Tidal Cyber Unveils Innovative Procedures to Transform Threat-Led Defense Strategy

In a groundbreaking move that promises to redefine how security teams approach threat detection and defense, Tidal Cyber has launched its Procedures Library, aiming to bridge significant gaps in existing cybersecurity frameworks. This innovation is set to enhance organizations' capabilities in effectively responding to real-world adversary behaviors through actionable insights.

Addressing Key Challenges in Cyber Defense

For security teams that often lean on established frameworks like MITRE ATT&CK, identifying and mitigating threats can be a daunting task, primarily due to the absence of granular details surrounding adversarial actions. Tidal Cyber's new Procedures Library addresses this critical gap by offering structured and repeatable procedures—the very essence of how attackers operate in real-life situations.

According to Scott Small, CTI Director at Tidal Cyber, “Defenders need more than high-level tactics and techniques; they need real, observable behaviors they can act on.” The Procedures Library aims to equip teams with these detailed insights, enabling them to construct, test, and optimize their defenses with precision.

Comprehensive Insights for Enhanced Decision Making

Each Procedure object within the library offers rich-context information. This includes relationships to relevant ATT&CK techniques, operating systems, visibility components, and—crucially—defensive capabilities. Security teams can evaluate how well their environments defend against specific threats, facilitating proactive and informed responses to potential attacks.

With over 20,000 Procedure Sightings and 2,300 clusters launched, Tidal Cyber integrates proprietary artificial intelligence capabilities developed after acquiring Zero-Shot Security in 2025. This allows teams quick access to extensive intelligence which can be seamlessly connected to existing threat profiles, detection logic, and control stacks.

Transforming Intelligence into Action

The Procedures Library is not only a standalone asset; its true power lies in its integration with the Tidal Cyber Threat-Led Defense Platform. Security professionals can visualize these procedures within a Coverage Map and gain immediate insights into which protective measures are effective against specific adversary actions. This implementation ensures enhanced detection capabilities and simplifies prioritizing defenses.

Procedures represent the real actions adversaries take during attacks, offering clarity that bridges the gulf between theoretical intelligence and practical response. As Rick Gordon, CEO and Co-Founder of Tidal Cyber notes, “We are releasing the industry's first-ever library of structured Procedures which enable analysts to immediately operationalize this high-level threat intelligence.”

Empowering Security Teams

The introduction of the Procedures Library marks a significant leap forward for the defender community. With this resource, Tidal Cyber aims to empower security teams not just to gather intelligence but to translate that knowledge into immediate actions. From threat hunting to engineering detections, teams equipped with these tools will find it easier to act decisively against emerging threats.

In this age of escalating cyber threats, implementing a threat-led defense strategy that prioritizes observable behaviors can substantially enhance an organization’s defensive posture. Tidal Cyber is paving the way in offering resources that enable practitioners to reduce risks effectively and optimize their security measures based on real-world implications.
