Aligning Cyber Defense and Compliance: Leveraging the Cyber Defense Matrix
Steve Dyson

In today’s rapidly evolving threat landscape, organizations are under increasing pressure to maintain robust cybersecurity postures while ensuring compliance with newly implemented regulations such as the SEC Cybersecurity Rules, CMMC, and DORA. This presentation explores how proactive defensive measures, including the use of the Cyber Defense Matrix and the MITRE ATT&CK framework, DeTT&CT, & D3fend projects, can significantly enhance an organization’s ability to align security operations with compliance requirements. By mapping capabilities, identifying gaps, and systematically organizing security functions, these tools not only strengthen cyber defenses but also provide structured approaches to meeting regulatory controls. Attendees will gain insight into integrating these frameworks into their cybersecurity strategy to improve visibility, accountability, and resilience while maintaining audit-readiness and governance alignment.
