SANS 2024 Threat Hunting Report

The cyber threat landscape has evolved significantly, blurring the lines between tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) used by cybercrime and nation-state-sponsored attacks. In this webinar, SANS certified instructors Mat Fuchs and Josh Lemon detail the results of their 2024 Threat Hunting Survey. They reveal how organizations are changing their proactive hunting activities and their use of hunting for unusual patterns, behaviors, and artifacts within network traffic and endpoints to catch threat actors who continually try to sidestep detections.

Key Insights:

•  Business email compromise (BEC) threat actors are currently the most common threat actors caught by threat hunting
• Concerns about the quality and quantity of cybersecurity data are increasing
• More organizations are outsourcing their threat hunting
• Where investment dollars are being allocated
