The CS36 Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI) Portal serves as the predictive "Antibody Memory" for critical infrastructure, providing high-fidelity analysis of the adversaries targeting our national stability. Our directive is to move beyond static indicators, focusing instead on the Tactical, Operational, and Strategic profiling of nation-state proxies—such as NoName057(16) and Volt Typhoon—to understand their intent before they strike. By mapping live adversary behavior to the MITRE ATT&CK® and Diamond Model frameworks, we empower regional partners in the Maritime, Energy, and Transit sectors with the "Environmental Awareness" required to prioritize defenses and verify control efficacy. This tradecraft is essential because, in the 2026 threat landscape, intelligence is the only force capable of turning a reactive "firewall" into a proactive, self-healing shield for our collective Homeland security.
MITRE ATT&CK NAVIGATOR MAPPING - NoName057(16)
The CS36 MITRE ATT&CK® Navigator Mapping section serves as the Operational Visualization Layer of the CS36 ecosystem, providing a high-fidelity, heat-mapped view of the modern threat landscape. Our primary directive is the translation of raw Threat Intelligence (TI) and Adversary Emulation (AE) data into a functional blueprint that identifies precisely where critical infrastructure vulnerabilities intersect with adversary tradecraft. By leveraging the global standard for characterizing adversary behavior, we provide a unified technical language that allows IT Security Operations and OT/ICS Engineers to synchronize hardening efforts across the enterprise.
In an era of decentralized and asymmetric offensive methods, we have moved beyond traditional pattern matching. Instead, we utilize the Navigator to perform Attack Surface Analysis and Vulnerability Prioritization. This approach enables us to systematically reduce adversary capability by identifying and mitigating the specific techniques used to target Lifeline Sectors. By mapping these vectors, we move defense from reactive guesswork to Evidence-Based Risk Reduction, ensuring that limited defensive resources are deployed to maximize the protection of our nation’s most vital assets.
Adversary Behavior Matrix - NoName057(16)
Adversary behavior matrices and indexing at CS36 provide the structural framework necessary to quantify and catalog the non-linear methods employed by decentralized threat actors. By indexing observed behaviors across the MITRE ATT&CK® Enterprise and ICS matrices, we move beyond transient indicators of compromise (IOCs) to focus on the persistent Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures (TTPs) that define adversary capability. This indexing process creates a technical "taxonomy of intent" that maps offensive actions directly to internal vulnerability management workflows. By categorizing these behaviors, we can systematically identify high-value "choke points" within the attack surface where the application of specific security controls will yield the highest reduction in an adversary's operational success rate. This rigorous indexing ensures that the defense of critical assets is grounded in empirical behavior data, allowing for the precise calibration of the "Digital Skin" to withstand the specific pressures of the modern geopolitical landscape.
