Tidal Cyber Threat-Led Defense: Redefining Detection & Defense

Tidal Cyber: Advancing Threat-Led Defense for the Public Sector

Public sector organizations face a unique challenge balancing mission-critical operations, strict regulatory requirements, and limited resources while defending against a growing number of sophisticated cyber threats. Traditional, vulnerability-led security approaches often fall short, producing static checklists that fail to capture how real-world adversaries operate and execute techniques against your defenses.

Tidal Cyber’s Threat-Led Defense platform puts real-world adversary behavior at the center of defense. By mapping your existing defensive stack to the MITRE ATT&CK® framework. Tidal Cyber provides a precise, operational view of how your defenses perform against tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) used in the wild.

For public sector defenders, this means:

  • Accurate Threat Prioritization – Focus on the threats, campaigns, and adversary groups most likely to target your infrastructure, ensuring resources are applied against the threats that matter most and where adversary behavior may have the greatest impact.
  • Improved Control Effectiveness – Identify true coverage gaps, avoid redundant capabilities, and prioritize investments based on how controls are actually configured, not assumed.
  • Streamlined Compliance – Map controls to frameworks like NIST CSF, CIS-18, CRI, and MITRE D3FEND to visualize your coverage and depth of coverage of how your defensive stack aligns to various Control Frameworks, providing GRC and security teams a unified report of overlapping coverage or unique coverage that may need augmentation to avoid a single point of failure.
  • Operationalize ATT&CK – Map adversary (Sub-)Techniques and procedures to your existing EDR, SIEM, and SOAR linking behaviors to detections, data, sources, and tools to enable faster, more precise responses while ensuring defenses align to real-world adversary behavior.
  • Measurable Risk Reduction – Track and report progress through our Confidence Score, demonstrating to leadership and oversight bodies how security posture is improving against prioritized threats.

With Tidal Cyber, public-sector agencies can move beyond reactive defense to a proactive, threat-led defense approach that strengthens mission resilience, optimizes resources, and ensures alignment between security priorities and how adversaries actually behave and execute techniques.
