Continuous Threat Hunting: Expanding beyond alerts to detect modern threats with rigorous, repeatable threat hunting.

Alerts serve as the backbone of most SOCs, but alerts alone cannot detect modern, advanced threats without being so noisy that they quickly induce analyst fatigue. Threat hunting has arisen as a complement to alerting, but most SOCs do not operationalize threat hunting with the same rigor as alerting. In this session, we will discuss how SOC teams can overcome this through a model we call Continuous Threat Hunting: using analytic-driven methods to cover more data, but with a standardized approach designed to produce repeatability, effectiveness, and confidence in result.
