Cyber defense is complex and easy to get wrong. Threat-informed defense is an approach to cybersecurity that involves gathering and utilizing information about potential threats and adversaries to enhance an organization's security posture. It focuses on understanding the tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) employed by threat actors and using that knowledge to develop proactive defense strategies.
In this episode, we sat down with Jon Baker, Director of the Center for Threat-Informed Defense at MITRE, to discuss the importance of threat-informed defense, the work MITRE is doing around this area, and how organizations can leverage its resources to bolster their cyber strategy.
