Security teams have more threat intelligence, vulnerability data, security tools, and frameworks than ever before, yet many still struggle to answer a fundamental question:

Are your defenses prepared for the adversaries most likely to target your organization?

Threat intelligence often remains disconnected from security operations, vulnerability programs prioritize what is exploitable rather than what adversaries are actively using, and defensive coverage is frequently measured against broad frameworks instead of the specific ways attacks are executed.

In this webinar, Tidal Cyber will discuss Threat-Led Defense, a practical approach for operationalizing threat intelligence around procedures and how adversaries actually execute attacks and turning this intelligence into prioritized defensive action.

Attendees will learn how execution-level adversary procedures - the commands, tools, scripts, and steps attackers use in real-world operations - can help enterprise and government security teams identify the threats that matter, evaluate whether existing defenses can address them, expose meaningful coverage gaps, and focus limited resources where they can have the greatest impact.

In this webcast, you’ll learn how to:

  • Identify and prioritize the adversaries, campaigns, and attacks most relevant to their organization, industry, or mission.
  • Move beyond abstract techniques and high-level threat frameworks to understand the real-world procedures adversaries use to execute attacks.
  • Connect assets, vulnerabilities, security controls, detection capabilities, and defensive operations across the kill chain.
  • Evaluate existing defensive coverage and identify the gaps most likely to increase organizational or mission risk and how to stop the probability of attacker success.
  • Apply Threat-Led Defense across threat intelligence, detection engineering, threat hunting, security operations, and security leadership teams.
