                     TOP 15 INTERVIEW
QUESTION FOR
THREAT 
HUNTERS
THREAT 
THhreaUt HuNntingT is thEe pRroceSss of searching for cyber threats that are lurking  
undetected in the network, datasets, and endpoints. The process involves 
diegegpin ignto the environment to check for malicious actors. To avoid such 
attacks,
threat hunting is critical. Attackers or hackers can remain undetected within 
the
network for months, silently collecting data login credentials and gathering 
your
confidential information
Over time, threat hunting and incident response approaches have improved.  
Advanced methodologies are being used by organizations to identify risks by 
using  professional threat hunters even before damage or loss occurs. Our 
Threat Hunting  Professional Online Training Course enhances your abilities and 
assists you in  comprehending threats and their goals.
Threat Hunting Professional is an online training course created by InfosecTrain 
that  teaches you how to seek risks proactively and become a better-balanced 
penetra-  tion tester. Our skilled educators will teach you the fundamentals and 
procedures of
threat hunting, as well as step-by-step instructions for hunting for threats across

InfosecTrain has created a few essential 
interview  questions and answers that can 
help you in the  interviews; here are they:
1 What is Threat Hunting?
Cyber threat hunting is a  type of active cyber 
defense.  It’s “the practice of scanning across 
networks proactively  and repeatedly to find and 
2 Cideannti fyy oaudv dainffceedr ethnrteiaattse between Threat 
Hunting  and Pen Testing?
Pen testing reveals how an adversary might get 
access  to your environment. It highlights the 
dangers of not  protecting the environment by 
demonstrating how  various vulnerabilities might be 
exploited and exposing  risky IT practices.
3 Is it possible to find nothing in some 
Threat  Hunting exercises?
Yes, it is theoretically possible to find nothing in some  
threat hunting exercises, but it is not a complete waste 
of  time because we may discover a few other 
vulnerabilities  that we didn’t ever experience or 
thought existed. So, it is  always good to conduct a 
thorough threat hunting  process even if we don’t find 
any potential threats.

hunYets ,t woithout a doubt. Security teams can use the 
threat  data obtained during a hunt to understand 
why they  couldn’t detect the threats and then devise 
a strategy for  detecting the suspicions in future 
attacks. Skilled hunters  understand that a large part 
of their job entails gathering  danger data that can be 
utilized to develop more robust,  more effective 
defenses.
5 What is MITRE ATT&CK?
MITRE ATT&CK® means MITRE Adversarial Tactics,  
Techniques, and Common Knowledge, and it is a  
trademark of MITRE (ATT&CK). The MITRE ATT&CK 
framework  is a  collected body of knowledge and a 
paradigm for  cyber adversary behavior, representing 
the many stages  of an adversary’s attack life cycle 
and the technologies  they are known to target.
6 What is the use of Mitre ATT&CK?
Threat hunters, red teamers, and defenders use the 
MITRE  ATT&CK paradigm to identify cyberattacks 
better and  evaluate an organization’s vulnerability.

8 What is the primary goal of Threat 
Hunting?
The purpose of threat hunting is to keep an eye 
on  everyday operations and traffic across the 
network,  looking for any irregularities that could 
lead to a
full-fledged breach.

10 aWnhda Tth irse tahte H duiffnteirnegn?ce between Threat 
InteTlhlirgeaetn hcuenting and threat intelligence are two 
separate  security disciplines that can complement 
each other.
Subscribing to a threat intelligence feed, on the other 
 hand, does not eliminate the requirement to threat 
hunt  your network. Even if hazards haven’t been 
detected in  the wild, a  competent threat hunter can 
detect them.
11Can you differentiate between Incident 
Response  and Threat Hunting?
Threat hunting is a  hypothesis-driven process that 
involves  looking for threats that have slipped through 
the cracks  and are now lurking in the network. Incident 
response is a   reactive approach that occurs when an 
intrusion detection  system recognizes an issue and 
creates an alert, whereas  threat hunting is a proactive 
strategy.
12What is proactive Threat Hunting?
The process of proactively exploring across networks 
or  datasets to detect and respond to sophisticated  
cyberthreats that circumvent standard rule, or  
signature-based security controls is known as 
proactive  threat hunting.

exaYmesi,n ae threat hunter and the rest of the team should 
be  looking into various areas. Just because you’ve 
come up  with a certain theory doesn’t imply that you 
should limit  your investigation to that region. Rather, 
the threat hunter  must look into other areas in order 
to acquire a complete  picture of your IT system. This 
includes your regular IT  systems, virtual machines, 
servers, and even your  production environment; 
make sure you have the  appropriate backups in 
place in these cases.
