Summary:Today, organizations are faced with the overwhelming challenge of protecting their enterprise against threat actors that are well resourced and constantly evolving. While most clients have a traditional Security Operations Center (SOC) to identify vulnerabilities and catch harmful activity on their networks, historical evidence proves that perimeter defense alone is not enough. To combat these evolving threats, traditional approaches to Cyber defense must evolve, and enterprises must go on the offensive. One emerging approach is Advanced Threat Hunting. An approach that pairs best-in-class Cyber Defense tools with trained threat analysts who have a deep understanding of their operating environment and an ability to ask the right questions. Advanced Threat Hunting, in conjunction with the client’s current security posture, offers a proactive, defense in-depth solution focused on finding malicious actors.
