  2. Studien zeigen, dass etwa 70 Prozent der Cyberangriffe im Jahr 2024 durch proaktives Threat Hunting erkannt werden können. Diese Methode basiert auf der systematischen Suche nach verdächtigen Aktivitäten im Netzwerk, bevor ein Schaden entsteht. Eine effiziente cyber security weiterbildung vermittelt konkrete Techniken wie die Nutzung von SIEM-Systemen oder Anomalieerkennung, um Angreifer frühzeitig zu identifizieren. Wer sich intensiver mit diesem Thema beschäftigt, findet praktische Hinweise auf https://csvisor.de/, wo auch Schulungen und Tools vorgestellt werden.

Dabei sollte jede Maßnahme den aktuellen Standards entsprechen und regelmäßig aktualisiert werden, um gegen die stetig weiterentwickelten Bedrohungen gewappnet zu sein.
