Threat Hunting
A proactive security practice in which analysts actively search through networks and systems for signs of hidden threats that automated detection tools have missed, rather than waiting for an alert. It typically starts from a hypothesis, informed by threat intelligence or unusual telemetry, rather than a known indicator of compromise.
