When we talk about cybersecurity, we often talk about defense. We talk about how to protect proprietary information and sensitive data best and how to best keep threat actors out of our systems. Ransomware attacks make headlines daily, and we want to ensure our organization doesn’t make the evening news a cyber victim. Our recent State of the Underground 2024 report states that the average ransomware payout increased substantially, rising from $812,380 in 2022 to $1,542,333 in 2023. IT departments are always looking for more efficient protection against the next generation of cyber threats.

Part of a solid cybersecurity defense is active, ongoing threat hunting, and the purpose of this ebook is to share a finely tuned approach to efficient threat hunting. In his updated 2024 guide, Michael-Angelo Zummo, Global Director, CTI at Cybersixgill, gives us his insights and practical advice for improving your threat hunting capabilities.
