Frameworks
An attack framework is very useful to allow us to understand the tools, the tactics, and the techniques attackers will use to launch successful attacks. Security professionals must be able to understand how they plan their attacks right from the initial reconnaissance through to completion of the attack. We will cover some of the industry-accepted approaches in this section.

MITRE is a not-for-profit organization. It was founded in 1958, primarily as an organization to support government and industry. Many of the current members come from industry (for example, Microsoft and Fujitsu are current members). MITRE receives government funding to carry out research and is well known for its published attack frameworks and tactics. The matrices are created to understand the tactics and techniques that attackers will use against operating systems, cloud network mobility, and industrial control systems...
