Cybersecurity and Applied AI career insights

Founded by Julian Calvo, Ed.D., M.S.
A framework for describing adversary behavior at three levels. Tactics are the attacker's goals (initial access, persistence). Techniques are how they achieve those goals (phishing, scheduled tasks). Procedures are the specific implementation details. TTPs form the foundation of threat intelligence analysis.
TTPs are the most valuable form of cybersecurity threat intelligence because attackers change them less frequently than indicators. Threat intelligence analysts map adversary TTPs to the MITRE ATT&CK framework. SOC analysts write detection rules targeting specific techniques. Incident responders use TTP analysis to determine which threat group conducted a breach.
