1. Know Your 10 Critical Assets
   Start with what truly matters — your crown jewels. If you don’t know what to protect, nothing else matters.
2. Model 10 Realistic Threats
   For those 10 assets, model 10 threats based on real-world TTPs. Think like the adversary.
3. Define 10 Key Preventive Controls
   List the 10 controls you rely on to stop those threats before they land. Are they working?
4. Design 10 Strong Detection Rules
   For each top threat, build targeted detections. No noise — just signal.
5. Write 10 Clear Response Playbooks
   One playbook per detection. Who does what, when, and how? No guessing in a crisis.
6. Build 10 Test Cases
   Validate each detection rule. Simulate the attack. Make sure it actually works.
7. Track 10 IR Metrics That Matter
   Response time, detection time, false positives, missed detections, etc. Improve what you measure.
8. Tie Detection to 10 Business Impacts
   Every threat should map to a business consequence. Make your SOC business-aware.
9. Automate 10 Things That Make Sense
   Start small. Think triage, notifications, containment. Whatever reduces fatigue.
10. Run 10 IR Exercises
    Tabletops, simulations, drills. Build the IR muscle before you need it.
