Every October marks the grand festival of ‘Pumpkin Spice Awareness,’ a time when cybersecurity professionals swap their witch hats for hard hats and get ready to dive into security awareness boot camps. Forget the candy corn; we’re talking threat vectors here.

This year, instead of dumping a bag of generic ‘awareness’ into our collective consciousness, we’re going gourmet with threat hunting. It’s like trick-or-treating, but instead of candy, we get to hunt down vulnerabilities with the fervor of a kid spotting a King-sized Snickers bar.

So, light your jack-o-lanterns and tighten your firewalls. As pumpkins invade our lattes and our inboxes are flooded with checklists that rival holiday shopping lists, remember — nothing says ‘I love this month’ more than combining the mystique of Halloween with the intensity of threat hunting. Because why just savor a pumpkin spice latte when you can spice up your threat intelligence, too?
