A SOC repeatedly discovers similar attacker behaviors during separate hunts, indicating recurring detection gaps. What process change MOST effectively prevents rediscovery of the same threats?
The correct answer is converting hunt findings into permanent detections. Threat hunting is only effective when discoveries are operationalized.
Without converting findings into SIEM, EDR, or NDR detections, organizations repeatedly identify the same attacker behaviors, wasting time and resources. Options A, B, and D improve capacity but do not eliminate blind spots.
Mature threat hunting programs ensure that:
Hunts produce detection rules
Alerts are tuned and validated
Knowledge is institutionalized
This is a defining trait of high-maturity security organizations and directly improves resilience. Therefore, option C is correct.
