The role of AI threat detection in threat hunting

AI/ML can substantially strengthen threat detection and hunting by rapidly analyzing large volumes of telemetry to surface anomalies, automate triage, generate high-fidelity leads, and improve threat intelligence sharing; organizations like Expel leverage broad customer telemetry and MDR data to build scalable hunting logic and deduplicate IOCs. However, ML effectiveness depends on diverse, high-quality training data and ongoing model maintenance, and defenders must account for adversaries who also adopt ML techniques.
