What is Threat Hunting?
What does 'Threat Hunting' mean?
Threat Hunting in Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) software refers to the proactive process of continuously searching for hidden threats, vulnerabilities, or suspicious activities within an organization’s network and endpoints. This feature enables security teams to detect advanced threats that may evade automated detection systems by analyzing behavioral patterns, system anomalies, and threat intelligence data. Threat hunting helps uncover stealthy attacks, such as zero-day exploits or persistent malware, before they cause significant damage. By identifying potential risks early, this feature strengthens incident response capabilities, enhances overall security posture, and empowers organizations to stay ahead of evolving cyber threats through informed investigation and action.
