ATT&CK® Fundamentals
Begin with the Fundamentals
Experts from MITRE produced the ATT&CK Fundamentals course to help forge a new breed of advantaged defenders, better prepared than ever before to stop agile adversaries. This course is the first and fundamental piece of the MAD20™ online training series and will:
- Introduce the MITRE ATT&CK framework, a globally accessible knowledge base, and a cyber adversary behavior model based on real-world observations.
- Familiarize learners with how the ATT&CK knowledge base documents real-world adversary tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs).
- Visualize the various ways to exploit this understanding of adversary TTPs to address current (operational) and future (strategic) threats.
- Understand how ATT&CK enables us to produce measurable and trackable answers to the hard questions we face every day as defenders, such as "how does our decision to ____ make us better/worse at defending against threats?"
Target Audience
Anyone involved or interested in threat modeling and applying this knowledge to improve how you and your organization defends against adversaries.
