Cyber threat hunting

Okay, kiddo, you know how there are some bad guys out there who like to try and do bad things on the computer? Cyber threat hunting is like being a detective who tries to find those bad guys before they can do any harm.

When people and companies use the internet and computers, they can sometimes leave little clues that the bad guys might be up to something. A cyber threat hunter looks for those clues and follows them to try and find any bad guys who are trying to do bad things like stealing information or attacking websites.

It's like a game of hide and seek, but the game is serious because the bad guys could hurt people or take important information. So cyber threat hunters have to be really smart and careful and work with other people to help keep everyone safe.
