SANS 2024 Threat Hunting Survey: Hunting for Normal Within Chaos

In recent years, the cyber threat landscape has evolved significantly, blurring the lines between tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) used by cybercrime and nation-state-sponsored attacks. On this webcast, SANS certified instructors Mat Fuchs and Josh Lemon will explore results of our 2024 Threat Hunting Survey, and reveal how organizations are changing their proactive hunting activities and their use of hunting for unusual patterns, behaviors, and artifacts within network traffic and endpoints to catch threat actors who continually try to side-step detections. Register for this webcast now, and you will automatically receive the companion white paper upon publication.
