Appendix – The State of the Hunt

The Threat Hunting Maturity Model

The composition of the threat hunting team and the time dedicated to hunting itself is going to be determined by the size and needs of your organization. When there is no budget for a dedicated team, the time for the hunt is going to come out of the work schedules of other security analysts. In this scenario, the analysts are usually part of the SOC or incident response team.

So, if the team has limited resources, in order to carry out a successful threat hunting program, it is necessary for us to carefully plan and prepare the hunt, as well as combine our processes and experiences with our great knowledge of the tools, the techniques, and the technology we are using. Here is where David Bianco's Threat Hunting Maturity Model can help us determine where we are standing and what we need to do in order to grow our hunting team.
