WHAT ARE TACTICS, TECHNIQUES, AND PROCEDURES (TTPs) IN CYBER SECURITY?

 The recently concluded FIFA World Cup had almost everyone completely mesmerized. In the semi-finals, the eventual champions- Argentina beat Croatia 3-0. What was distinct about this match was that all three goals were scored via unique attacking mechanisms. The first one was via a penalty kick. The second one was via a high quality dribbling play all the way from midfield. The third one was an exceptional display of ball handling skills near the opponent's goal.


Like in soccer, in cybersecurity too, an attacker applies a range of approaches to outmaneuver the organization's defense, exploit vulnerabilities, evade detection, and access sensitive information.

If you have to stay ahead of the attackers, you need to build mechanisms to get insights into adversary attack behaviors and how specific attacks are orchestrated. This allows you to better respond to, and mitigate, current and future threats.

This is exactly how tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) helps the cyber security teams.
