Part of Cyber Threat Intelligence team conducting assessments of our clients to understand critical assets, most likely threats against those assets, and then develop plans and strategies to mitigate risks. The entire idea is for them to continue operations no matter what. We take data from the field to create overall Threat Model and Cyber Defense Plans and Strategies using MITRE ATT&CK, NIST CSF and other frameworks to structure our strategy. Overall idea of what we do is below:Industry: What industry? What is unique about that industry? Critical Assets: What are the crown jewels, key terrain or critical assets most important to keep the client operating? Potential Threat: Based on all the above and threat intelligence resources, what are the most likely threats to an organization like this? Think like an attacker: Based on the most likely threats and their known TTPs and methodology, how would we attack this organization? Bespoke Defense: Proactively mitigate threat by designing a defense tailored to the client with all known information.
