Book Description:
Threat hunting (TH) provides cybersecurity analysts and enterprises with
the opportunity to proactively defend themselves by getting ahead of
threats before they can cause major damage to their business.
This book is not only an introduction for those who don't know much
about the cyber threat intelligence (CTI) and TH world, but also a guide
for those with more advanced knowledge of other cybersecurity fields who
are looking to implement a TH program from scratch.
You will start by exploring what threat intelligence is and how it can
be used to detect and prevent cyber threats. As you progress, you'll
learn how to collect data, along with understanding it by developing
data models. The book will also show you how to set up an environment
for TH using open source tools. Later, you will focus on how to plan a
hunt with practical examples, before going on to explore the MITRE
ATT&CK framework.
By the end of this book, you'll have the skills you need to be able to
carry out effective hunts in your own environment.

-
Understand what CTI is, its key concepts, and how it is useful for
preventing threats and protecting your organization
-
Explore the different stages of the TH process
