Early US Hunt Teams in Ukraine

- The team grew from 10 to over 30 and stayed for three months, supporting Ukrainian cyber defenses on the ground.
Presence Enhances Cyber Defense
- Presence on the ground helps catch malware early and aids defensive efforts.
- But short tours limit teaching allies independence in threat hunting, making them reactive rather than proactive.

- Nearly a billion endpoints receive shared threat information, expanding defense beyond borders.
