Session
Does working with MITRE ATT&CK® fill you with dread? Do you worry about not knowing the newest cloud TTPs? Are you afraid of ridicule from your friends and family for getting a mapping “wrong”? Are you haunted by the seemingly never-ending story of abuse of valid cloud credentials (#T1078.004)? If any, or potentially all of the above is true, you’re in the right place!
In this talk, join two members of the ATT&CK team in a walkthrough of mapping real incidents to ATT&CK for Cloud. Using Scattered Spider and APT29 as examples, we will explore not only the process of creating technique mappings, but also the value-add of bringing together CTI, detection, and other stakeholders in order to better understand and track threats. We will explore tips, tricks, and some of our own errors analyzing data and reporting to chain techniques together to tell a meaningful and actionable story for defenders.
