Episode 96: Threat Hunting and Red Team Exercises

Proactive threat hunting involves searching for signs of compromise that automated tools may miss. In this episode, we explain how threat hunters use hypothesis-driven analysis, threat intelligence, and behavioral indicators to uncover hidden risks. We also explore red team exercises—simulated attacks designed to test detection and response capabilities. You'll learn about attack frameworks like MITRE ATT&CK and how to coordinate purple teaming to maximize value. These offensive techniques, when used ethically, provide deep insight into real-world readiness and resilience—essential knowledge for CISSP professionals.
