Use cases

One model, read once, used by every team.

Four teams reading the same report produce four different truths, each in its own tool and vocabulary. The use cases below are consumers of one governed model. Every team keeps its tools, the knowledge stays one, and each use case names the regulation or programme it serves, DORA, NIS2, KRITIS, TIBER-EU, or CTEM.

  1. 01–02 · Know the threat

    Context over volume.

    More feeds do not make a SOC safer. Knowing which actors matter to you and holding a model of their behaviour that your analysts stand behind does.

    1. Use case 01

      CTEM · TIBER-EU

      Threat-actor relevance and threat assessment

      Generic actor lists leave the question of relevance to the reader. The platform scores a curated library against your business parameters, scenarios and the events you track, and returns the actors relevant to you ranked by risk, each with a rationale that can be checked.

    2. Use case 02

      DORA · NIS2

      Governed Cyber Threat Modelling

      A report refined by hand takes weeks and a report refined by a model alone cannot be trusted. Here the AI builds the attack graph, every claim keeps its evidence and confidence, and an analyst validates before anything leaves the model.

  2. 03–06 · Run defence operations

    From intelligence to action.

    Intelligence that does not change a detection, a hunt, or a response is not readiness. These four use cases are driven by the same model and keep the path back to the claim.

    1. Use case 03

      KRITIS · DORA

      Detection engineering

      Rules written on request from a language model are claims without context. The platform derives detection logic from validated techniques, binds it to the log sources you have, and emits native rules for your SIEM and EDR, with coverage counted per adversary.

    2. Use case 04

      CTEM

      Threat hunting

      Hunting without a hypothesis is browsing. Hypotheses are read off the adversary's procedure in the model, linked to investigative questions and to the data that can answer them, so hunters start where the adversary would be rather than where the noise is.

    3. Use case 05

      NIS2 · DORA

      Incident response

      Containment that starts before the campaign is understood leaves gaps. Scope is taken from the observable layer of the model, infrastructure, ports and verified indicators, and the graph guides responders in the attacker's order, from technique to log source to event.

    4. Use case 06

      CTEM · DORA

      Exposure management

      A CVSS score says nothing about whether an adversary can reach the weakness. Weaknesses and attack paths are ranked by adversary relevance based on motivation and intent per critical business function, from the same model the SOC and the red team use, so there is no parallel truth.

  3. 07–08 · Test and prove

    Evidence, not statements of intent.

    Regulators ask for threat-led tests and an auditable line from intelligence to control. Both come out of the model rather than from a blank page.

    1. Use case 07

      TIBER-EU · DORA

      Threat-led testing (TIBER-EU / DORA)

      Every test cycle that starts from scratch repeats the research of the last one. Threat profiles, scenarios, and attack paths per critical business function are generated from the model as the data behind the Targeted Threat Intelligence Report, traceable to the sources and repeatable at the next cycle.

    2. Use case 08

      DORA · NIS2 · KRITIS

      Compliance evidence and risk reporting

      Auditors want to see which claim led to which control, not a policy document. The model keeps that lineage per critical business function, who threatens it and how, what is detected and what is tested, and the reporting engine turns it into reviewed, TLP-marked documents.

  4. 09 · Towards the agentic SOC

    Who owns the knowledge layer.

    Use case 09

    MCP · API · STIX/TAXII

    One governed knowledge layer for the AI agents in your SOC

    Agents are only as good as the context they act on, and that context is usually embedded in one vendor's ecosystem, hard to share and reuse across a diverse security stack. Your own agents, or the agents shipped with your platforms, read validated claims from the governed model over APIs and MCP. Change the platform, keep the knowledge.

    • Agents read validated state, the techniques of an actor, the attack vectors of a function, and the detections that cover them
    • Governed threat knowledge stays reusable across changes of SIEM, EDR, CTI source or AI platform, without tying the organisation to one ecosystem

Compliance evidence

Built for DORA, NIS2, KRITIS, and TIBER-EU.

Critical business functions are modelled the way the regulations describe them, and every detection and every test scenario is traceable from the intelligence it came from to the control it became.

  1. DORA

    Digital operational resilience

    • Cyber threats and vulnerabilities assessed per ICT-supported business function
    • Detection criteria and thresholds derived from the threat, traceable to the intelligence behind them
    • Threat Scenarios per critical or important function for the Targeted Threat Intelligence Report
  2. NIS2

    Risk-management measures

    • Risk analysis built on the actual threat landscape
    • Effectiveness of measures proven by emulation
    • Evidence of implementation on request of the supervisor
  3. KRITIS

    Attack detection in Germany

    • Systems for attack detection fed from validated intelligence
    • Detection kept current with the threat landscape, as the BSI guidance asks
    • Evidence per rule, the source claim, and the mapping decision
  4. TIBER-EU

    Threat-led penetration testing framework

    • Generic Threat Landscape and Targeted Threat Intelligence Report sections generated from the model
    • Scenarios per critical business function, repeatable at the next cycle
    • Input for the threat-intelligence phase, the test itself stays with accredited providers

Start with two of them

Pick the two use cases that prove the model in your environment.

Detection coverage and hunting are the usual first pair. Response, exposure and threat-led testing follow on the same model.
