Tidal Cyber, a leader in Threat-Led Defense, has announced a strategic partnership with Crimson7, a specialized Threat Research Lab focused on ATT&CK intelligence and offensive research. Through this collaboration, Crimson7’s mapped threat hunts will integrate directly into the Tidal Cyber platform. As a result, organizations can prioritize threat hunting activities that close security coverage gaps and measurably improve their Threat-Led Defense Confidence Score.
Many security teams currently face challenges linking threat hunting efforts to measurable improvements in their security posture. Often, teams conduct hunts without fully understanding which adversary behaviors they target or how those efforts reduce organizational risk. Consequently, this lack of clarity can limit the effectiveness of threat hunting programs. However, the new integration between Tidal Cyber and Crimson7 addresses this issue by aligning threat hunts with adversary behavior and providing direct visibility into defensive coverage and risk reduction.

With this integration, threat hunts created within the Crimson7 platform appear in the Tidal Cyber system as Detection Capabilities. Therefore, organizations can clearly identify which MITRE ATT&CK techniques their teams actively monitor and where additional focus is necessary. This visibility allows security teams to prioritize the most impactful hunts, ultimately reducing the likelihood of successful cyberattacks and strengthening their defensive readiness.
“Threat-Led Defense is about proving, not assuming, that defenses work against real adversary behavior,” said Frank Duff, Chief Innovation Officer at Tidal Cyber. “By integrating Crimson7’s hunt intelligence into our platform, security teams can optimize and manage their attack surface bridging external, internal and identity threats.”
In addition, Crimson7’s platform supports both real-time incident investigations and proactive threat hunting. This capability enables defenders to identify attacker techniques that may bypass traditional security tools. When combined with Tidal Cyber’s detailed procedure-level intelligence, coverage mapping, and confidence scoring, organizations gain a measurable framework to operationalize threat hunting as a key component of defense-in-depth strategies.

“Our goal is to help teams hunt with purpose and precision,” said Nick Maeckelberghe, Managing Director at Crimson7. “Partnering with Tidal Cyber places threat hunting directly within a Threat-Led Defense model, allowing teams to prioritize hunts that materially improve detection coverage and defensive confidence.”
Furthermore, this partnership helps organizations transition from reactive and ad hoc threat hunting to a more structured, intelligence-driven approach. By connecting threat hunting to clear analytics and confidence metrics, security teams can better justify their efforts and continuously strengthen their defenses.
Ultimately, the joint solution benefits organizations across multiple sectors, including financial services, retail, aerospace, healthcare, technology, and critical infrastructure. As cyber threats continue to evolve, the Tidal Cyber and Crimson7 collaboration enables enterprises to adopt a proactive, threat-informed defense model that improves visibility, strengthens detection capabilities, and enhances overall cybersecurity resilience.
