Ep 21: How to start a threat program

In this Masters of Data episode, we welcome back Chas Clawson to discuss building effective threat hunting programs from the ground up. We explore the difference between proactive threat hunting and detection engineering, emphasizing how AI tools are making sophisticated security operations accessible to teams of any size. We cover practical approaches, such as prioritizing threats based on business risk, creating feedback loops between red and blue teams, and measuring success through meaningful metrics rather than vanity numbers. We examine how to balance security maturity with business velocity as we prepare for an increasingly challenging threat landscape, where AI-powered adversaries operate at unprecedented scale.
