Cyber Threat Intelligence: The Art and Science of Security

A CISO’s Guide to MITRE ATT&CK™ The MITRE ATT&CK™ framework is an essential resource for Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs) seeking to enhance their organization’s cybersecurity posture. It provides a comprehensive, globally accessible knowledge base of adversary tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) based on real-world observations. For a CISO, ATT&CK serves as a strategic tool to understand how attackers operate, align detection and defense mechanisms with known threats, and prioritize risk mitigation efforts. By mapping security controls and incident response plans to ATT&CK, CISOs can identify coverage gaps, improve threat detection capabilities, and communicate threat models more effectively with executive leadership and technical teams. Ultimately, ATT&CK helps CISOs transition from reactive security to a proactive, intelligence-driven defense strategy.

Day 7: Metrics That Matter: MTTD, MTTR, False Positives A mature SOC does not measure success by the number of alerts closed. Instead, it tracks metrics that reflect effectiveness, efficiency, and business value. Key SOC Metrics to Track: 1. MTTD (Mean Time to Detect) Measures how quickly threats are identified after they occur. Lower MTTD = faster visibility and reduced dwell time. 2. MTTR (Mean Time to Respond/Remediate) Tracks the average time taken to contain, eradicate, and recover from incidents. Lower MTTR = minimized business disruption. 3. False Positive Rate Percentage of alerts that turn out to be benign. High false positives waste analyst time and reduce trust in the SOC. Goal: reduce noise through better tuning, use-cases, and automation. 4. Detection Coverage Measures how much of the attack surface and MITRE ATT&CK techniques are covered. Shows how prepared the SOC is against real-world threats. Key takeaway: Metrics are not just numbers for reports; they are a reflection of SOC efficiency, analyst effectiveness, and the organization’s ability to withstand cyber threats. #SOCMaturity30 #CyberSecurity #BlueTeam #SOC #Leadership #SecureWithCK

🎯 From Attack to Defense: Decoding the Red, Blue & Purple Team Dynamics 🔴 Red Teams simulate real-world cyberattacks to expose vulnerabilities before actual hackers do. 🔵 Blue Teams are your cyber defenders working 24/7 to monitor threats, respond to incidents, and strengthen your security architecture. 🟣 Purple Teams bridge the gap through real-time collaboration, ensuring offensive and defensive capabilities evolve together. The bottom line? Traditional siloed security approaches are outdated. Modern cyber defense requires integration, collaboration, and continuous improvement across all teams. Watch the video below to understand how each team functions and why they're most powerful together 🎥 #CyberSecurity #RedTeam #BlueTeam #InfoSec #CyberDefense #EthicalHacking #DataProtection

When you first start exploring how to make systems cyber secure by design, it can feel daunting to know where to begin. Having experts in-house is a strong foundation, but not enough on its own to achieve it. A roadmap is needed to connect people, expertise, and tasks to outcomes. The challenge is not in the engineering itself but in creating the structure around it, who owns what, how OT connects with IT, and how to translate the relevant principles of IEC 62443 into our engineering and operational context. We began collaborating with external experts on one project. The risk assessment gave us confidence that our systems are robust. Now we are preparing to integrate additional smart modules, and I am working to translate this approach into our broader way of working by using simple RACI overviews to agree on clear roles, align teams, and support collaboration and shared understanding. Security starts with clarity. Curious to hear how others have approached this in their organizations, feel free to share in comments or message me. #Cybersecurity #OTSecurity #IEC62443 #Operations #KenzFigee KenzFigee

