Threat Hunting Methodologies
Hypothesis-Driven Hunting
Modern threat hunting relies on developing testable hypotheses about potential threats based on:
- Threat intelligence feeds and indicators
- Known attack patterns and TTPs (Tactics, Techniques, Procedures)
- Industry-specific threat landscape analysis
- Historical incident data and lessons learned
Intelligence-Driven Approaches
- Strategic Intelligence: Understanding adversary motivations and capabilities
- Tactical Intelligence: Specific indicators and attack methods
- Operational Intelligence: Current campaign activities and infrastructure
- Technical Intelligence: Malware analysis and tool identification
