The ABCs of Threat Hunting
Start by being proactive in familiarizing your team with your environment:
- Gain perspective by combining your knowledge with threat landscape information
- Standardize your enterprise to detect suspicious activity earlier.
- Understand the difference between commodity and human-operated malware attacks
- Learn the ABCs of threat hunting, which are authentication, backdoors, and communication
Apply these to common threat scenarios such as
- Cloud data theft
- Device compromise
- Office 365 mailbox compromise
- Human-operated ransomware attacks.
Building your own threat-hunting program requires the right:
- People
- Technology
- Training
So, choose enthusiastic collaborators and adopt a "shift left" mindset. Be prepared for evolving attacks and extend your digital perimeter using XDR and Zero Trust principles.
