This blog post examines the costs, operational challenges, and benefits of implementing threat hunting—contrasting building an in-house hunting program (high salary and tooling costs, limited staff time, constrained visibility, and difficulty measuring impact) with buying a managed hunting service (lower marginal cost, experienced hunters, and better measurability). It recommends considering a managed hunting partner to augment limited internal resources and emphasizes maintaining repeatable processes and tracking remediation outcomes to demonstrate value.
