If an attacker had a foothold in your network today, would you know it? If they made it past your real-time defenses or an analyst misinterpreted a critical alert, chances are they've entrenched themselves for the long haul. Skilled and organized attackers know long term persistence in your network is the most critical component to meeting their goals to steal information, cause damage, or pivot attacks on other organizations. Threat Hunting is the proactive act of finding attackers in your environment before they can cause damage (or at least stop the bleeding from continued exposure). Unfortunately, effective threat hunting practices remain out of reach of most organizations due to lack of security infrastructure and qualified people.
