How does threat hunting integrate with incident response?

Threat hunting complements incident response efforts by proactively searching for indicators of compromise within an organization’s network and detecting threats that may go unnoticed by traditional security measures. This proactive approach helps in identifying and mitigating potential threats before they can cause a significant impact. By continuously analyzing and investigating the network for anomalies and suspicious activities, threat hunters can provide early warning of potential security incidents and help improve the overall security posture of an organization. Additionally, threat hunting can uncover hidden threats that may evade automated detection systems, thereby enabling incident response teams to respond swiftly and effectively to mitigate risks.
