Endpoints

Threat Hunting in Modern Environments Threat hunting is a proactive security activity. In modern environments—hybrid clouds, remote endpoints, and expanding cloud services—threats can hide in plain sight. Hunting focuses on questions, not only alerts. Where did this user activity originate? Is a credential being misused? Are data flows moving in unexpected directions? The practice relies on data, discipline, and curiosity, and it yields findings that slow or stop attacks. What threat hunting is Threat hunting uses a simple method: form a hypothesis, collect evidence, and test it across sources. Analysts look for subtle signals that a compromised account, a rogue service, or unusual data movement exists, even when a single alert does not indicate danger. ...

Threat Hunting: Proactive Security in Practice Threat hunting is a disciplined practice that looks beyond alerts. It is a way to find hidden threats early, before they cause damage. Security teams use a hypothesis-driven approach to search for patterns that standard monitoring might miss. This makes security more proactive and less reactive. A good hunt starts with a clear question and a practical plan. In practice, a threat hunter formulates a hypothesis, such as “an attacker uses stolen credentials during off hours” or “unusual admin activity appears after a trusted login.” Then they pull data from logs, endpoints, network telemetry, and cloud services. They use search queries, analytics, and even threat intel to confirm or refute the idea. Findings are documented and shared with the response team for fast action. ...

Introduction to APIs: Design and Best Practices An API, or application programming interface, lets software talk to other software. A well designed API acts as a clear agreement between teams. It should be easy to learn, pleasant to use, and predictable enough that developers can rely on it without hunting for clues in the docs. Good APIs guide builders and reduce mistakes. When you design an API, start with a simple model. Use resources like books, users, or orders. Keep URLs stable and predictable: use nouns for resources, not actions. Use HTTP methods for actions: GET to fetch, POST to create, PUT to update, DELETE to remove. Names and data types should be consistent across endpoints. ...

Network Security in a Hyperconnected World In a hyperconnected world, everyday devices—from phones to sensors, cameras, and cars—talk to the internet. This makes networks bigger and more useful, but also opens doors for threats. A single insecure device can give an attacker a foothold in the system. For organizations and individuals, the risk is real and evolving. The path to safety is defense in depth. This means several layers of protection working together: secure devices, trusted networks, strong access controls, and a plan for quick action when something goes wrong. Start with simple steps and add tools as your needs grow. A clear plan helps prevent small issues from becoming big problems. ...
