Modern adversaries rely on stealth, living-off-the-land techniques, and zero-day exploitation to evade traditional security controls. This practical guide shows experienced defenders how to move beyond reactive alerts and build a proactive threat hunting capability driven by cyber threat intelligence.Written for seasoned cybersecurity professionals, the book demonstrates how to formulate CTI-driven hunt hypotheses and detect advanced persistent threats by analyzing adversary behavior across the Cyber Kill Chain. You’ll learn how to track APT infrastructure, map attacker TTPs using the MITRE ATT&CK framework, and identify post-exploitation activity that signals successful compromise.
Through hands-on exercises, you’ll apply behavioral analytics, detection engineering, and machine learning–based anomaly detection to uncover what signature-based tools miss. Coverage includes threat hunting in cloud, hybrid, and ICS/OT environments, with real-world techniques for lateral movement, persistence, privilege escalation, and data exfiltration.
By the end of this book, you’ll be equipped to run intelligence-led threat hunts, detect advanced threats earlier, and operationalize CTI as a core part of your defensive strategy.
