A threat hunting team wants to ensure hunts are repeatable, scalable, and less dependent on individual analyst intuition. What is the MOST important process improvement?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

The correct answer is standardizing hunt documentation and hypotheses. Mature threat hunting programs move beyond ad-hoc, intuition-driven efforts.

Standardization enables:

Knowledge sharing

Consistent methodology

Repeatable hunts

Easier onboarding of new analysts

Option A and B support operations but do not improve hunting maturity. Option D is unrealistic and risky.

By documenting hypotheses, data sources, queries, findings, and outcomes, organizations institutionalize knowledge and continuously improve detection capabilities.

This is a defining characteristic of high-maturity threat hunting programs.

Therefore, option C is correct.

More threat intel feeds won't help if we can't act on it.

Blocking all suspicious activity automatically seems risky. It might lead to false positives and could hinder the hunting process.

Increasing threat intelligence feeds sounds tempting, but I feel like it could just overwhelm the team instead of making things scalable.

I'm not so sure about that. I remember a practice question where automating workflows was highlighted as crucial for efficiency.
