Why Prepare
The benefits of proactive threat hunting
Like wilderness survival experts, threat hunters succeed because of impressive skills, an eagerness to learn and adapt, and vigilance to potential threats. Adversaries are getting more adept at sneaking into networks and lurking there without detection for weeks or even months as they gather information and escalate privileges.
Human-operated attacks can seem as daunting as crossing an ice bridge over a 100-foot crevasse on a snow-covered mountain.
However, successful threat hunters thrive rather than merely survive due to proactive preparation.