Strong cybersecurity starts with simple habits, yet they’re often the most overlooked. From enabling multi-factor authentication to conducting regular employee awareness training and ensuring timely patch management, the basics often make the difference between resilience and compromise. Without them, even the most advanced defenses can fail. At Empowering CXOs 2025, We asked 𝐌𝐫. Amar Prasad Reddy (𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐒𝐞𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐲 𝐓𝐍, 𝐄𝐱 𝐀𝐝𝐯𝐢𝐬𝐨𝐫 – 𝐌𝐎𝐇 & 𝐅𝐖, 𝐆𝐨𝐯𝐭. 𝐨𝐟 𝐈𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐚): “𝑾𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒃𝒂𝒔𝒊𝒄 𝒄𝒚𝒃𝒆𝒓𝒔𝒆𝒄𝒖𝒓𝒊𝒕𝒚 𝒔𝒕𝒆𝒑𝒔 𝒔𝒉𝒐𝒖𝒍𝒅 𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒚 𝒐𝒓𝒈𝒂𝒏𝒊𝒛𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝒕𝒂𝒌𝒆 𝒕𝒐 𝒔𝒕𝒂𝒚 𝒑𝒓𝒐𝒕𝒆𝒄𝒕𝒆𝒅?” His perspective reinforces a powerful truth: cybersecurity isn’t just about complex tools, it’s about discipline, culture, and consistency. For any organization, the fundamentals are the first line of defense and the backbone of digital trust.

In cybersecurity red teaming is a stimulated cyber attack exercise designed to test an organisation defences,detection capabilities, and response readiness.A red team of ethical hackers mimics real world adversaries,using the same tactics,techniques, and procedures that actual attackers might deploy.Their goal is not just to find vulnerabilities but to challenge assumptions,uncover blind spots and improve coordination across security,IT, and leadership teams.Red teaming complements penetration testing by focusing on broader attack scenarios,persistence,and detection rather than isolated system flaws.It ultimately helps organisations strengthen resilience against genuine cyber threats.

🚩 Red Teaming: Beyond Just Penetration Testing 🚩 In today’s world, it’s not enough to just find vulnerabilities—organizations want to know how real-world attackers could break in and what impact they could cause. That’s where Red Teaming comes in. 🔹 What is Red Teaming? Red Teaming is a full-scope, multi-layered attack simulation where security professionals emulate real threat actors to test an organization’s people, processes, and technology. 🔹 Key Focus Areas: 1️⃣ Adversary Emulation – Using the tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) of real-world attackers. 2️⃣ Attack Path Simulation – From initial access to lateral movement and privilege escalation. 3️⃣ Detection & Response Testing – Evaluating how quickly and effectively the Blue Team / SOC can identify and respond. 4️⃣ Holistic Security – Covering not just IT, but also physical security and social engineering. 🔹 Why It Matters: ✔️ Provides insights into business impact, not just technical flaws. ✔️ Shows true resilience against cyber threats. ✔️ Improves detection and incident response capabilities. 👉 Bottom line: While Penetration Testing answers “What can be exploited?”, Red Teaming answers— “If an attacker really tries, how far could they go?” #RedTeam #CyberSecurity #ThreatSimulation #InfoSec #BlueTeam

In cybersecurity, the allure of continually adapting to new trends can be compelling, akin to "bobbing and weaving" to dodge threats. However, this approach often proves ineffective, leaving organizations vulnerable to potential attacks. A constantly changing cyber strategy, although appearing dynamic, can result in detrimental outcomes: - Coverage Gaps: Rapid changes may lead to the premature abandonment of tools, creating blind spots in defense. - Team Exhaustion: Constantly learning new frameworks diverts attention from mastering existing defenses, leading to fatigue and confusion among security teams. - Resource Drain: Each strategic shift incurs costs in training and implementation, diverting resources from strengthening defenses. - Measurement Challenges: Constantly shifting goals hinder the ability to measure security program effectiveness and demonstrate improvements over time. The solution lies in prioritizing a solid foundation and consistency. By adhering to a stable, risk-aligned strategy such as Zero Trust or NIST CSF, organizations can allow for tactical and technological evolution within a secure framework. A steadfast and consistent defense strategy, rooted in foundational principles, will consistently outperform one that constantly shifts. #CyberSecurity #CyberStrategy #RiskManagement #InformationSecurity #Leadership #ZeroTrust
