Explanation

Threat hunting involves a proactive approach to cybersecurity, where security professionals actively search for signs of potential threats, security breaches, or hidden adversaries within a network or system. It aims to identify and mitigate threats that may have gone undetected by traditional security measures or automated systems. Threat hunters use various tools, techniques, and methodologies to analyze network traffic, logs, behaviors, and other indicators of compromise to uncover potential threats or malicious activities that could be lurking within an organization's environment. This approach allows organizations to detect and respond to threats more effectively before they cause significant damage.
