Curated Intelligence for the Defender.
Proper defense requires staying ahead of the threats you cannot see. This page gathers everything Focused Hunts publishes: technical hunting guides, a weekly threat recap, plain-language articles, a password manager and two books on AI in security work.
The content covers the current state of cyber activity, from traditional threats to real-world AI incidents, across technical, operational and management perspectives. This is not a breaking-news feed. The focus is actionable intelligence, with the specific detection queries a defender needs to hunt for the activity in their own environment.
Use it to understand that information is perspective, not just transient Indicators of Compromise (IOCs), and to keep strengthening your defenses, with no paywall and no sign-up.
