About threat-mitigation-mapping

A security-planning skill for mapping threats to controls and assessing coverage. It helps security teams plan investments, remediation, and defense in depth using reusable templates and worked examples.

Key features

  1. 01Classifies preventive, detective, and corrective controls
  2. 02Maps controls across network, application, data, endpoint, and process layers
  3. 03Supports defense-in-depth assessment
  4. 04Provides templates for gap reports and roadmaps

Use cases

  1. 01Prioritize security investments
  2. 02Build a remediation roadmap
  3. 03Review control coverage and critical gaps
  4. 04Plan layered defenses and risk treatment

Install

Copy the command and run it in a terminal.

From the project README

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
LayerExamples
NetworkFirewall, WAF, DDoS protection
ApplicationInput validation, authentication
DataEncryption, access controls
EndpointEDR, patch management
ProcessSecurity training, incident response
3. Defense in Depth
                    ┌──────────────────────┐
                    │      Perimeter       │ ← Firewall, WAF
                    │   ┌──────────────┐   │
                    │   │   Network    │   │ ← Segmentation, IDS
                    │   │  ┌────────┐  │   │
                    │   │  │  Host  │  │   │ ← EDR, Hardening

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
