Definition
Threat Hunting is the deliberate process of searching an organisation's environment for signs of Threats even when standard monitoring mechanisms have not detected them.
Human Explanation
Instead of waiting for an alert, analysts actively search for traces that may indicate an attacker's presence.
Why it Matters
It can reveal advanced Threats that remain invisible to traditional detection mechanisms.
Conceptual Boundary
Threat Hunting does not replace Security Monitoring or SIEM. It is a complementary analytical process.
Practical Perspective
Threat Hunting is most effective when analyst expertise is combined with information from multiple sources.
