Archetypes: adversary and organizational

Archetypes

The USABLE project created a series of archetypes. Those are fictional profiles which can guide your security planning and decision-making. Adversary archetypes can illuminate the various motivations, favored means of attack, and resources being used by malicious actors without naming or identifying specific adversaries, which can be dangerous for at-risk organizations or communities. Organizational archetypes, on the other hand, highlight patterns in the circumstances of real organizations rather than basing the resource on any single organization’s experience. They therefore provide critical information without increasing risk by identifying particular organizations.
