| 6 | # Threat Mitigation Mapping |
| 7 | |
| 8 | Connect threats to controls for effective security planning. |
| 9 | |
| 10 | ## When to Use This Skill |
| 11 | |
| 12 | - Prioritizing security investments |
| 13 | - Creating remediation roadmaps |
| 14 | - Validating control coverage |
| 15 | - Designing defense-in-depth |
| 16 | - Security architecture review |
| 17 | - Risk treatment planning |
| 18 | |
| 19 | ## Core Concepts |
| 20 | |
| 21 | ### 1. Control Categories |
| 22 | |
| 23 | ``` |
| 24 | Preventive ────► Stop attacks before they occur |
| 25 | │ (Firewall, Input validation) |
| 26 | │ |
| 27 | Detective ─────► Identify attacks in progress |
| 28 | │ (IDS, Log monitoring) |
| 29 | │ |
| 30 | Corrective ────► Respond and recover from attacks |
| 31 | (Incident response, Backup restore) |
| 32 | ``` |
| 33 | |
| 34 | ### 2. Control Layers |
| 35 | |
| 36 | | Layer | Examples | |
| 37 | | --------------- | ------------------------------------ | |
| 38 | | **Network** | Firewall, WAF, DDoS protection | |
| 39 | | **Application** | Input validation, authentication | |
| 40 | | **Data** | Encryption, access controls | |
| 41 | | **Endpoint** | EDR, patch management | |
| 42 | | **Process** | Security training, incident response | |
| 43 | |
| 44 | ### 3. Defense in Depth |
| 45 | |
| 46 | ``` |
| 47 | ┌──────────────────────┐ |
| 48 | │ Perimeter │ ← Firewall, WAF |
| 49 | │ ┌──────────────┐ │ |
| 50 | │ │ Network │ │ ← Segmentation, IDS |
| 51 | │ │ ┌────────┐ │ │ |
| 52 | │ │ │ Host │ │ │ ← EDR, Hardening |
| 53 | │ │ │ ┌────┐ │ │ │ |
| 54 | │ │ │ │App │ │ │ │ ← Auth, Validation |
| 55 | │ │ │ │Data│ │ │ │ ← Encryption |
| 56 | │ │ │ └────┘ │ │ │ |
| 57 | │ │ └────────┘ │ │ |
| 58 | │ └──────────────┘ │ |
| 59 | └──────────────────────┘ |

Read that file when you need the concrete templates for: Mitigation Model, Defense in Depth scoring, Executive Summary scaffolding, Critical Gaps reporting, Recommendations, Implementation Roadmap, Results by Control. |
| 65 | |
| 66 | ## Best Practices |
| 67 | |
| 68 | ### Do's |
| 69 | |
| 70 | - **Map all threats** - No threat should be unmapped |
| 71 | - **Layer controls** - Defense in depth is essential |
| 72 | - **Mix control types** - Preventive, detective, corrective |
| 73 | - **Track effectiveness** - Measure and improve |
| 74 | - **Review regularly** - Controls degrade over time |
| 75 | |
| 76 | ### Don'ts |
| 77 | |
| 78 | - **Don't rely on single controls** - Single points of failure |
| 79 | - **Don't ignore cost** - ROI matters |
| 80 | - **Don't skip testing** - Untested controls may fail |
| 81 | - **Don't set and forget** - Continuous improvement |
| 82 | - **Don't ignore people/process** - Technology alone isn't enough |
