Attack-Centric Framework (ACF)

A defensive framework that re-orients cybersecurity strategy around attacker behavior rather than compliance checklists.

Summary

The Attack-Centric Framework (ACF) is an ongoing exploration of how organizations can re-orient their defensive posture around how attackers actually operate, rather than around audit and compliance checklists.

Components

1. Unified risk assessment
2. Proactive security (zero trust + threat intel)
3. Dynamic defense protocols
4. Compliance integration (GDPR, ISO/IEC 27001)
5. Threat-centric analytics
6. Industry-specific customization
7. Continuous improvement
8. Security-conscious culture
