MITRE ATT&CK framework

The MITRE ATT&CK framework is a knowledge base of attacker tactics and techniques based on real-world observations from security researchers. It’s a tool that’s used by security teams to better understand attack behavior and to improve defense and response strategies. In the context of cloud environments, the MITRE ATT&CK framework outlines specific techniques that adversaries use against cloud service providers (CSPs) such as AWS, Azure, and GCP.

The MITRE ATT&CK framework is particularly useful for cloud forensics because it allows responders to anticipate attacker behavior and plan their forensic investigations accordingly. By aligning with this framework, organizations can identify gaps in their defensive posture and better understand how to detect, respond to, and mitigate cloud-specific threats.

Within the scope of cloud infrastructures, the MITRE ATT&CK framework provides a matrix of known attacker TTPs, which includes...
