Threat Hunting: The Necessity of Proactive Cybersecurity
December 6, 2022
In today’s digital world, businesses of all sizes are under constant threat from cyber attacks. From fishing, phishing, vishing to ransomware and malware, attackers are using increasingly sophisticated tactics to breach networks and steal sensitive and ransom data.
To defend against these threats, businesses must adopt a hyper-proactive approach to cybersecurity. This means going beyond traditional security measures such as firewalls, antivirus software, EDRs and run of the mill MDR one off solutions, and actively searching for signs of potential attacks in your networks and systems. This is known as threat hunting.
Why Threat Hunting is Necessary
Threat hunting is an essential part of any cybersecurity strategy for several reasons. First, it allows businesses to stay one step ahead of the attackers. By proactively searching for threats, businesses can identify potential attacks before they happen and take action to prevent or mitigate them.
Second, threat hunting can help businesses respond more quickly to potential cyber attacks. Traditional security measures often rely on known signatures or patterns to identify threats, which means they can only detect attacks that they have seen before. Threat hunting, on the other hand, looks for anomalies and unusual patterns in security telemetry and other data, which allows it to identify potential threats that may not have been seen before.
Third, threat hunting can help businesses identify and fix vulnerabilities in their networks and systems. By analyzing security telemetry and other data, threat hunters can identify areas of weakness or areas where attackers may have gained access. This allows businesses to take corrective action and improve their overall security posture.
Ransomware Mitigation
Ransomware is a particularly pernicious threat that can have devastating consequences for businesses. Attackers use ransomware to encrypt a business’s data and demand a ransom payment in exchange for the decryption key. If the business does not pay the ransom, the attackers may destroy the data or release it publicly, causing significant damage and financial loss.
