As cyber attacks continue to rise in size, frequency, and complexity, cyber defense is one of the most integral and difficult pieces of any organization’s cybersecurity strategy. Cyber defense is a coordinated act of resistance that guards information, systems, and networks from cyber attacks by implementing protective procedures such as firewalls, network detection and response (NDR), endpoint detection and response (EDR) to identify, analyze, and report incidents that occur within a network. Still, cyber defense teams are faced with a near impossible task of securing all an organization’s vulnerabilities, and a big part of that means being able to deeply understand the tactics, capabilities, and motives of attackers.
