A threat-informed defense means aligning your security controls with real-world attacker behavior — not just compliance checklists.
Step 1: Know Your Adversaries
Use threat intelligence to understand the tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) most relevant to your industry.
🛠 Check out WithSecure’s Threat Intelligence Reports.
Step 2: Map Your Defenses to MITRE ATT&CK
Identify which TTPs you can detect, prevent, or respond to — and where the gaps are.
🛠 WithSecure Elements EDR maps detections to MITRE — see how.
Step 3: Test and Improve
Use simulations or red teaming to validate your defenses and improve over time.
📌 A threat-informed approach helps you prioritize what matters — and ignore what doesn’t.
💬 Have you mapped your defenses to MITRE? What did you learn?
