a trigger. Threat hunters search for suspicious behavior patterns before and after the IoC or trigger in the network. Historical datasets come in handy in these investigations. Hunters can analyze the earlier attacks similar to the recent ones and discover new types of threats.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ol start=\"3\">\n<li aria-level=\"3\">\n<h3 style=\"font-size: 20px;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Situational_or_Entity-driven\"><\/span><b><span data-contrast=\"none\"> Situational or Entity-driven<\/span><\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Sensitive data and critical computing resources are always at high risk. Situational or entity-driven threat hunting prioritizes and focuses on the high-value entities of a business. It aids in improving threat hunting activities to counterattack cyber threats. Situational hunting identifies the high-priority targets like domain controllers, IT administrators, etc., and helps search for such threats.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Benefits_of_Threat_Hunting\"><\/span><strong>Benefits of Threat Hunting<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Cyber threat hunting is becoming everyone&#8217;s favorite security program in several enterprises.

For instance,<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"3\">\n<h3 style=\"font-size: 20px;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Expose_the_suspicious_bypasses\"><\/span><b><span data-contrast=\"none\"> Expose the suspicious bypasses<\/span><\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Threat hunting helps detect malware or suspicious attacks that may have entered your company&#8217;s network. Threat intelligence enables the security team to anticipate and identify specific threats. It provides incident responders and analysts with actionable intelligence, i.e., analyzed, contextualized, accurate, reliable, timely, precise, and predictive data.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"3\">\n<h3 style=\"font-size: 20px;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Gives_an_accurate_insight_into_the_companys_security\"><\/span><b><span data-contrast=\"none\"> Gives an accurate insight into the company&#8217;s security\u00a0<\/span><\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Threat hunting assists in preventing potential attacks or external threats by detecting them in the early stages. Additionally, it is an ideal method to analyze your firm&#8217;s security. When IT analysts search for any lingering threat or ATPs (Advanced Persistent Attacks), they get a better picture of the current security state of the organization.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"3\">\n<h3 style=\"font-size: 20px;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Enhances_the_speed_of_threat_response\"><\/span><b><span data-contrast=\"none\"> Enhances the speed of threat response<\/span><\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Managing threats timely in a composed manner is not easy. Threat hunting is more of a human process. You can identify abnormal activities in the network that an automated detection method might miss. Locating the threats earlier gives you enough time to take adequate action against them.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h3 style=\"font-size: 20px;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Reduces_investigation_time\"><\/span><b style=\"font-size: 20px;\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">Reduces investigation time<\/span><\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Threat hunters utilize historical data to get detailed information about a specific threat or attack.

It requires skilled and adept IT professionals to search, monitor, analyze, log, and neutralize potential attacks or threats before they harm your firm. You can follow the typical four-step process to undertake a successful cyber threat hunting program.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"3\">\n<h3 style=\"font-size: 20px;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Developing_a_hypothesis\"><\/span><b><span data-contrast=\"none\"> Developing a hypothesis<\/span><\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The first and foremost step in cyber threat hunting is to draft a threat hypothesis. You can include risk or vulnerability within the firm&#8217;s network, attacker&#8217;s TTP (Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures), or current threat intelligence. Hypothesis investigation is triggered when a new threat is detected in the organization&#8217;s network through the massive heap of crowdsourced attack data. A threat hunter utilizes his knowledge, experience, and problem-solving skills to create a hypothesis.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"3\">\n<h3 style=\"font-size: 20px;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Starting_the_investigation\"><\/span><b><span data-contrast=\"none\"> Starting the investigation<\/span><\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The second step leverages the tactical threat intelligence to well-known catalogs.

The investigation continues until the hypothesis is valid and confirmed and any activity is detected.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"3\">\n<h3 style=\"font-size: 20px;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Finding_new_patterns\"><\/span><b><span data-contrast=\"none\"> Finding new patterns<\/span><\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Threat hunters deploy prompt responses once they find the anomaly or malicious action. They use several measures like blocking IP addresses, altering network configurations, implementing security patches, disabling users, implementing novel identification processes, updating authorization privileges, etc. When the security team endeavors to resolve these threats, they familiarise themselves with hackers&#8217; tactics, techniques, and procedures. It enables them to mitigate against similar attacks in the future.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"3\">\n<h3 style=\"font-size: 20px;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Responding_enrichment_and_automation\"><\/span><b><span data-contrast=\"none\"> Responding, enrichment, and automation<\/span><\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">You may prevent or avert a threat whenever it terrorizes your business, but you can never entirely stop the cybercriminals.
