Using MITRE ATTandCK™ in Threat Hunting and Detection

MITRE ATTandCK ™ is an open framework and knowledge base of adversary tactics and techniques based on real-world observations. ATTandCK provides a common taxonomy of the tactical objectives of adversaries and their methods. Having a taxonomy by itself has many valuable uses, such as providing a common vocabulary for exchanging information with others in the security community. But it also serves as a real technical framework for classifying your current detection efforts and identifying gaps where you are blind to certain types of attack behaviors.
This paper will introduce you to ATTandCK and related tools and resources based on ATTandCK. Then it will discuss how to make practical use of ATTandCK with a focus on threat hunting and detection.
