Mitre ATT&CK!, Threat Modeling & Understanding Your Control Coverage
Organizations often struggle to adequately understand how security frameworks, GRC programs, and technical controls all work together to defend against Threat Actors and emerging threats. In today's climate of vendors promising their tools or technologies will be your security "silver bullet", many organizations lack the visibility or understanding of how their controls truly function, where control gaps may exist, or whether controls are effective at defending against the TTP's they should be prioritizing. By bridging the gaps between GRC programs, regulatory compliance, technical tooling and Threat Intelligence, security teams can be informed of where to invest time and resources to improve control coverage, or where to direct efforts to validate existing controls for efficacy to continually improve defenses.
