Threat detection is the process of identifying potential security threats or malicious activities within the organization’s resources. The primary goal of threat detection is to proactively monitor, identify, and respond to breaches or, vulnerabilities to prevent breaches.
Its purpose is to protect sensitive data, maintain the integrity of the systems, and ensure business continuity by identifying and responding to security threats with faster TATs.
This process involves the threats that are previously known and documented by the team and are recognized as harmful. It relies on established threat signatures, patterns, and indicators of compromise (IoC) to detect specific threats, such as viruses, malware, or known attack techniques.
