Risk Hunting: Proactive Cybersecurity or Just Another Buzzword?

Move over threat hunting, it’s time for risk hunting! Proactive and preventative, risk hunting identifies risks before they become threats. Think of it as cybersecurity’s way of saying, “Not today, hacker!” Join the purple team revolution and get ahead of cybercriminals before they even get…

Hot Take:

Who knew cybersecurity needed a touch of clairvoyance? Risk hunting is basically the crystal ball we’ve all been waiting for—minus the spooky fortune teller vibes.

Key Points:

  • Traditional threat hunting is reactive and assumes a breach has already occurred.
  • New regulations like NIS2 and DORA aim to shift organizations toward proactive risk hunting.
  • Risk hunting involves identifying potential risks before they become actual threats.
  • Intelligence-based risk hunting uses Indicators of Attack (IOA) to predict imminent threats.
  • A ‘purple team’ approach, combining red and blue team skills, is ideal for effective risk hunting.
