Threat Mitigation Mapping

Connect threats to controls for effective security planning.

When to Use This Skill

Prioritizing security investments
Creating remediation roadmaps
Validating control coverage
Designing defense-in-depth
Security architecture review
Risk treatment planning

Core Concepts

1. Control Categories


Preventive ────► Stop attacks before they occur
   │              (Firewall, Input validation)
   │
Detective ─────► Identify attacks in progress
   │              (IDS, Log monitoring)
   │
Corrective ────► Respond and recover from attacks
                  (Incident response, Backup restore)

2. Control Layers

Layer	Examples
Network	Firewall, WAF, DDoS protection
Application	Input validation, authentication
Data	Encryption, access controls
Endpoint	EDR, patch management
Process	Security training, incident response

3. Defense in Depth

Best Practices

Do's

Map all threats - No threat should be unmapped
Layer controls - Defense in depth is essential
Mix control types - Preventive, detective, corrective
Track effectiveness - Measure and improve
Review regularly - Controls degrade over time

Don'ts

Don't rely on single controls - Single points of failure
Don't ignore cost - ROI matters
Don't skip testing - Untested controls may fail
Don't set and forget - Continuous improvement
Don't ignore people/process - Technology alone isn't enough
