SANS™ 2024 Threat Hunting Survey: Hunting For Normal Within Chaos

827 Less than a minute

This ninth annual global survey reveals threat hunting has an increasingly important role in cybersecurity operations. Learn how peers are formalizing methodologies, staying current with intelligence, navigating in-house and third-party decisions, and more. It’s fair to say threat hunting has matured and there’s a lot to know:

Is threat hunting really a discipline? It has emerged as a critical specialty: you need people who know how to hunt, intelligence that feeds into the work, and business strategy that supports it. You’ll learn what hunters are looking for today, and how they’re measuring impact.

The skills gap remains a barrier: It’s getting better: lack of skilled staff dropped from 73% last year to just 50% in 2024. But experience is still the barrier, followed by data quality. You’ll see where your peers turn for help, and how they keep everyone sharp and up to date.

Where AI Investment is headed: The volume and complexity of attacks require more autonomous responses. About half of the organizations around the world are aiming to integrate artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) into their threat hunting apparatus.
