Navigating the Battlefield: Leveraging MITRE ATT&CK Tactics

Monday September 16, 2024 14:30 - 15:30 CEST

Clubraum 1

The current threat landscape necessitates organizations to proactively detect and remediate vulnerabilities before attackers discover and exploit them. The MITRE ATT&CK framework acts as a repository of tactics, techniques, and procedures that security professionals use to understand the behavior of attackers. Using the MITRE ATT&CK knowledge base that maps external and internal TTP, red teams can develop threat models and methodologies for more effective attacks. Researching the TTP through MITRE ATT&CK will enable analysts and defenders to better understand threats against their organizations or enterprises.

The session aims to better understand the importance of MITRE ATT&CK tactics in a live demo. The session will also demonstrate how Microsoft products use MITRE ATT&CK for SOC operations.

In the session:
- An introduction to MITRE ATT&CK tactics and techniques
- Designing breach and attack simulations process with the help of MITRE ATT&CK
- How Microsoft 365 Defender and Microsoft Sentinel use MITRE ATT&CK
