Building a Threat-Informed Defence: Why ANSecurity and MITRE ATT&CK Should Be Your Next Move

In today’s rapidly evolving cyber landscape, a reactive security posture simply isn’t enough. With threats becoming increasingly sophisticated and targeted, businesses across the UK need to adopt a more strategic, threat-informed approach to cyber defence. That’s where ANSecurity steps in—leveraging the power of the MITRE ATT&CK framework to build proactive, resilient security infrastructures tailored to real-world threats.

What is MITRE ATT&CK?

The MITRE ATT&CK framework is a globally recognised knowledge base of adversary tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) based on real-world observations. In simpler terms, it’s a living, breathing library of how attackers operate—mapped in a way that helps security teams anticipate and defend against specific behaviours.

Unlike traditional security models, which often focus on tools or perimeter defences, MITRE ATT&CK allows organisations to see the full picture: from initial access to exfiltration, offering a comprehensive view of potential attack paths.

Why Threat-Informed Defence Matters

A threat-informed defence doesn’t just block threats—it understands them. By aligning your security strategy with known adversary behaviours, you’re no longer playing catch-up. Instead, you’re anticipating moves, strengthening defences where they’re needed most, and improving your organisation’s overall cyber resilience.

This is where ANSecurity excels.

How ANSecurity Puts MITRE ATT&CK Into Practice

ANSecurity isn’t just another cybersecurity consultancy. They embed threat intelligence into everything they do—using MITRE ATT&CK to guide assessments, inform risk decisions, and prioritise security investments where they matter most.

Here’s how ANSecurity delivers value through a threat-informed approach:

• Tailored Security Assessments: By mapping your current security posture against MITRE ATT&CK, ANSecurity identifies real gaps—not just generic risks.

• Prioritised Remediation: Not every vulnerability is equal. ANSecurity uses ATT&CK data to help you fix what attackers are most likely to exploit.

• Red and Purple Team Exercises: Real-world simulations aligned to MITRE ATT&CK tactics and techniques help you test your defences effectively—and improve them iteratively.

• Operational Integration: Whether you’re using a SIEM, SOAR, or XDR, ANSecurity helps align these technologies with ATT&CK, so alerts and investigations are grounded in context, not guesswork.

• Ongoing Intelligence: The cyber threat landscape doesn’t stand still, and neither does ANSecurity. They ensure your defences evolve alongside emerging threats.

The Result? A Smarter, Stronger Defence

When you partner with ANSecurity, you’re not just implementing tools—you’re adopting a mindset. A mindset grounded in evidence, driven by data, and focused on defeating real adversaries.
