Mapping Your Defenses to What You Need, Not What You Inherited

This whitepaper contrasts mere tool presence with meaningful defensive capability, advocating coverage mapping that measures detection and disruption against real adversary procedures using MITRE ATT&CK as a reference; it outlines how to define adversary scenarios, evaluate telemetry and detection fidelity, validate through simulation, and prioritize closing execution gaps, and positions Tidal Cyber's Threat-Led Defense as a productized implementation of this approach.
