A Framework for Cyber Threat Hunting
A Framework for Cyber Threat Hunting
10 PagesThis white paper introduces a structured approach to cyber threat hunting using the Hunting Maturity Model (HMM) and a four-step Hunting Loop. The HMM defines five levels—from initial (HM0) to leading (HM4)—based on data collection, automation, and analytical capabilities. The Hunting Loop involves hypothesis creation, tool-based investigation, detection of patterns and TTPs, and analytics automation. Success depends on strong data visibility, advanced tools like linked data analysis, and iterative improvement. The Hunt Matrix ties maturity levels to hunting steps. Sqrrl Enterprise supports this model with powerful visualizations and analytics.
