Use the Internet to locate four different threat-hunting hypotheses. Next, determine the tools and techniques that you would use in order to determine if these hypotheses are valid. Finally, address the actions that you would take if each of the hypotheses were determined to be valid. Create a table of your findings. All assignments must be submitted in APA-7 format.
The foundation of effective threat hunting is the hypothesis: an educated, testable assumption that a threat actor has successfully bypassed automated defenses and is operating within the environment. The process of testing these hypotheses uses a combination of data, tools, and human expertise to proactively find hidden threats.
The following table presents four distinct threat hunting hypotheses, the tools and techniques required to test them, and the immediate actions necessary if the hypothesis is validated.
