Threat Hunting & Compromise Assesment

Threat hunting and compromise assessment are two closely related concepts in the field of information security and threat detection. Here is a brief explanation of both:

1. Threat Hunting
   Threat hunting is the proactive process of searching for and identifying threats that may have successfully evaded detection by existing security systems. It involves searching, analyzing, and investigating for signs or traces that indicate the presence of threats in a network or system. In threat hunting, security analysts use various methods, tools, and techniques to find out about ongoing or possible future attacks. The main goal of threat hunting is to find threats that are undetectable by traditional security solutions and tackle them before they reach their destination.
   
   
2. Compromise Assessment
   Compromise assessment is an evaluation process conducted to identify whether a system or network has been compromised by a threat or attack. This process involves tracing and analyzing activities or indicators that indicate the presence of a threat, such as the presence of malware, suspicious behavior, or unauthorized access attempts. In compromise assessment, a combination of security tools and analytical techniques are often used to find out if an attack has successfully penetrated defenses and if any traces of compromise can be identified. By assessing the level of compromise, organizations can take action to fix vulnerabilities, clean up infected systems, and improve overall security.
