Abstract: Techniques for mitigating cybersecurity performance gaps in an organization are disclosed. The method comprises the steps of selecting a threat framework for formulating a threat detection strategy, mapping most likely adversary tactics that may be used to circumvent the threat detection strategy, updating the threat detection strategy, and performing threat detection to determine threat assessment scores. Further, the determined scores are categorized and contextualized to identify cybersecurity gaps in the organization. These gaps are prioritized based on certain criteria to provide automated recommendations and alerts regarding cybersecurity performance gaps and related organizational risks.
