Threat hunting is in flux. What started as a largely reactive skill became proactive and is progressing toward automation. Threat hunting is the practice of finding threats within the system. It sits between external attack surface management (EASM), and the security operations center (SOC). EASM seeks to thwart attacks by protecting the interface between the network and the internet. If it fails, and an attacker gets into the system, threat hunting seeks to find and monitor the traces left by the adversary so the attack can be neutralized before damage can be done. SOC engineers take new threat hunter data and build new detection rules for the SIEM.

Make no mistake, as a security professional, I love this month. Launched by CISA and the National Cybersecurity Alliance back in 2004, it's designed to make security a shared responsibility. It helps regular citizens, businesses, and public agencies build safer digital habits. And it works. It draws attention to risk in its many forms, sparks conversations that otherwise might not happen, and helps employees recognize their personal stake in and influence over the organization's security.
