Using MITRE ATT&CK™ in Threat Hunting and Detection

Threat hunting is the process of proactively searching for malware or attackers that reside on your network . The generally accepted method is to leverage a security information and event management (SIEM) solution that centrally collects log data from disparate sources — endpoints, servers, firewalls, security solutions, antivirus (AV), and more — providing visibility into network, endpoint, and application activity that might indicate an attack . In this white paper, we will discuss the minimum toolset and data requirements you need for successful threat hunting . We will take into account that, while some readers can devote most of their time to threat hunting, like most, you have limited time and resources for this activity . The good news is that threat hunting is flexible, and anyone can do it, regardless if you are spending just a few hours a week to full time.
