Recce patrols in the army and cyber threat hunting are both proactive and systematic searches for potential threats.
In an army recce patrol, soldiers are sent out to find out what the enemy is doing and where they are, find potential threats, and report back to their commanders.
In a similar way, cyber threat hunting involves actively looking for potential cyber threats and vulnerabilities in a network or system. This is often done with the help of specialised tools and techniques to find and stop potential attacks before they happen.
Both activities require a thorough understanding of the environment being watched, whether it’s a physical battlefield or a digital network, and a structured way to look for possible threats.
Both require the ability to recognise and analyse patterns of behaviour that could indicate a threat and the ability to act quickly and decisively to stop the threat or lessen its effects.
