The Hunt Files: Yesterday’s Threats, Tomorrow’s Hunts

Threats don't stand still, and neither should threat hunters. Throughout 2026, we've seen adversaries evolve their techniques, revisit familiar tradecraft, and challenge how we approach threat hunting. The question isn't just what we learned from this year's activity. It's how we use those lessons to prepare for what's coming next.

In this live episode, Scott Poley and Tom Kostura will talk through the threats, trends, and hunting lessons that shaped 2026, then turn our attention to 2027. We'll explore where adversary behaviors may be heading, what hunters should be thinking about, and how to position ourselves to identify emerging threats.

What we'll cover:

- Revisiting the notable threats, adversary behaviors, and trends that shaped the hunting landscape in 2026
- Breaking down key lessons learned and what they mean for future hunting efforts
- Exploring how adversary tradecraft is evolving and which behaviors deserve continued attention
- Discussing emerging threats, technologies, and potential blind spots hunters should be considering for 2027
