AI Summary
Cisco Talos has expanded its Threat Hunting program to proactively identify advanced adversaries leveraging AI to evade traditional detection. The initiative recently uncovered a KongTuke command-and-control (C2) infrastructure, highlighting the need for hypothesis-driven threat hunting. As attackers increasingly use AI and legitimate tools to stay under the radar, Talos emphasizes continuous monitoring across endpoint, network, and identity data to detect sophisticated intrusions before signatures are available.
