Threat Hunting: The human solution to a human problem
2025-05-12 , Grand Ballroom B

In the face of ever-increasing cyber attacks, the 'rise' in artificial intelligence and it's deep integration with security tooling is not enough to identify and disrupt adversary behaviour. Humans play a critical role in the hunt for these threats; identifying and analysing malicious events that have bypassed traditional detection mechanisms.

In this presentation we will explore how threat hunting plays a fundamental role in the fight against highly motivated nation-state adversaries, and what you can do to enhance your own threat hunting capability.

Topics covered and key take aways:
Threat hunting fundamentals, methodologies and common misconceptions
The importance of proactive human-led threat hunting
What makes human-led threat hunting successful, and why the human factor is important
