DSMM (Defensive Security Management Methodology) is turning security operations into measurable, value-driven engineering.
Security is measurable .
DSMM is Hacktica’s proprietary methodology that translates defensive security work into measurable business value. Instead of relying on assumptions, DSMM evaluates how well your protection plan performs — using defined process lists, command-based validations, and real-world attack simulations.
What DSMM Delivers:
- A structured, repeatable way to assess and validate security defenses
- Maps security engineering effort to risk reduction outcomes
- Uses tools like RMS (Risk Mitigation Score) and Readiness Levels to quantify posture
- Bridges the gap between technical controls and business justification
Used in:
- Security Control Assessments (SCA) for WAF, Bot Managers, and other Layer 7 defenses
- Incident Response Readiness (IRR) evaluations
- Executive reporting and investment justification
DSMM Evaluation Dimensions:
•Coverage (known threats tested against control)
• Reliability (does it detect consistently?)
• Enforcement (does it block or just alert?)
• Business Risk (how exposed are critical assets or flows?)
• Adaptiveness (can the control adjust or respond under attack?)
