Use threat intelligence, open-source research, and frameworks such as MITRE ATT&CK to support scheduled and ad hoc hunts.
Coordinate with incident responders, system owners, and other technical teams to validate findings, distinguish malicious activity from authorized behavior, and support follow-up investigations.
Document hunt methods, findings, potential impact, and recommendations in clear reports that support action.
Help improve detection rules, alerts, workflows, and security coverage based on hunt findings and purple team exercises.
