Episode 52 — Spaced Review: reinforce threat hunting, active defense, and community resource leverage
This episode consolidates proactive detection concepts that GSOM expects you to apply with confidence, especially when traditional alerts are not giving you enough clarity or coverage. You will revisit threat hunting as a hypothesis-driven process that demands clear questions, reliable telemetry, and defensible conclusions, then connect active defense to safe improvements that increase visibility and impose friction through hardened pathways and better auditing. We will also reinforce how community sourced resources can accelerate coverage, while emphasizing the exam-relevant discipline of validating assumptions, adapting queries to your schema, and tuning to prevent noise and false confidence. Short scenario cues will help you practice selecting the best next step when a hunt reveals a gap, when a shared detection rule floods the queue, or when leadership asks for proactive assurance after a high-profile threat report.
