Threat-Informed Defense (TID) shifts cybersecurity from reactive responses to proactive defense by leveraging threat intelligence, defensive measures, and continuous testing to close gaps and tailor defenses to each organization. Filigran outlines a six-stage TID pipeline that operationalizes these principles through practical steps, tools, and collaboration across security teams.
Keypoints
- Threat-informed defense aligns defenses with MITRE ATT&CK mappings to counter real adversaries.
- Three pillars: threat intelligence, defensive measures, and testing/evaluation drive continuous improvements.
- Stage 01 identifies the most relevant adversaries, malware, and campaigns for the business.
- Stage 04 uses adversary emulation and breach-and-attack simulations to validate controls.
- Stage 06 recommends quarterly executive-aligned reviews to sustain CTEM alignment.
