Threat Profiling & Risk Insights

In today’s rapidly evolving cyber threat landscape, understanding who might target your business and how they operate is crucial. Threat Profiling & Risk Insights provides businesses with comprehensive, data-driven analysis of potential threat actors, helping organizations identify, understand, and mitigate cyber risks effectively.

Our service focuses on profiling the threat actors most relevant to your business, mapping their tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) to established cybersecurity frameworks like the Essential 8 and the Information Security Manual (ISM). This allows you to take a proactive approach by aligning your security strategy with best practices.

Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures (TTPs) refer to the methods that cyber threat actors use to carry out attacks. Understanding these TTPs helps identify how attackers operate, from spear-phishing to web application exploitation. Mapping these TTPs to defensive measures such as the Essential 8 and ISM provides a roadmap for mitigating these threats based on real-world attack methods.

The Essential 8 is a set of prioritized cybersecurity strategies recommended by the Australian Cyber Security Centre (ACSC). It includes eight core actions to help organizations mitigate cyber risks:

  • Application Whitelisting
  • Patch Applications
  • Configure Microsoft Office Macro Settings
  • User Application Hardening
  • Restrict Administrative Privileges
  • Patch Operating Systems
  • Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)
  • Regular Backups

 

By mapping threat actor TTPs to the Essential 8, businesses can focus on the most critical actions to defend against identified threats, ensuring they cover the most impactful cybersecurity controls.

The ISM is a set of guidelines published by the Australian Signals Directorate (ASD) designed to help organizations protect their systems and information from cyber threats. Mapping threat actor TTPs to the ISM ensures that your organization’s defenses comply with government standards and that you are equipped to handle both common and sophisticated cyberattacks.

By mapping the TTPs of relevant threat actors to the Essential 8 and ISM controls, you gain several key advantages:

Targeted Risk Mitigation: You’ll know exactly which defensive measures to prioritize based on the specific threats your business is most likely to face.

Compliance: Ensure alignment with industry and government standards, including the Essential 8 and ISM, making your security posture more robust.

Clear Actionable Steps: The mapping provides clear, actionable insights, allowing your security team to address vulnerabilities more efficiently.

Improved Incident Response: By understanding the tactics used by attackers, your organization can improve its detection and response capabilities

Strategic Investment: Focus your cybersecurity budget on the most critical areas by aligning defenses with real-world threats.
