Cyber Security Threat Hunters are professionals trained to look for cyber security threats. They are trained to observe any anomalous behavior in your network, analyze them and thus prevent anything untoward from happening. They bring in the much-needed human element which IT security tools lack. They profile the future hacker based on the current security threat landscape just like the police profile criminals by taking into account 3 critical aspects of hacking: the intent, capability and opportunity to do harm; and using this, they predict and thereby prevent the malware attack which may be perpetrated by them.”]
