10 Resources for beginners to learn Threat Hunting

Threat Hunting:

Threat hunting is a specific domain in cyber security that aims to identify any attacks or threats in the business organization. Threat hunters identify these attacks in the network and use tools such as EDR to detect any advanced persistent threats that might have not been detected by security tools such as firewalls, incident response teams, etc. Once the process is implemented internally, these hunters can proactively check for any threats in the outside world using threat intelligence. So threat hunting can be described as a process of identifying threats or vulnerabilities during the attack phases while Digital forensics is performed after the attack is being executed.
