STRIKEMIND – Adversarial Simulation Platform
A unified adversarial loop blending live emulation, deception, and ATT&CK-mapped outputs to drive detection uplift and operational readiness.
Overview
STRIKEMIND was created to address fragmented workflows, reactive models, and weak handoffs between offensive and defensive teams. It fuses red-team methodology, live threat-actor emulation, dynamic exploit chains, and defensive telemetry enrichment into a single, adaptive loop.
- Continuous evolution from live adversary behaviours and deception inputs
- ATT&CK-mapped outputs and sequence timelines for fast triage
- Detection engineering uplift with measurable improvement targets
Core Capabilities
Live Adversary Emulation
Realistic tradecraft with controlled scenarios, replayable steps, and evidence trails.
Deception Integration
Layered deception signals to stress analyst cognition and playbook responses.
ATT&CK Heatmaps
Technique coverage with timelines to highlight detection gaps and false-negative zones.
Telemetry Enrichment
EDR/SIEM/SOAR signals correlated with emulation steps for clear uplift actions.
Cognitive Gap Surfacing
Highlights handoff issues, timing delays, and procedural weaknesses in defenders.
Air-Gapped Operations
Profiled for high-assurance environments and hybrid kill-chain disruptions.
Operating Modes
Scenario Sprints
1–2 week focused runs, scoped to priority techniques and expected signals.
Quarterly Programme
Rolling emulation, remediation workshops, and re-tests for sustained uplift.
Tabletop + Light Emulation
Process rehearsal with selected live steps to validate handoffs and timing.
Workflow
- Scope objectives and target behaviours
- Rules of engagement and safety checks
- Design scenarios and deception layers
- Execute live emulation with observers (purple team)
- Capture evidence, timelines, and ATT&CK coverage
- Deliver gap list, owners, and uplift actions
- Re-test to verify improvements
Deliverables
Findings + Heatmap
- ATT&CK technique coverage and sequence timelines
- Gap list with owners and target dates
- Detection engineering notes
Evidence Pack
- Commands, artefacts, and session logs
- Screens/exports for audit and replay
- Optional ATT&CK cross-walk appendix
E.R.I.C.A Suite Integration
STRIKEMIND integrates with the E.R.I.C.A suite to share entities, indicators, and heatmaps with adjacent modules.
- GHOSTCLR: imports watchwords and indicators to seed scenarios
- VEILFRAME: pulls darknet exposure to craft adversary context
- Dashboards: renders coverage heatmaps and progress across re-tests
FAQs
How is this different to red teaming?
It prioritises repeatable uplift and measured detection gains rather than single-shot stealth objectives.
What do we need to start?
Defined objectives, a test window, and access to relevant logging and playbooks.
Can it run in restricted networks?
Yes. It’s profiled for air-gapped or segmented environments with controlled artefact flow.
How are improvements tracked?
Technique coverage, timing deltas, and reduced false-negative zones across re-tests.
