Northgate's threat-informed defense program climbing eight steps: threats, map, prioritize, assess, emulate, close, measure and sustain. Forty public threat groups are filtered to the nine that match Northgate's sector, region and stack; 340 detection rules are tagged to ATT&CK technique IDs; and techniques are proven rather than named — spearphishing attachments, used by seven of the nine adversaries, are tested and firing, a PowerShell rule that stayed silent in authorized emulation is fixed, and a registry run-key gap becomes a detection ticket.
