Talk D-1: Fortifying your Defenses: Proactive Threat Mitigation and Environment Hardening through a TTP-focused Approach

The MITRE framework currently reflects a total of 1000+ attack techniques and sub techniques; this does not change much over time. In stark contrast, IOCs may change multiple times in a day. This paper will explore the concept of risk-based infrastructure hardening based on the recurring playbooks of malware / ransomware threat actors. Practitioners may augment traditional approaches built upon security frameworks and detection strategies based on TTPs and IOCs with risk-based infrastructure hardening on current threat-relevant TTPs.
