As security and IT teams become more resource- and time-constrained, hunting threats becomes more difficult. New research even shows that cybercriminals spend an average of 191 days inside a network before being discovered. With new vulnerabilities and attacks cropping up constantly, this is a big problem, especially when it comes to prioritizing what to focus on.
Threat hunting is a time-consuming task that requires a highly technical skillset, and according to a recent SANS Institute study, only one-third of organizations have staff dedicated to threat hunting. As we explain in our Security Orchestration and Automation (SOAR) Playbook, automating threat hunting processes—such as identifying suspicious malware, domains, and other indicators of compromise (IoCs)—can free up your team to tackle the most critical threats, faster. It lowers the barrier to hunting and helps you identify and prioritize true threats before they impact your network.

Here are four ways security orchestration and automation tools can streamline the threat hunting process:
1. Keep all eyes on your environment
When it comes to cloud and hybrid environments, managing an unbounded and complex IT system is, well, complicated. It either comes with the high cost of personnel dedicated to manual monitoring, or you risk missing important alerts due to sheer volume and lack of processes. Leveraging SOAR, you ..
