NCSC urges broader observability and threat hunting
Industry Or Public Sector UpdateThe National Cyber Security Centre urged UK organizations to improve observability and threat hunting across accounts, devices, networks, applications, on-premises systems and cloud services, warning that many defenders still lack a comprehensive view of their environments and may be hindered by shadow IT. The guidance also pushes security teams to move beyond indicators of compromise such as IP addresses, domain names and file hashes and instead consume, create, share and detect tactics, techniques and procedures that reveal how attackers operate.
