A Cause-Oriented Cyber Threat Taxonomy: The Top Level Cyber Threat Clusters Framework

Cybersecurity discourse routinely uses the term "cyber threat" to denote several distinct concepts at once: the cause of a compromise, its outcome, the actor responsible, and the technique employed. This conflation impedes consistent classification, comparable incident documentat...

Applying the Top Level Cyber Threat Clusters: Classification, Governance, and Cross-Domain Application

This paper is the application companion to the TLCTC v2.6 core paper, which defines and freezes the taxonomy: ten cause-oriented threat clusters, ten axioms, the classification rules, the attack-path notation, and the two-layer (strategic/operational) model. The companion takes t...
