Case study 2 – CTI for Level 2 organizations

Level 2 organizations are those that possess a maturing threat intelligence program. They have passed the Level 1 stage and are ready to make CTI part of their culture. We assume that Level 2 organizations have a CTI team in place that regularly monitors threat groups.

Objective

The intelligence objective of Level 2 organizations is to self-map intelligence analysis to specific framework models (such as the MITRE ATT&CK or Cyber Kill Chain model). The objectives can be achieved easily by leveraging threat intelligence frameworks.

Strategy

Level 2 organizations can integrate a CTI program by following these strategic steps:

Execute the Level 1 process from the preceding section to understand the adversaries' techniques and collect internal logs and other external data.
Map the analysis output (or the report) to the chosen framework. For example, to map a security report to MITRE ATT&CK, the CTI...
