Understanding Threat Hunting And Security Research

Threat researchers use threat hunting to learn about trends, and correlations, to narrow focus of the research. And they use this information to watch for other threats and also to help bring awareness in organizations.Threat research needs creative and out-of-the-box thinking. By following a checklist, threat researchers often do not get, often do not find out novel or unique attacks. So it doesn't help. It doesn't aid in threat hunting process.GenAI platforms are a boon for researchers. They can quickly get started, learn about new attack vectors. At the same time, guardrails should be put in place to ensure that data is not leaked or employees should be trained to learn about new GenAI-based or inspired attacks.

In this episode of the ScaletoZero Podcast, we had an insightful discussion with Josh Pyorre about threat-hunting approaches in today’s digital world

Josh shared his expertise on balancing security complexities and creativity while discussing ways to reduce cyber risks for individuals and organizations.
