At its core, threat hunting is the practice of proactively searching for signs of malicious activities or indicators of compromise (IOCs) before threat actors gain a deep foothold within your organization’s environment.
This involves observing both attacker behaviors (e.g., evidence of lateral movement, privilege escalation attempts, anomalous user activity) and indicators (e.g., presence of malware artifacts, unusual network traffic, command & control).
The primary objectives of an effective threat hunting program are three-fold:
Typically, this occurs by operationalizing threat intelligence to perform threat hunts, which then informs whether a novel detection should be built based on the data collected. Once a novel detection and runbook is created, the Elite Threat Hunters can move on to the next unknown threat to repeat the process.
Although threat hunting is a proactive measure, it goes hand-in-hand with traditional, reactive security measures (e.g., firewalls, antivirus software, and intrusion detection systems), which are essential for blocking known threats.
However, threat hunting also goes a step further by actively pursuing more sophisticated emerging threats that evade these initial defenses.
The result of building a strong threat hunting program is simple – it allows your organization to anticipate and withstand potential cyber threats before they cause significant damage. In doing so, it enables your team to build true resilience against sophisticated threats.
Developing a strong threat hunting program is an ongoing process that requires a deep understanding of your current capabilities and a clear vision for growth. To evaluate and enhance your in-house threat hunting ability, there are three key questions to consider:
Considering the rapid advancements in AI and automation, alongside adversaries' increasingly sophisticated strategies, such as "living off the land" tactics that allow them to infiltrate and move laterally within environments swiftly, it’s critical for your team to rapidly detect and respond to threats effectively.
In fact, it’s likely that the Mean Time to Detect (MTTD) will decrease over time as adversaries can cause operational damage or extract data more quickly than ever before. This underscores the critical importance of enhancing detection capabilities to meet these challenges head-on.
Therefore, it’s essential to engage your security team about their response capabilities by not only focusing on theoretical response times but also looking at real data from past incidents. Understanding how long it takes to classify an initial alert, move it to triage, and eventually to its resolution—whether it be identified as a false positive, true positive, or requiring no action—is crucial.
By analyzing these metrics, you can self-assess whether your response times are improving and tangibly evaluate your team's efficiency and effectiveness for threat hunting.
Evaluating your organization's in-house threat hunting capabilities to proactively disrupt and eliminate threats before they compromise sensitive data requires you to be realistic about the current state of your security program. Consider the following key elements:
Determining if your team can undertake a head-to-head combat against adversaries and defend your organization from a potential crippling cyberattack in real-time involves very specific skillsets and significant cybersecurity expertise. This also means that your security program should account for:
According to a thought leadership survey conducted by Forrester Consulting, 71% of security leaders surveyed stated that they’re prioritizing the operationalization of threat intelligence across their organization. Unfortunately, 67% are also experiencing more friction getting budgetary approval from their senior leadership team.
Although there is merit to building threat hunting capabilities in-house, it’s incredibly difficult to find room in the budget to hire, train, and retain specialized threat hunters who have the security expertise you need. Plus, you must consider the added expense of onboarding the tools and technologies you need to operationalize threat hunting in-house for 24/7 threat detection and response.
On the other hand, partnering with a trusted advisor who leverages a team of Elite Threat Hunters to make sure you stay ahead of sophisticated known and unknown threats can be significantly more cost-effective.
