🚨 Threat Hunting: The Silent Game-Changer in Cybersecurity In today’s digital battlefield, cyberattacks aren’t always noisy. Some attackers move quietly, hidden in logs, endpoints, or network traffic waiting for the perfect moment to strike. That’s exactly where Threat Hunting comes in. 🕵️♂️ It’s not just responding to alerts, it’s actively looking for threats before they look for you. 💡 Why it matters: ✅ Finds stealthy threats traditional tools miss ✅ Boosts SOC visibility & confidence ✅ Cuts down response time when seconds matter ✅ Builds a proactive, resilient defense posture Think of it like this: Instead of waiting for a burglar alarm, you’re already outside, spotting the thief before they even touch the lock. 🔐 🔎 Question for the community: Are you or your team already practicing Threat Hunting? If yes, what’s your biggest win so far? If not, what’s holding you back? Let’s share experiences, because the best hunters learn from each other. 💭 #ThreatHunting #CyberSecurity #SOC #BlueTeam #Infosec #CyberDefense #Threat #Bug #Bugcrowd #BugHunting
