Introduce the carbon black threat hunting process
Carbon black is a semi-liquid, synthetic, graphitic and particulate carbon black widely used in industrial applications as a pigment. Carbon black can be found as an additive in many products ranging from cosmetics to car paints. This product was previously thought to be harmless because it was so tiny that the human body would filter out large particles before they reached the bloodstream or lungs. However, research has connected carbon black to serious health issues such as lung cancer. As a result of this new evidence, the paint industry took action to reduce the use of carbon black in industrial applications to prevent prolonged exposure.
In the 21st century, the paint industry now recognizes that there is a threat of carbon black entering the environment through materials such as landfills. This focus on reducing the amount of carbon black leads to products being introduced that are “carbon black free”. As a result, the amount of carbon black production has decreased significantly. The decreased production means that there is also a decrease in wages and employment opportunities related to black lead manufacturing.
Carbon black threat hunting is a process that uses data artifacts to discover and analyze an impending threat. The below table represents the activities in which threat hunters perform to combat carbon black contamination of the environment.

Outline the benefits of carbon black threat hunting
As a result of the new research, the paint industry recognized that carbon black can cause severe health problems to employees who are exposed to large concentrations over an extended period of time. As a proposed solution, the paint industry created a Carbon Black Threat Hunting procedure in which employees are warned about possible dangers and given the option to leave their jobs. In addition, companies must investigate certain carbon black risk factors such as smoking history and current state of lung health in order to determine if reducing exposure is warranted. In the long run, this solution was created to avoid future lawsuits which could damage the paint industry’s reputation and cause permanent health problems.
In a study conducted by the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health, researchers found that occupational exposure to carbon black poses a significant health risk to workers. It was also concluded that if no measures are taken to control the exposure, there is an increased risk of developing cancer as well as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. In order to prevent these risks from occurring, carbon black threat hunting protocols have been implemented in industries that are exposed to high concentrations of carbon black such as paint manufacturing factories.

Describe how Carbon Black can help with carbon black threat hunting
Carbon black is a semi-liquid, synthetic, graphitic and particulate carbon black widely used in industrial applications as a pigment. Carbon black can be found as an ingredient in ink, animal feed additives, cosmetics, insecticides and a variety of other products. Carbon black can also be found in cigarette smoke.
Carbon Black is a security company that specializes in threat hunting and detection using big data. Threat hunters use Carbon Black’s AI-powered Security Intelligence Platform to find security threats by uncovering their behaviors through pattern analysis and machine learning algorithms. This can help detect malicious threats with high accuracy before they become an issue for businesses or personal computers.
Carbon Black is a cloud-based security company that was founded in 2012. Their headquarters are located in Waltham, Massachusetts.

Share a case study of how Carbon Black helped to mitigate a carbon black security incident
This case study is an example of how carbon black helped to mitigate a carbon black security incident. In order to prevent repeat occurrences, the paint industry needed to implement an effective carbon black threat hunting procedure. In addition, the paint industry wanted to improve employee health and safety which was a crucial aspect of this situation. As a result of these two major issues addressed, the paint industry successfully implemented a Carbon Black Threat Hunting procedure which has helped employees reduce their likelihood of getting cancer from this dangerous product. This article will cover how Carbon Black helped to mitigate a carbon black security incident.
This case study takes place in the paint industry where “carbon black” is used to make paint pigments (Tolbert, 2001). According to Tolbert (2001), “paint additives are typically made from mineral and organic materials, some of which are potentially harmful.” Since these pigments contain materials that could be harmful to an individual’s health, it is important to limit the amount of exposure an employee has to this product. This case study concerns the industrial paint industry, and how Carbon Black helped to mitigate a carbon black security incident which in turn helped to ensure that employees in the paint industry would no longer be exposed to harmful health hazards.
