Know Your Enemy

The Threat-Informed Foundation of CTEM

CTEM is built on the principles of threat-informed defense. Rather than treating exposures as isolated vulnerabilities or alerts, this approach focuses on how real adversaries operate and which techniques are most likely to impact your organization. By grounding security priorities in adversary behavior, teams can focus their efforts on the attack paths most likely to impact their environment.

In this session, we explore how adversary insights shape CTEM scoping and validation, how threat intelligence can be translated into testable security outcomes, and where organizations commonly struggle when starting a CTEM program.
