Introduction

Threat hunting has evolved into a proactive necessity for security teams across enterprises, financial institutions, and government organizations. Reactive defenses no longer suffice — advanced persistent threats (APTs), ransomware gangs, and insider threats demand tools that empower analysts to detect, investigate, and neutralize adversaries before damage occurs.
