Report
reveals
how threat
hunters
and SOCs
are fighting
back
McAfee, a cybersecurity
company which operates in the
Middle East, has announced
the release of Disrupting the
Disruptors, Art or Science?, a
new report investigating the
role of cyberthreat hunting and
the evolution of the security
operations centre (SOC).
L
ooking at security teams through four levels of
development: minimal, procedural, innovative and
leading, the Disrupting the Disruptors, Art or Science?
report finds that advanced SOCs devote 50% more time than
their counterparts on actual threat hunting.
The Threat Hunter
Threat hunting is becoming a critical role in defeating bad actors.
A threat hunter is a professional member of the security team
tasked with examining cyberthreats using clues, hypotheses
and experience from years of researching cybercriminals, and is
incredibly valuable to the investigation process.
