Revolutionizing Cybersecurity with Tidal Cyber's New Procedures
The Tidal Cyber Procedures Library delivers actionable, procedure-level intelligence to help defenders move from insight to impact.
Tidal Cyber, a leader in threat-led defense, has taken a bold step in enhancing cybersecurity with the launch of its procedures library. This innovative tool provides structured, actionable insights into the behaviors of real-world adversaries. This new offering is a significant advancement in addressing the crucial challenges security teams face in modern defense strategies.
Transformative Approach to Threat Intelligence
Security professionals need more than vague tactics—they need granular, observable actions they can implement. Scott Small, CTI Director at Tidal Cyber, recognizes this need: "Defenders require actionable behavior to effectively build, test, and refine defenses." The new Procedure objects from Tidal Cyber are designed precisely for that purpose, giving defenders detailed insights they can utilize.
Bridging the Intelligence Divide
Many security operations rely on frameworks like MITRE ATT&CK to guide their defensive decisions. However, there often exists a gap due to the lack of focus on Procedures, which can yield deeper insights into adversarial behavior. Tidal Cyber's Procedures Library effectively fills this gap by recording the specific actions used by attackers in real operational contexts.
Each Procedure object is elaborately structured, providing rich context that includes connections to relevant ATT&CK Techniques, operating systems, various visibility components, and most importantly, defensive capabilities. Such a detailed approach enables security teams to evaluate how specific actions are defended—or left vulnerable—in their environments.
Innovative Technology and Expert Insights
Rick Gordon, CEO and Co-Founder of Tidal Cyber, says, "Today marks the launch of our pioneering library of structured Procedures. This new feature within the Tidal Cyber Knowledge Base allows immediate operationalization of Procedure-level threat intelligence to enhance Threat-Led Defense." This unprecedented addition to the cybersecurity landscape showcases Tidal Cyber’s commitment to empowering defenders with actionable intelligence.
Driving Operational Effectiveness
Tidal Cyber’s Procedures Library arises from in-depth research, cutting-edge platform developments, and advanced AI technologies. By leveraging proprietary AI derived from the company’s strategic acquisition of Zero-Shot Security, Tidal Cyber has sifted through over 1,500 technical reports to identify and categorize more than 20,000 Procedure Sightings and 2,300 Procedure Clusters. Each of these elements reflects either direct behaviors or strategically grouped attack patterns.
This robust methodology allows users to traverse an expanding volume of intelligence, integrating it seamlessly with their existing threat profiles and detection frameworks, thus enhancing operational effectiveness.
Seamless Integration into Existing Platforms
Beyond a mere library, Tidal Cyber's Procedures are fully embedded in the Threat-Led Defense Platform. Users can visualize these Procedures within coverage maps, easily determining which security capabilities are effective against them. This enhances visibility, detection, and streamlined prioritization, empowering security teams to act confidently.
Procedures embody the reality of how adversaries conduct their operations in the field, providing the precision required for transition from high-level intelligence to practical actions. By correlating these behaviors with detection strategies and security tooling, Tidal Cyber enables defenders to operationalize insights swiftly and effectively.
A New Era in Cyber Defense
With the introduction of these Procedures, Tidal Cyber is fundamentally altering the cybersecurity landscape. Their actionable, adversary-focused solutions help security teams to navigate away from static models and towards dynamic defense strategies.
"Defenders don't merely require data; they seek clarity and actionable insights," added Scott Small. Procedures encapsulate the actual behaviors of attackers, equipping security teams with enhanced tools to transform awareness into meaningful action. This development signifies a vital leap for the defender community.
Whether enhancing detection methods, actively hunting threats, simulating adversaries, or prioritizing cyber threat intelligence, Tidal Cyber provides an easy avenue to convert threat intelligence into actionable steps. Their mission is to turn insights into impactful results.
