As attacks continue to evolve in methods and sophistication, security teams need to prioritize threat detection so they can identify suspicious activity before a breach can occur.

Major blind spots exist unless threat detection visibility extends to the network and cloud as well.

This article will look at three major detection methods - signature, behavioral, and machine learning - and why all are critical for enterprise cybersecurity.

Signature-based detection methods consist of looking for indicators - hashes, names of files, registry of key names, or strings that show up in a file - of malicious activity.

Signature-based detection methods are great for identifying known attacks, but they cannot help you if your attacker is using new techniques or slight modifications to old ones.

Behavior-based detection methods are an excellent way to identify abnormal behavior that could indicate malicious attacks on endpoints, devices, etc.
