One of the best frameworks that showed up within the last 5 or so years is undoubtedly the MITRE ATT&CK® framework. Many of us may know about it in passing and even reference from time to time, but very few people seem to know the true depth of knowledge contained - everything from analytics to threat groups, specific mitigation and detection opportunities, and with the newest versions, even specific data sources. In this episode we talk to the Defensive Lead of ATT&CK from MITRE, Lex Crumpton, about what every blue team member needs to know about this framework, and more!
