Question 1

What operational lessons can be learned from recent high-profile supply chain breaches?

Accepted Answer

Recent supply chain breaches highlight the importance of third-party risk management, software integrity validation, privileged access controls, continuous monitoring, and rapid incident response. Attackers increasingly target trusted vendors, software updates, cloud providers, and managed service providers to gain indirect access to enterprise environments.

Question 2

How do I map current threat actor TTPs to the MITRE ATT&CK framework?

Accepted Answer

Map threat actor tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) to the MITRE ATT&CK framework by correlating observed attack behaviours with ATT&CK techniques such as credential access, lateral movement, privilege escalation, persistence, and command-and-control activity. Threat intelligence platforms and SOC workflows often use ATT&CK mapping to improve detection engineering, threat hunting, and incident response coverage.

Question 3

What is threat-informed defence and how does it differ from traditional patching?

Accepted Answer

Threat-informed defence is a cybersecurity strategy that prioritises security controls, detection capabilities, and remediation efforts based on real-world adversary behaviour and threat intelligence. Unlike traditional patching programs that focus mainly on severity scores, threat-informed defence prioritises vulnerabilities and exposures that attackers are actively exploiting against similar organisations or industries.
