What is threat-informed defense?

Most organizations lack clear visibility into their security controls’ effectiveness. Security controls fail often and silently, and breaches continue to carry impact. Cybersecurity teams need a proactive, easy means to stay on top of how well their security programs are actually performing.

A threat-informed defense strategy helps solve this problem by focusing organizations on known threats, and then testing security controls against adversary behaviors like those outlined in the MITRE ATT&CK® framework. By testing defenses continuously, over time, teams have better data and insights into their program performance.
