Tidal Cyber CEO Rick Gordon presented a perspective on threat-led defense and MITRE ATTACK in Forbes.

Tidal Cyber is redefining how modern security teams think about exposure, detection, and readiness. No longer bound by CVE counts, asset inventories, or checkbox compliance, Tidal Cyber's Threat-Led Defense provides a level of specificity not seen before. Organizations can now reduce risk proactively with the precision to answer the most important question in cybersecurity: "Can I defend against the latest threat?" Through TTPs and procedural-level insights mapped to MITRE ATT&CK, adversary groups and their behavior are embedded into your security strategy, shifting to a proactive, continuous threat-led defense first. Built by former MITRE ATT&CK® experts and the co-founder of MITRE's Center for Threat-Informed Defense, Tidal Cyber's threat-led platform introduces a breakthrough level of specificity by mapping techniques and sub-techniques to operationalize adversary procedures. This shift transforms how organizations understand, measure, and act on threat exposure. Unlike traditional, reactive, or vulnerability-first approaches, Tidal Cyber delivers procedural-level granularity across the MITRE ATT&CK framework, offering unmatched visibility into the "how" of attacker behavior. Their coverage mapping calculates residual risk for each technique and provides stack-specific visibility, highlighting exposures based on how real-world adversaries operate.
