CompTIA CySA+ (CS0-002) — Question 225

As a proactive threat-hunting technique, hunters must develop situational cases based on likely attack scenarios derived from the available threat intelligence information. After forming the basis of the scenario, which of the following may the threat hunter construct to establish a framework for threat assessment?

Answer options

• A. Critical asset list
• B. Threat vector
• C. Attack profile
• D. Hypothesis

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, as a hypothesis allows the threat hunter to formulate educated guesses about potential threats based on the scenario. Options A, B, and C, while relevant in the context of security, do not serve as a framework for threat assessment in the same way that a hypothesis does.
