“Security operations centers that have implemented hunting practices have reported substantial gains in their ability to spot and weed out threats. For example, respondents in the LinkedIn survey that had implemented a threat-hunting platform say they were able to detect and investigate threats in substantially less time than they were able to without it.

Without a threat-hunting platform, it took organizations in the survey an average of 38 days to detect a threat on their network, and 26 days to investigate it, compared with 15 days and 14 days for those with threat hunting.”
