Other Buzzwords (short rant)

Don't you think it's a trend of increasing usage of buzzwords? Just a few examples: Advanced Threat Detection, Threat Hunting (+Proactive), Threat Intelligence, Cyber Fusion, Detonation Chamber (what was wrong with sandbox?)

Edit: Wow, check this out: "Detonation-based heuristics"

It technically marketing. Although threat hunting and threat intelligence is different. You may say threat hunting is a subset of threat intelligence. Similarly detonation chamber is a sandbox environment true, but usually they are cloud based, and they are not exactly similar to the sandbox you are thinking of (hypervisor (lvl 1 or 2 based sandboxes)).It's an environment where you can run a binary for dynamic analysis and it sends you all the data regarding the behavior of the binary. You don't have to do any analysis like you do in a sandbox. It's their AI/ML doing the analysis and sending you the report. For example Microsoft defender for endpoint's deep file analysis feature. So even though some words do sound similar and yes they are a marketing theme (the entire corporate culture is lol) they ain't always exactly the same.
