Data overtakes staffing as top threat hunting challenge: SANS
Josh Lemon, SANS Principal Instructor or years, the effectiveness of threat hunting
F programmes depended largely on whether organisations had enough skilled professionals to carry them out. However, the SANS Institute’ s newly released SANS 2026 Threat Hunting Survey: The Evolution of Threat Hunting, authored by Josh Lemon, SANS Principal Instructor, reveals that staffing is no longer the biggest challenge.
Instead, the findings highlight persistent structural challenges in threat hunting, with data quality and availability emerging as the leading obstacles to effective threat detection.
The survey gathered responses from 500 cybersecurity practitioners and security leaders across North America, Europe, Latin America and
Asia. Since 2021, it has tracked how organisations approach proactive threat detection.
According to the findings, 82 % of respondents have been conducting threat hunting activities for at least two years. Despite this growing experience, 50 % now identify data quality or quantity as their primary barrier to effective threat hunting. This marks the first time in the survey’ s history that data-related challenges have overtaken the shortage of skilled professionals, cited by 45 % of respondents.
Cloud infrastructure presents the greatest challenges, with 32 % of respondents identifying it as the most difficult environment in which to conduct threat hunting, even as organisations continue migrating more of their infrastructure to the cloud.
