Definition
Threat Detection is the process of identifying signs that may indicate a threat or an attack in progress.
Human Explanation
It answers the question: does anything indicate a threat?
Why it Matters
Early detection enables faster analysis and limits the potential impact of an attack.
Conceptual Boundary
Threat Detection identifies relevant signs but does not include the complete Incident Response process.
Practical Perspective
Effective detection combines telemetry, rules, behavioural analysis and informed review of alerts.
