I don’t think a day goes by without hearing about another company that was a victim of a data breach. These companies are not small either. Organizations like the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), The Internal Revenue Service (IRS), United Airlines and many others have all lost very sensitive data. Despite significant investments in the latest next-generation technologies, software defined networks, virtualized data centers, and new detection and alerting capabilities for anomalous traffic we still seem to be losing the Cyber Battle.
How do we tip the scales in our favor? A step in the right direction would have companies develop a better understanding of the attacker and defender lifecycle. A proper defensive posture requires a company to have an understanding of their adversaries (or threats), of the changing cyber battlefield, and of their own capabilities and weaknesses. Once understood, a company will have a better understanding of how these details impact their business, and create a systemic plan to address those places where their defenses are ineffective and prioritize on the biggest risk to the business.
