Security News > 2023 > May > Is human threat hunting a fool’s errand?

As the rate of cyberattacks steadily increases, automated threat hunting processes are being integrated to help stem the tide by providing quicker security insights, more efficient operations, and human error reductions.

Threat hunters need to know their organization's weaknesses, but unfortunately, a lot of companies are starting to realize that truly qualified threat hunters are rare.

Most current threat hunting processes are initiated by system-generated alerts that call for some sort of human action.

Humans are effectively slowing the threat hunting process down.

We must safely get to a place where anything completely out of bounds is automatically detected and killed, giving actual threat hunters the bandwidth to do the in-depth cybersecurity tasks that require a human in the loop.

Automating the low-hanging fruit of your threat hunting processes will better equip your company to keep up with the ever-evolving attack landscape and empower your threat hunters to use their resources more efficiently.
