High Value Target Methodology (HVTM)
Since then, it is the most broadly used methodology worldwide to identify a company's critical assets to include not only the business or technology view, but even the cyber adversary one.
HVTM is a proposal for an add-on to existing methodologies in the field to significantly increase an organization’s cyber resilience posture against advanced adversaries by accounting for the value that these threat actors place on a given asset instead of solely focusing on the asset’s value from a business criticality or informational value perspective. This methodology is an overlay to Special Publication NIST 800-160 , MITRE Cyber Resiliency Engineering Framework and tied to the MITRE ATT&CK Framework.
