At FourCore, our vision is that "Real Threats lead to Real Response", and that's we can achieve Threat-informed Defense. There are three key components to Threat-informed defense: threat intelligence, purple teaming and adversary emulation.

Cyberattacks are growing daily, posing imminent threats to organisations of all shapes and sizes. To be battle-ready against adversaries, we must adopt a discipline centred around operationalising cyber threat intelligence, modelling TTPs of threat actors, emulating these tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs), and building collaboration between the offensive and defensive teams.

Threat-informed Defense

We must shift from a compliance/vulnerability-focused mindset to a threat-centric proactive mindset by adopting a "Threat-informed Defense" (TiD) approach.

An approach coined by MITRE, "threat-informed defense applies a deep understanding of adversary tradecraft and technology to protect against, detect, and mitigate cyber-attacks."

Threat-informed defense is not a tool or tactic but a methodology; at the heart of it is MITRE ATT&CK, the curated knowledge base and model for cyber adversary behaviour. A repository that weaves the cyber threat information, vulnerabilities, mitigations, recommendations, and detection strategies into classes known as TTPs.

Accelerate Security Posture Improvement

Talking about adversary emulation, simulation, or purple team is critical to the Threat-informed Defense cycle. Threat-informed Defense is about using threat intelligence and how we can test and evaluate our systems and defenses, identifying and filling the gaps in prevention and detection.

Purple teaming enables collaboration and becomes a practical component of threat-informed defenses. At the same time, adversary emulation helps generate actionable evidence of prevention and detection for the intelligence, red and blue teams.

Solutions and vendors will always talk about stopping every threat out there, and it's just a promise, not evidence. But applying threat-informed defense principles, adversary emulation, and purple teaming can move things out of the land of promise to a ground of evidence-based security.

FourCore enables Threat-Informed Defense by helping organisations better understand adversaries and their TTPs with Adversary Emulation, helping them operationalise threat intelligence by providing the capability to assess their organisations against the latest threats that matter to them and promote collaboration between the security teams via Purple Teaming.
