The focus is on identifying indicators of compromise (IoCs), attacker tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs), as well as advanced persistent threats (APTs).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Key threat hunting activities include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Detecting insider and external threats \u2013 Hunters investigate potential risks from both malicious insiders (such as employees) and external attackers (such as cybercriminal groups).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tracking known adversaries \u2013 Using threat intelligence feeds and denylists of malicious code, hunters actively search for activity linked to previously identified attackers.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Uncovering hidden threats before attacks occur \u2013 By continuously monitoring systems and applying behavioral analysis, hunters identify anomalies that may indicate emerging threats.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Executing incident response \u2013 Once a threat is detected, hunters gather as much evidence as possible and initiate the incident response process to contain and neutralize it. The insights gained are then used to refine and strengthen the overall response strategy<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Three Phases of Threat Hunting<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Trigger Phase<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Threat hunting begins with a trigger\u2014an event or hypothesis that sparks investigation. Triggers may include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A newly disclosed vulnerability or patch<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Information about a zero-day exploit<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Anomalies in security logs<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Requests from internal security or IT teams<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>At this stage, hunters gather data and create hypotheses, e.g., <em>\u201cIs our environment vulnerable to this new exploit?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Investigation Phase<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Once a trigger is identified, hunters proactively search data to confirm or disprove the hypothesis. Key activities include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Reviewing system logs and security events<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Searching for anomalies or malicious patterns<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Assuming compromise (\u201cWe are already breached\u201d) and working backward<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Hunters often use SIEM solutions, endpoint detection, and advanced analytics tools to analyze suspicious activity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Resolution Phase<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Hunters document findings and answer key questions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Who? (Compromised accounts or credentials)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>What? (Sequence of malicious events)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>When? (Timestamps of suspicious activity)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Where? (Scope and systems affected)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Why? (Root causes like misconfigurations, insider threats, or external actors)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Findings are then escalated to SOC or incident response teams for containment, remediation, and strengthening defenses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Types of Threat Hunting<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Structured Threat Hunting<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Based on predefined intelligence or IoCs<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Starts with hypotheses like: a) Are we exposed to X vulnerability? b) Do we have evidence of malware strain Y?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Uses automation, queries, and manual analysis<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Unstructured (Exploratory) Threat Hunting<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Open-ended and hypothesis-free<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Relies on analyst expertise, intuition, and focus on high-risk assets (e.g., financial data, healthcare records)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Useful for uncovering unknown or emerging threats<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Situational or Entity-Driven Hunting<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Focused on specific events or high-value entities<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Examples: mergers, new hires, VIP devices, or third-party vendors<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Rely<\/strong> on contextual intelligence and collaboration with HR, IT, and legal teams<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"223\" src=\"https:\/\/www.progressive.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Types-of-Threat-Hunting-1024x223.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2899\" style=\"width:840px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.progressive.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Types-of-Threat-Hunting-1024x223.webp 1024w, https:\/\/www.progressive.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Types-of-Threat-Hunting-300x65.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.progressive.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Types-of-Threat-Hunting-768x167.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.progressive.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Types-of-Threat-Hunting.webp 1500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Threat Hunting Methodologies<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1.

Hypothesis-Based Hunting<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Driven by analytics, intelligence, and situational awareness<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Hypotheses can stem from ML-driven models (UEBA), malware analysis, or crown jewel assessments<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Indicators of Attack (IoA) Hunting<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Focuses on attacker behaviors rather than static IoCs<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Uses the MITRE ATT&amp;CK framework to map TTPs<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Proactively detects and isolates threats before they spread<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4.
