This is the English version of our older article in Czech.

We introduced you the definition of Active Cyber Defense (AD) and the AD Gray Zone (ADGZ) here: ENG, CZE.

——————————————

Over time, in our practice and research, we have come to further modify the ADGZ in order to divide it and deploy it practically in the organization.

Update:

• A new ADGZ structure has been created, separating categories that can be performed by private entities (green) and those that can only be performed by mandated entities (orange).
• A new category Adversary Takedowns has been created, which includes subcategories Botnet, Domain and Infrastructure Takedowns.
• A new Adversary Emulation category has been created that contains categories related to adversary behavior emulation and testing.
• A new Deterrence subcategory structure has been created.
• A new category Threat Intelligence has been created.
• A new structure for the subcategory Counter-Intelligence has been created.
