Oct 27, 2024
MITRE's ATT&CK Framework
Overview
Adversary Challenges
Adversaries typically remain undetected on networks for months after a breach.
Understanding adversarial penetration, movement, and objectives is crucial for defense.
ATT&CK Framework by MITRE
Describes how adversaries infiltrate networks, move laterally, escalate privileges, and evade defenses.
Provides perspective from the adversary's point of view, outlining their goals and methods.
Tactics and Techniques
Tactics
: Specific technical objectives that attackers aim to achieve.
Examples include:
Defense Evasion
Lateral Movement
Exfiltration
Techniques
: Various methods an adversary might use to achieve each tactic.
Techniques vary based on adversary expertise, tool availability, and system configuration.
Each technique includes:
Description of the method.
Applicable systems or platforms.
Known adversary groups using the technique.
Mitigation strategies.
References to real-world usage.
Benefits of ATT&CK
Understanding Adversary Operations
Helps in planning detection and prevention strategies.
Provides insights into adversary preparation and execution stages.
Detection Enhancement
Framework aids in developing analytics for detecting adversary techniques.
Adversary Group Information
ATT&CK maintains a library of adversary groups and their campaigns.
Based on real-world data, allowing correlation of adversaries with techniques.
Technology Domains
ATT&CK is segmented into domains covering:
Enterprise networks (Windows, Linux)
Mobile devices
Community and Collaboration
MITRE fosters a community around ATT&CK for knowledge refinement and sharing.
A conflict-free environment is maintained for creating and managing information.
