Proactive threat detection combines threat hunting and detection engineering to uncover stealthy attacks missed by traditional tools. Threat hunters use hypotheses, threat intelligence, and behavioral analytics to identify anomalies, while detection engineers build and refine logic to detect evolving TTPs. Techniques include IOC, TTP, and hypothesis-driven hunting, mapped to MITRE ATT\&CK. Cloud-native detection, AI/ML, and threat intel integration enhance speed and accuracy. Continuous iteration, telemetry analysis, and detection-as-code approaches ensure adaptability. This strategy reduces dwell time, minimizes false positives, and strengthens cyber resilience.
