How to start

Get started with SebDB

SebDB helps you make smarter decisions using three powerful starting points: risk, behavior, and alignment to a cybersecurity framework.

Start by choosing where to begin:

Reduce a risk

Reducing impact is one of the most effective ways to manage risk. Impact is the real-world harmful or undesirable result of a security risk (i.e., the result if a risk materializes).

Pick an impact (e.g., data compromise, account compromise) to see which behaviors influence it, and where to act first.

Start with an impact

Explore a behavior

A security behavior is focused on the everyday actions and decisions of technology users.

Search or browse behaviors to see why it matters, what it affects, and which impacts it can influence.

Browse behaviors

Align to a cybersecurity framework

Do you need to report or audit? SebDB behaviors are already mapped to NIST CSF and MITRE ATT&CK frameworks, with clear justification for every link.

Explore the mappings to see how behaviors support your control sets.
