Threat hunting goes beyond traditional alert-driven detection by proactively searching for indicators of compromise within the environment. In this episode, we explore what threat hunting is, why it's becoming a critical capability, and how CISOs support and guide hunting programs. You’ll learn about the use of hypotheses, the importance of telemetry visibility, and how analysts use hunting frameworks like MITRE ATT&CK to identify suspicious behaviors before they trigger alarms.

We also discuss the executive considerations of launching and maintaining a threat hunting function, including resourcing, tooling, and cross-team collaboration. A CISO doesn’t need to perform the hunts—but they do need to understand their value, how results are measured, and how they feed into larger security initiatives. On the exam, you may encounter scenario-based questions that test your grasp of threat hunting maturity and investment decisions—this episode ensures you're ready to lead from the top.
