Threat detection is the practice of identifying malicious activity, security breaches, or vulnerabilities within an organization's networks, systems, or applications, often using monitoring tools, log analysis, and behavioral analytics. Security analysts and SOC (Security Operations Center) teams rely on it to spot intrusions like malware, phishing, or unauthorized access in near real time. It is a foundational skill in cybersecurity roles.
