New tools are coming. The fundamentals are here to stay.

What’s happening

The Threat Hunting Summit 2026 is almost here! One day, 12 practitioners, all threat hunting. This year’s summit leans hard into a question the community is actively wrestling with:

What does AI actually change about threat hunting, and what does it not?

The short answer: AI is already being demonstrated as a genuinely useful tool by accelerating hypothesis generation, surfacing patterns in telemetry, and helping hunters move faster. But it doesn’t replace sound methodology. If your fundamentals are weak, AI amplifies the noise, not the signal. The talks this year reflect that tension and give you frameworks to adapt to the accelerating field.

If you’re already in the discipline, this is a good gut-check on where the field is heading. If you’re building toward it, there’s no better place to be for a day.

Why attend

• 12 practitioners talking about what’s actually working and what isn’t
• A direct look at how AI is being integrated into real hunting workflows
• The full spectrum: detection engineering, memory forensics, network analysis, C2 behavioral profiling, agentic AI
• It’s free! The ACM/BHIS community have always believed access to good training and tooling shouldn’t require a conference budget.
