No: 43065348 Date(g): 27/2/2022 | Date(h): 26/7/1443 Status: In-Force

Member Organizations should consider integrating CTI in situational awareness and red teaming assessments in line with the "SAMA FEER Framework".

The Integration within situational awareness activities will help to build strategic understanding of cyber incidents, for example, identifying threat actors, trends in their activities, and objectives. Additionally, it will offer tactical understanding of events or situations in cyberspace and will facilitate effective and efficient decision-making in times of crisis.

Member Organizations should also take into consideration that the integration of CTI in red team assessments activities will help to get a better understanding of how cyber attackers gain access to networks and sensitive data. This can help to validate the organisation's security posture and help contextualise business process improvements by delivering more intelligence on cyber risks, their potential impact, and remediation options.
