Hypothesis-based threat hunting can help us tackle this issue by assuming that an incident of any kind has already happened and that the Indicators of Attack/Compromise just need to be uncovered. This way, we can proactively detect threats in our environment and enhance the detecting solutions afterwards with new experience gained while hunting for such occurrences.
During this session, Mike Jankowski-Lorek will show you how to:
- Come up with a good hypothesis tailored for your own environment
- Create KQL queries based on what we know from the hypothesis
- Analyze the results to disclose any unwanted activity
- Solutions used during this session include (but are not limited to) Microsoft Sentinel, Microsoft 365 Defender, and Azure AD.
