Question #: 3

A threat hunter generates a report containing the list of users who have logged in to a particular database during the last 6 months, along with the number of times they have each authenticated. They sort this list and remove any user names who have logged in more than 6 times. The remaining names represent the users who rarely log in, as their activity is more suspicious. The hunter examines each of these rare logins in detail.

This is an example of what type of threat-hunting technique?

I'm feeling lucky, so I'm gonna go with 'Outlier Frequency Analysis'. It's like the cybersecurity version of finding a needle in a haystack, but with more hacking and less hay.

Hah! 'Time Series Analysis'? What is this, a history class? Nah, I'm betting the answer is 'Least Frequency of Occurrence Analysis'. It's all about finding the reclusive login unicorns.

I'm gonna go with 'Co-Occurrence Analysis' on this one. Gotta keep an eye on those users who are always hanging out together, you know? They might be up to no good.

Hmm, I'm not sure about this one. Maybe it's 'Outlier Frequency Analysis'? After all, rare logins are kind of like the black sheep of the login family, right? They stand out, so we gotta look into them.
