A SOC repeatedly discovers similar attacker behaviors during separate hunts, indicating recurring detection gaps.

The correct answer isconverting hunt findings into permanent detections. Threat hunting is only effective when discoveries areoperationalized.

Without converting findings into SIEM, EDR, or NDR detections, organizations repeatedly identify the same attacker behaviors, wasting time and resources. Options A, B, and D improve capacity but do not eliminate blind spots.

Mature threat hunting programs ensure that:

Hunts produce detection rules

Alerts are tuned and validated

Knowledge is institutionalized

This is a defining trait ofhigh-maturity security organizationsand directly improves resilience. Therefore, optionCis correct.
